Nvidia’s Jensen Huang joins Trump on China trip

techMay 13, 202618275

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang flew on Air Force One with President Donald Trump to Beijing, joining the U.S. delegation for a high-profile China visit. Elon Musk also traveled on Air Force One, and chief executives from Apple, Boeing and Goldman Sachs are part of the broader business contingent accompanying the president. Nvidia said it will partner with British startup Ineffable Intelligence to develop new AI systems during the trip. Huang’s presence and the announced AI partnership spotlight how semiconductor access and artificial intelligence are central to U.S.-China economic and national security discussions.

Trump arrives as a supplicant for oligarchs. Xi wants Taiwan. What could possibly go right?

Trump post: CNBC incorrectly reported that the Great Jensen Huang, of Nvidia, was not invited to the incredible gathering of the World’s Greatest Businessmen/women proudly going to China. In actuality, Jensen is currently on Air Force One and, unless I ask him to leave, which is highly unlikely, CNBC’s reporting is incorrect or, as they say in politics, FAKE NEWS! It is an Honor to have Jensen, Elon, Tim Apple, Larry Fink, Stephen Schwarzmann, Kelly Ortberg (Boeing), Brian Sikes (Cargill), Jane Fraser (Citi), Larry Culp (GE Aerospace), David Solomon (Goldman Sachs), Sanjay Mehrotra (Micron), Cristiano Amon (Qualcomm), and many others journeying to the Great Country of China where I will be asking President Xi, a Leader of extraordinary distinction, to “open up” China so that these brilliant people can work their magic, and help bring the People’s Republic to an even higher level! In fact, I promise, that when we are together, which will be in a matter of hours, I will make that my very first request. I have never seen or heard of any idea that would be more beneficial to our incredible Countries! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Musk to argue against allowing the importation of infinitely better Chinese EV cars because it would personally hurt his bottom line as the artificial monopoly in America.

Hey you know what would be great for America? Seeing what everyone on that plane does and doing the exact opposite.

These guys are supposed to be big picture thinkers, yet they do shit like this? Abolish the billionaire class by any means necessary. And I mean ANY means necessary.

President Trump traveled to China with a group of CEOs, hoping Chinese leader Xi Jinping would “open up” to them. Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang flew on Air Force One, while chief executives from Apple, Boeing and Goldman Sachs will join the trip. https://wapo.st/3Pky9x6

I'd bet a dollar to a doughnut Xi thinks Trump is an ass. And is unimpressed by CEOs.

Congratulations on giving us a list of people! You are blazing a trail even at only 4% optimal staffing!

Obviously this is a Trump and oligarchs business trip. Ain’t gonna be any diplomacy going on here; just more wealth-making potential for the already obscenely wealthy.

Culper Research, one of the better activist short firms, alleges that $NVDA is illegally selling $30 bln/year in chips to China via a third party and that Jensen Huang is involved. Good report on Nvidia. Will it matter? TBD

Earlier reports said that Jensen Huang was not in the list of CEOs invited to join Trump on the trip amid curbs on the sale of Nvidia’s most advanced AI chips to China.

Trump didn’t have Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, originally on his trip to Beijing for his summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping. So, instead of just saying that and inviting him to attend and picking him up in Alaska — he decided to blame his fuck up on CNBC like any good Sociopath would do.

Also, Trump is bringing Jensen Huang because he, Trump, assumes all Asians must be the same. Trump will be like, “Mr. Xi, look at my Chinese friend.” Doubtful Trump even knows Huang is Taiwanese! 🍿
