    Lets hope his ex-wife goes the MacKenzie Scott route and starts giving away a lot of the money to charitable causes.

    (I heard even with all the charity her net worth still increased, holy shit the deck is stacked against poor people).

    if he’s as smart as the fucks want him to be, he’d cash out now while he can still handoff the bag

    Imo the trillion dollar question of if Huang is keeping his job is anyone’s guess right now, with all the nonsense in this administration its hard to tell what will happen. But my best guess is that while Trump can feign ignorance and try to pull strings to protect Huang, with a Democratic Congress and Senate-who are largely anti-AI-coming in January, that old trick won’t last forever. If a divorce goes through then that’ll definitely be a nail in the coffin

      I would expect that the bigger problem is going to be the actual movement of chips. They’ll probably to keep the focus on the affair rather than actually interrogating the degree to which sanctions were violated. “Tech CEO is a dick to his family” hasn’t exactly ended the career of anyone else so long as the money keeps moving. But given how much the domestic AI push has used hawkishness about China to justify itself there could be real problems keeping congress at bay if it turns into both an anti-AI CEO issue and an anti-China issue.

        that was my general line of thought. a lot of the AI push have been moved along by ‘we can’t loose to China’ so Huang giving so much stuff to China is definitely going to make this a lot messier of a debacle
