    What I’m gathering here is that CEO is a bullshit job that requires no effort because how do you have time to keep up with cheating on your wife with at least three different women??

    I posted this elsewhere but in the spirit of the season I’m going to do it again, whether or not my partner approves.

    Apparently his wife, who he met in college, was quite a successful electrical engineer but gave it up to stay at home and raise their kids.

    And he repays her servitude with being a sleazy pos.

    He could have had the decency to divorce her if he wasn’t dedicated to their marriage anymore.

    But obviously, he has no respect for the mother of his children. Or the woman that put her own career aside to help him succeed.

      He’s a CEO of a multinational. By definition, he is not a good person. Being a good person is incompatible with the role of CEO.

      He did make them tens of billions of dollars. I think that from a purely financial standpoint, she probably did pretty well.

        Money doesn’t always (or maybe even usually) give a person purpose or satisfaction in life. We don’t know if she wanted to keep her job or was passionate about it or not, but if she did and she was, simply making lots of money doesn’t always fill that void. Money doesn’t buy happiness, but sometimes it pushes you into unhappiness just as effectively as lack of money does. Financial success is only one facet of feeling like you’re successful. Some people might be completely happy living a domestic life to a rich man, but not everyone, and we probably shouldn’t assume that it’s one way or the other for Jensen’s wife.

          “I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it’s not the answer.” - Jim Carey

          I think it is fitting coming from him because he lived that and saw how hollow it can be. Also explains why he went down the whole anti-vax route for a while desperately trying to find a purpose.

            Fascinating. As someone who also has lifelong depression, that perspective from him is valuable.

      Yes. This story has the potential to be huge. Now that all of media is aware of it, they’re going to start pulling at threads.

      Rough summary for others: Rubio straight up told Trump that Huang’s girlfriend was a Chinese asset, Trump dismissed that and invited them both on Air Force One with him. Trump’s old friend and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick also dropped her company, Megaspeed, off any blacklists or investigations, and Nvidia sold them chips. All this is happening at the same time Trump is bellowing about how we can’t regulate AI companies for fear of Chinese competition.

        This demonstrates, btw, how Trump is technically not a Russian agent, or a Chinese agent, or an Israeli agent… He is just very good at being bribed by organisations who bribe people for a living. You gotta bribe correctly, but if he’s bribed, he is worth it.

      Wow, mirrors of Covid (where he basically killed the pandemic response team of GWB/Obama a few years before).

      Dude breaks everything he touches.
