🍿 Nvidia chief admits to affair with Chinese spy

While the market digests the election results, a real-life spy thriller is unfolding around Nvidia.

In late October, The New York Times reported that U.S. intelligence agencies had been monitoring Alice Huang. She is a senior executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, which builds data centers and buys Nvidia chips. According to intelligence reports, Beijing recruited her to gather information about Nvidia chief Jensen Huang.

Nvidia initially pushed back: “Jensen meets with thousands of customers every year. There’s nothing unusual about it.”

But then the Financial Times found out that a secret intelligence memo referred to more than just business meetings. And this Sunday, Jensen himself wrote to employees: yes, there had been an affair.

⏭️ What else came to light:
⏺️ A photo of them drinking whiskey together at a bar in Taipei, June 2024
⏺️ More photos from her WeChat account, which has since been deleted
⏺️ Alice described herself as a former journalist for Hunan TV and CCTV, but the networks say they’ve never heard of her

And yes, they’re not related—they just share a surname.

Nvidia’s board has launched an independent investigation. China calls the whole thing “groundless speculation,” while Trump defended Huang and called him “brilliant.”

I say we sell the story to Netflix 😄
