Nvidia’s new interim CEO, Colette Kress, has a direct line to Israel. In a 2023 interview with the Israeli business outlet Globes, she said her day starts with meetings with Nvidia’s Israeli executives: “My day starts with Israel meetings, and only then continues to California.”
Kress takes over after Jensen Huang’s resignation. Israel is one of Nvidia’s largest bases outside the United States. About 12 percent of its employees, roughly 3,200 people, work there, according to Globes.
By change, are you referring to that Huang backed up OpenAI/Anthropic’s PR stunt about the supposedly “rogue” LLM’s? Or something else?
I don’t doubt for a second that trump, as well as Huang and a couple others, all made good money on those chips, and that money went straight in their pockets. But (speculation) does trump really care about China, or is it more of keeping up with expectations from the audience? I don’t know, I feel like the only motivation for him is to expand his personal wealth. He is, as we’ve seen on TV, a ‘businessman’ first. With his level of narcissism and non-existent morals, would you expect him to do get involved with anything that doesn’t personally benefit his wealth?
i can also see this too and here’s more missing puzzle pieces for your analysis:
nvidia has been losing out on A LOT of profits because the american government will not let them sell the high end chips to china and huang was lobbying entire time to change this – letting nvidia sell to china makes the ai bubble more sustainable and ensures that china never creates a its own competitor. (it’s too late now for that last part, but there’s still plenty of profits to be had until that new competitor catches up).
trump wants it as much (or as little depending on your perspective) as much as clinton, bush jr, obama, biden, wanted it – they’ve all been adopting the same strategy when it comes to china and zooming in on trump is going to make you miss this forrest for the trees.
