Fyi, one does photography and the other is into culinary arts. So if you ever have artsy friends who seem to have an unexplainable source of wealth, this is probably how.

JUST IN: Filings show both of Jensen Huang's children are on Nvidia's payroll with $1,000,000 salaries despite "non-technical" backgrounds

If you think they won't do everything in their power to make sure Najib is also acquitted for the 1MDB trial, you're naive.
At that rate, he would be the most pardoned person in Malaysian history.

Copy of yest’s High Court Order on DSN’s House Imprisonment.
- It was not worded in a way to suggest Court agreed and adopted AGC’s terms wholesale, which was what Bernama reported
- It made no mention of the 1MDB sentence, which again the newswire fictionalised
Why?
Yet more leniency granted to Najib. When is enough, enough?
Rosmah not allowed to live with Najib during house arrest, Umno leader says malaymail.com/article/298827…
"Lacked pop cultural impact".
They were called Gunn's Superman "Barbie for Boys". You couldn't scroll Reels without seeing the caption "kindness is the real punk rock" to the tune of Teddybears' "Punkrocker".
Just say you didn't like Hawkgirl dropping Netanyahu from the sky.
One of the reasons Skydance replaced James Gunn and Peter Safran as the heads of DC Studios had to do with box office.
• ‘Supergirl’ was a massive bomb this year.
• ‘Superman’s $618M box office was not impressive to Skydance either, as the film lacked “pop culture impact” in their eyes.

Yeah that’s kind of the idea. 🤦♂️
Trump, responding to @SkylarWoodhouse, says he spoke to Jensen Huang *today.*
"He said he had absolutely no idea that the person in question was a spy. I asked him the question. `Did you have any idea that she was a spy?' He said I had no idea that she was a spy," Trump says.

Useful point about what we mean when we say a Chinese "spy." The word may seem like a catch-all for assets, officers, etc., but each has different skills and motives
Alice Huang: The Spy Narrative Misses Her Real Business
Everyone on X seems to treat the “Alice Huang is a Chinese spy” narrative as established fact. I say, not so fast.
Having spent over two decades doing business in China, I recognize a different character: the 掮客 (commercial fixer) and 白手套 (white glove)—an intermediary who shields the real principals behind a deal.
Her career in Shanghai’s murky capital markets, followed by Megaspeed’s $4.8 billion in Nvidia chip purchases, reveals a strikingly similar pattern.
The relevant questions should be: Whose money? Whose chips? Whose interests?
My latest Substack follows the money rather than the sensational spy narrative.

He gave him a list of house arrest jokes.
Seronok terima kunjungan @Trevornoah hari ini, kami sempat bicara soal politik, humor dan macam-macam cerita yang diselang-seli gelak tawa.
Saya juga sempat titip beberapa panduan tentang bahan gurauan yang boleh dibawa ke pentas malam ini. Harap tak ada yang terasa!
Apa pun, jangan risau Trevor, kalau apa-apa jadi malam ini, kita crowdfunding ramai-ramai!
😄😂
According to reports, it was certainly noticed.
However, the result of having a presidency that values personal relationships and special interests over procedure is inaction against compromising events.
The strangest thing about the whole Jensen Huang story is that it first appeared in virtually every detail over a year ago (in the NYT). In all the time since no-one seems to have cared. Did no-one... notice?

90% of conspiracy theories around governments and corporate power are the result of assuming there's no way people that high up would fail this badly. So it must be on purpose.
Most of the time, y'all give them way too much credit.

All I’m taking away from this Nvidia story is that Wife Guys are America’s most valuable national security tool. We’re the only thing standing between this nation and its adversaries. You’re welcome.
"Huang is a singular figure: the linchpin of the company that is arguably the linchpin of the American economy. Framed another way, Nvidia has much of the financial system in a hostage situation. Huang is too big to fail."
Neither presidents nor kings have this much power.
The American economy needs Nvidia—and Silicon Valley’s excusal of CEO Jensen Huang’s reckless behavior is the latest evidence, @cwarzel argues: theatlantic.com/technology/2…
