WSJ: "As recently as the summer of last year, Singapore was officially one of Nvidia’s biggest markets, generating 22% of the chip maker’s revenue. Then, practically overnight, it disappeared from the company’s financial disclosures. Investors deserve to know why, and Nvidia needs to start explaining, with or without Jensen Huang at the helm. The timeline indicates that Nvidia altered its methodology for reporting the geographic breakdown of its revenue shortly after placing Megaspeed International on an internal block list. It isn’t clear if the two are related, but the shift had the effect of removing visibility into Nvidia’s sales tied to Singapore. That is the home to Megaspeed, the cloud-computing company embroiled in a sex-and-espionage scandal that has engulfed Nvidia and its chief executive." wsj.com/business/earnings/nv…

Arkansas Bar official Nancie Givens charged with 64 felonies for altering Bar Exam scores, and deleting thousands of files to hide her crimes. Prosecutors noted she added scores to White test takers and took points away from Black attorneys, causing at least one to fail. xitter.twitterapi.xyz/Newsforce/status/21185…

"I'm not that interested in the salacious details of the private life of the CEO of Nvidia," said Sen. Chris Coons. "I'm very interested in why credible reports of a national security threat were not acted on, and Jensen Huang was allowed to continue advocating for the export to China of some of his most advanced chips." to.pbs.org/3VltpdJ

What a disgustingly self-serving post. Guess the whole Chinese spy thing is kinda meh to you? This isn’t about infidelity. It’s about what the Chinese refer to as “black material”, their version of Kompromat. You’ve lost all credibility.
Our message to Nvidia's board: Do not fire Jensen Huang. There is no clear replacement for Jensen Huang. We are confident that his departure would ultimately be a net negative for Nvidia, its shareholders, and the AI Revolution. First, take a look at the data. History also suggests that removing a successful CEO will come with a significant cost. A study of 187 forced CEO departures from S&P 1500 companies found that removing outperforming CEOs resulted in negative long-term stock returns. This case would be no different, in our view. Jensen Huang is the definition of an outperforming CEO. Nvidia's board must not make a decision in the heat of the moment. The board should take the time to conduct a thorough investigation and consult with shareholders, with a strong emphasis on the latter. Quite literally, Nvidia's board should convene a special shareholder meeting and hold an advisory vote on this decision. This is the most consequential CEO controversy in world history. Shareholders deserve a say. In addition, Nvidia's stock, $NVDA, is now down -35% in 26 trading days, nearly half of which is a result of the recent scandal. We believe Jensen Huang's potential removal as CEO is now ~80% priced in. Why take an action with massive downside potential when the market has already priced in much of that risk? The downside of retaining Huang may be limited, while the potential upside is tremendous. Lastly, history shows that retaining Jensen Huang could still lead to a favorable outcome. In 2019, Amazon retained Jeff Bezos as CEO after his extramarital affair became public, and the company's stock subsequently surged +108% by 2021. Personal misconduct should not be ignored, but it must also be distinguished from corporate wrongdoing and weighed against the consequences of removing an executive who is instrumental to the company's success. We believe Jensen Huang is an irreplaceable part of Nvidia and the AI Revolution more broadly. Once the dust settles, firing Jensen Huang would prove to be a costly mistake. It is time to pause and consult your shareholders.

The power is with the people, and the people of Mississippi are with Scott. @scott_colom makes history today as the first Black senator elected in Mississippi since Reconstruction. I saw firsthand when campaigning with him in his hometown that he is a brilliant leader and dedicated public servant who will work tirelessly to serve every Mississippian with pride. Congratulations, Scott.
