Jensen Huang Agrees to Testify Before Congress, But Not Publicly (Yet)

Aisha Malik, TechCrunch:

Ex-Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has agreed to testify before Congress, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast said on Thursday, according to reports from Bloomberg and NBC News. Huang, who stepped down as CEO following reports of an alleged affair with a woman suspected of spying for China, agreed to testify Wednesday after several senior lawmakers threatened to subpoena him.

Huang has agreed to testify before Congress by Thanksgiving, which falls later this month. [...]

The testimony will take place behind closed doors, though Mast said he expects the briefing to be recorded on video and transcribed.

Public reckonings will come next year. This whole thing could crater Nvidia’s stock price, sinking the market, and it’s Nvidia’s investments that are propping up the entire AI industry. So if the whole economy takes a severe beating in the coming months, imagine just how much more contentious Congressional inquiries under Democratic control could be.

I’m of the belief that the whole AI boom is ultimately a complex Ponzi scheme, and Ponzi schemes, by their nature, eventually crash out. But now Huang has set himself up as the villain. If I’m right and there’s an inevitable crash, it’s probably coming soon, and those who are left holding the bag aren’t going to come to their senses, realize it was an unsustainable circular financing scam all along, and blame themselves for falling for it. They’re going to blame Jensen Huang for not keeping his dick in his pants.
