I actually agree with this. If there's even a reasonable suspicion he participated in smuggling chips to China, he's got to go. He could be charged with very serious crimes if there is a basis to this. He could spend time in federal prison. If it turns out government officials knew about this and chose not to act because it was juicing stocks or giving them perceived leverage with China for Iran, this could extend to crimes having been committed against the US not just by Jensen but by sitting members of the US administration.

I've been skeptical of Jensen for a while now. For at least the past year, maybe longer, all he seemed to do was have fun at conferences and give interviews where he advocated for selling chips to China. There's no way he was actively managing the company while he was spending nearly 100% of his time traveling to conferences. I'm going to be blunt: the moment he started autographing breasts in public was the moment he stopped being a CEO and started prioritizing his own celebrity.

And yes, other members of this apparent oligarch class need to be held accountable for their behavior too. This isn't a double standard so much as it is Jensen is actually structurally vulnerable enough to experience consequences, whereas figures like Musk and Zuckerberg have created boards and voting configurations that make it much harder, if not impossible, for the world to punish them for severely unethical behavior.

And this is to say nothing about having an affair with a direct report in his capacity as CEO.
