Is Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang the new James Bond?

Original version ·

The world's favorite chipmaker is suddenly starring in a spy thriller.

Turns out, the tech world’s golden boy might have been playing a much more dangerous game than just selling GPUs. Nvidia just launched an internal investigation after reports surfaced that Jensen Huang was allegedly targeted by Chinese intelligence agents.

It is not exactly the kind of press release a company usually wants to drop right before earnings. The rumor mill suggests the CEO was lured into a situation designed to extract high-level secrets about the backbone of the AI boom. Imagine being worth billions, running the most important company on earth, and somehow ending up in a real-life geopolitical cloak-and-dagger operation.

Seems like keeping the world's data centers running is easier than keeping intelligence agencies out of your personal business.

    Wait, is this real? I thought the biggest threat to the stock was just supply chains, not state-sponsored espionage.
