I would suspect they will be investigating how easy it is to honeypot him.
The Board should be investigating two things: if Jensen knowingly lied to the Board and if he corruptly colluded to suppress any government’s investigation into Alice Huang.
If the answer to both is no, he is a man who got duped and compromised America and Taiwan’s national security. Still, perhaps, a great founder and CEO. Send him to marriage counseling and have his security detail report to the Board.
If the answer to either is yes, he should resign, personally indemnify the company against shareholder lawsuits, and switch focus to defending himself against criminal charges (and working on his marriage or divorce, as it might be).
It can be mitigated. Lying cannot.
I guess it depends on what your definition of "was no big deal" is.
No lie here.
absurd claim with zero evidence to support it. if there was any evidence that he actually compromised US national security he would already be gone. there isn't even any evidence that the woman is a Chinese asset. that is just speculation from whatever felons leaked their illegal surveillance of a US citizen's private life.
It's likely the story coming out like this is the best mitigation they can come up with, if AI is a national security interest of the US and he's granting a Chinese asset access to said interests. He's already conspiring with a foreign government against the interests of the US.
That he's extremely visible in his role is probably the only reason he's still around, until next week or whenever. The US doesn't vanish prominent CEOs like that, that's more a China thing.
The stock is massively up under his leadership. Firing Jensen would cause a massive loss of personal wealth to everyone on that Board. You don't even want to announce an investigation like this unless you're personally scared of getting implicated in a potential cover-up.
Seriously? Our intelligence community and corporate governance is just operating in perfect shape right now?
> there isn't even any evidence that the woman is a Chinese asset
Lol got it.
okay that's a joke in this administration right, the sitting American president is a threat to American national security and they made a woman who took private trips to Assad the Director of National Intelligence. If you're capable of selling out American national interests to foreign autocrats chances are that'll you'll be appointed special envoy and get a promotion rather than the opposite
The admin definitely stinks but Tulsi is one of the cleaner ones.

They are 1) covering their butts 2) placating external influences (probably state dept) 3) trying to find out what happened, but not have it be exposed 4) Avoiding risk of their Goose laying Golden Eggs at all costs.
The man is bringing them gazillions, they are not going to flip him over like a cheezeburger.
He's replacable but it comes with gigantic risk.
Board's tend to enable thing that fill their coffers with money and protect that over everything else.
