    Who cares?

    I'm literally asking - if you care, wanna explain why?

      At this point I'm really considering all of these comments related to Huang's conduct being "fine" or "not a problem" astroturfing.

        Why should I care he has affairs ?

          Company shareholders should care about his lack of integrity. If he can lie to his own family, he can lie to them.

          Americans should care that in a government organization, someone as compromised as him couldn't qualify for security clearance to work on as economically sensitive matters as he does. If your economy is going to be highly dependent on single individuals, and they're able to be compromised by spies and irresponsible extramarital relationships with employees, you have a huge problem.

        Maybe. In my case I just don't like prudes, especially of the grandstanding variety.

          This is not his "private life", this is him sleeping with his staff and spies?

          If he was banging professional sex workers in a jurisdiction where that was legal, I'd probably agree, it's his business, but this is not what was going on.

          Ehhh affairs are one thing, affairs with employees come with a lot of corporate implications. Also affairs with someone with ties to MSS is bad

      > Who cares?

      When its a public company CEO the ones who care are usually investors and depending on the company the government. It can put the company (thus investors and/or nation security) at risk

      People like the frisson of reading about others indiscretions.

      From Nvidia/their investors' perspective: it shows lack of good judgment that might cause future scandals or blackmail, stirs up media attention that distracts from the company's work, hurts the company's image as a fair employer, and damages the reputation of the human face of the company.

      Why would I care that the public face of a stock I hold is proving to be unprofessional?

        Who you have sex with is part of your profession?

          Do you think when it's your subordinates and foreign spies using you to break the law it's a problem, or should we go full on Russia and just be done with the law and accept corruption wholesale?

            As an investor I couldn't care less if the CEO has sex with his subordinates. What a laughable idea.

            Spies could be a major problem, but that's not what this article is about.

              That doesn’t make the risk and cost associated with those actions go away.

              If a CEO is having affairs and disregarding common workplace policies that makes them more easily targeted by those spies (or others who seek to compromise them) that could be a major problem

      Most people don't truly care about his personal situation, they care about what will happen to their $NVDA. The idea that people wont want to buy into companies because they are ran by imperfect people is laughably hilarious when things like tesla exist.

      They are not as righteous as they want to think, they are just worried their gambling wont be as profitable as they would have liked, the ultimate sin on a site like this i suppose :)

      There is a difference between affair with a potential spy/subordinate vs sex workers.

      I don't think we need to explain why here assuming everyone is discussing in good faith.
