“It’s really sad, Jensen Huang is one of us”: shock and disillusionment in Taiwan, native island of the deposed CEO of Nvidia
REPORT - The resignation of the charismatic CEO of Nvidia, announced this Thursday, following his extramarital affairs mixed with suspicions of espionage, plunges the Taiwanese into disarray.
In the Zhongshan district of Taipei, Jensen Huang's visits to restaurants and diners permeate the memory of residents. Charismatic in his black leather jacket, the Nvidia boss electrified the crowds in the capital's night markets. Photos taken by traders with the “AI boss” as he is nicknamed are still plastered on several of the storefronts.
Sometimes autographs adorn the walls. “If Jensen is no longer CEO of Nvidia, it would be very sad. We have the feeling that he is one of us, that he represents Taiwan,” whispers, a few hours before the announcement of the leader’s resignation, a seller of steaming baozi, small brioche buns stuffed with meat.
A few months earlier, she had had the honor of seeing him in person.
