Back to Jensen Ousted as Nvidia CEO: "Spy" Scandal, Export Restrictions, Market Impact, with Jensen Ousted & Export Restrictions.

Did David Sacks Introduce Jensen to Trump?

David Sacks did not introduce Jensen to Trump. He never knew Jensen before the administration. The first time he ever met him was in the White House, and Jensen was already there for a meeting.

Reporters have claimed a longstanding friendship going back to before he was in the White House, and they have claimed he introduced Jensen to Trump. Not true. He has no special devotion or loyalty to Jensen. He respects him as a founder and sees his unique value as a founder to NVIDIA and therefore to the United States.

If it is found out that Jensen has never broken the law, what is happening to him makes no sense.
