SITUATION EXPLAINED: Was Jensen Huang pushed out of NVIDIA the way China sidelined Jack Ma? • Jensen resigned as NVIDIA CEO on Nov 12 as the board prepared to oust him • A US government memo reportedly flagged Alice Huang, an exec at NVIDIA customer Megaspeed, as a Chinese intelligence asset • No evidence has been made public and China calls the claim groundless • Jensen hasn't been charged, and Trump says Jensen told him he had "absolutely no idea" she was a spy • If the spy claim doesn't hold up, Jensen's exit looks a lot like Jack Ma's fall in 2020, when Beijing reined in China's richest man after he publicly criticized its financial regulators • Ma's Ant Group IPO was set to be the world's biggest at $34.5B and was halted 2 days before listing • Ma is still involved at Alibaba and was back shaking Xi's hand in Feb 2025 @theojaffee: "Although Jack Ma is no longer the CEO of Alibaba, he is still involved in a large capacity, which Jensen is not. Jensen was pushed out of the company entirely."
