The internet is making light of Jensen Huang’s decidedly dark start to the week.
The Nvidia CEO told staff on Sunday that he had been unfaithful to his wife. Social media accounts quickly began spoofing Huang’s infidelity.
One account turned Huang into the viral Coldplay “kiss cam” moment, when Astronomer’s former CEO, Andy Byron, and then head of people, Kristin Cabot, were caught embracing. Another put Huang into the classic “distracted boyfriend” meme, showing a man walking with one woman while looking back at another.
Then there’s the iPhone Duo, Apple’s new foldable that has two screens. One user showed Huang and his wife on the phone’s front. When opened, the device also extends to show Alice Huang, the Megaspeed executive with whom The New York Times reported Huang had a close relationship.
Huang’s wife, Lori, was a common subject of these memes. One account showed her stacking cash while asking if they would get a divorce. Another showed a video of two people on a boat with the caption: “Me and Jensen Huang’s ex wife after she gets half his money in the divorce.”
To be sure, Huang in his memo wrote to his wife and kids that he hoped “our family will heal and that, over time, I can earn back your trust.”
Some X users also memed the subject of Nvidia’s investigation: that Huang might have been the target of a “foreign intelligence effort.” Cue the spy memes, some of which were already bubbling after an OpenAI security incident.
Huang’s penchant for leather jackets also came up.
One user made a flowchart titled “How To Tell If Your GF Is A Spy.” Many made references to the Austin Powers movie, “The Spy Who Shagged Me.”
Nvidia’s board wasn’t immune. One user pointed to its members: “The former Taco Bell President is helping to investigate Jensen Huang.”
Should Huang step down? It’s the question tech onlookers (and President Donald Trump) are debating. On social media, that looked like memes predicting Huang’s unemployment.
One user joked that he was headed to a new gig at Denny’s, where he worked as a dishwasher when he was 15. Another gave him the LinkedIn banner: #OpenToWork.
