- The Jensen Huang scandal and resignation rocked the business world. The internet is doing its thing.
- People have been using AI to make some creative video memes involving Huang.
- Thankfully for the meme-makers, there are enough Nvidia chips to generate them.
Jensen Huang’s downfall is being memed by the technology he sold to the world.
Huang resigned as Nvidia CEO on Thursday, following a scandal around extramarital affairs and a board investigation into concerns he might have been the subject of a foreign intelligence effort.
In response, the meme machine has been working overtime to deliver some doozies, making light of a New York Times report that a woman Jensen Huang allegedly had an affair with — Alice Huang — may have been passing information to Beijing. China has said spying allegations are unsubstantiated.
Many of the realistic video memes featuring Huang have been created using generative AI — a technology largely built and run on Nvidia chips.
One deepfake, which has over 7.5 million views, depicts a scene from “The Matrix,” but swaps the characters Neo for Jensen Huang and Morpheus for Donald Trump. And — well, you should just watch the rest. Look out for the surprise Elon Musk cameo.

Another well-crafted video drops Jensen Huang into Shaggy’s “It Wasn’t Me” music video. That’s one way to justify the massive AI data center buildout.

In another meme widely shared on X, Jensen Huang and Alice Huang have been swapped into the Coldplay “kiss cam” that went viral last year for… related reasons.

Did Alice Huang charm Jensen with her love of The Smiths, or was it just GPUs? We may never know, but this meme from a scene from “500 Days of Summer” certainly asks the question.

The scandal is a remarkable fall from grace for Jensen Huang, whose infidelity even has people looking at his iconic leather jacket in a new light.
While some on the internet see the funny side, his exit could have more serious ramifications for Nvidia and the wider AI industry.
Jensen Huang continues to face scrutiny over national security concerns, while interim CEO Colette Kress has the task of steadying the ship after a volatile week for Nvidia stock.
