The Verge on the Jensen Huang scandal and Megaspeed's $4.8B Nvidia chip deal
The Verge AI · rss · 2026-11-10
The Verge weighs in on the "National Security Incident" saga around Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and what it says about power culture in AI.
The core fact: Alice Huang, a Megaspeed executive and former TV reporter, was photographed with Jensen Huang at a Taipei bar around 2024 — roughly when Megaspeed began buying $4.8 billion of hard-to-get Nvidia chips, a push many in the industry saw as coming out of nowhere.
The piece explores whether the private conduct of figures who control scarce compute allocation deserves public scrutiny.
