Jensen Huang acknowledges affair; Musk, Trump, and others rally in support: Why? On November 8, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang admitted to an extramarital affair in an internal memo, prompting the NVIDIA board to launch an independent investigation. Normally, at such times, industry leaders would remain silent. Yet the following day, Sequoia partner Shaun Maguire, Elon Musk, Bill Ackman, and Donald Trump publicly voiced their support. The incident traces back to Megaspeed, a Singapore-based company founded in 2023, which evolved from the overseas operations of China’s gaming firm Seventh Avenue. In less than three years, it became NVIDIA’s largest buyer in Southeast Asia. According to Bloomberg, Megaspeed imported at least $4.6 billion worth—approximately 136,000—NVIDIA chips, over half of which were the latest Blackwell models; one of its clients was Alibaba. However, the volume of chips imported does not align with the actual scale of its data centers, prompting ongoing U.S. investigations. The woman at the center of the public controversy, Alice Huang, is a senior executive at Megaspeed. What began as a personal scandal is tied to a vast chip supply network. Why are these prominent figures uniting in support? The answer may lie in one word: indispensable.
