CNBC's 'Huang tries' wording sparks pushback from Nvidia defenders after affair report
Zachly · x · 2026-11-12
CNBC reported that Nvidia's Jensen Huang is back at the office after an affair revelation, framing it as him trying to project "business as usual."
Data analyst Ben Taylor pushed back hard, arguing that the word "tries" implies struggle or failure inconsistent with Huang's track record, and accused business journalists of consuming FUD — "either lying or believing it despite the evidence." A small AI-circle skirmish over media framing of Nvidia's CEO.
