WHY NOW?

Jensen Huang is out. The leather-jacketed face of the AI boom just got the boot from the company he built into a $4-trillion-plus chip monopoly after a second affair is revealed w/ 48-year-old Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's own VP of Healthcare. With Nvidia making the most advanced AI chips on earth- are we really supposed to believe the CIA and the rest of the national-security apparatus had zero idea any of this was happening? Did the strategic importance of the company make everyone look the other way until the personal scandal became impossible to ignore? Or is there another political reason? Sexy, stupid, and definitely expensive. Same as the Chinese honeypot—only now the jacket is off.
