Ackman spoke up about the Jensen Huang situation, not because the two are particularly close.
He said himself that he doesn’t know Huang all that well, though Huang has clearly always been a very impressive CEO. When his daughter faced a serious health problem, he reached out to Huang for help: Nvidia is doing important work related to brain research, and Ackman also has a project aimed at helping people with brain injuries. He wanted to connect the two teams. Huang was very enthusiastic and helpful.
He went on to say that he believes in the presumption of innocence, and that the media often rushes to judgment before the facts are clear. What’s known so far is that there was an affair, which isn’t a crime; people can make up their own minds. Besides, you don’t know that much about other people’s private relationships, so it’s hard to know what this really means to those involved.
