Foreign netizens compare the Epstein Island incident to Jensen Huang: An affair causes as much uproar as a global doomsday.

According to PolyBeats monitoring, on November 11, The New York Times reported that Jensen Huang had an extramarital affair with Kimberly Powell, the Vice President of Healthcare who reports to him, and The Wall Street Journal subsequently reported that the NVIDIA board was preparing to remove him. As the controversy widened, a set of comparisons appeared on X: some said Huang's matter was trivial compared to Epstein, while others argued that various accusations against the elite class often leave them unscathed, yet Huang was being magnified, and called it a double standard against Asians.

As the Jensen Huang incident fermented, the prediction market Polymarket successively listed multiple related event topics: "Jensen Huang announces divorce within the year" at approximately 17.5% probability; "Huang Le arrested before April 2027" at 8.5% probability; "Jensen Huang arrested within this year" at 4.5% probability; "NVIDIA VP Kimberly Powell announces resignation" at 54% probability.

The New York Times previously cited informed sources saying that the Singapore government had barred Huang Le from leaving the country in 2025 and questioned her; the sources said there was insufficient evidence to show she was a co-conspirator, and the investigation into her had concluded. Separately, according to Lianhe Bao citing Caixin, Kang Wei, introduced as Huang Le's husband, was placed under criminal coercive measures around before the 2026 Spring Festival for manipulating listed stocks.

Currently, several mainstream discussions mostly focus on comparing this round of the affair controversy with the Epstein case. On November 8, Dan Collins quipped on X: on Epstein's island, some of the world's most powerful people were being blackmailed by foreign intelligence agencies, with thousands of victims, yet some people say "stop bringing it up"; others commented: in America, someone can have sex with minors on Epstein's island and still receive government protection; but if you are an American with an Asian name and face who merely had an affair, "you'd better watch out. The real white Anglo elite sitting at the table will take away everything you built."

There is also a claim pointing the finger at Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, suggesting he "did something bad," or even orchestrated or leaked this scandal. In January 2026 at Davos, Amodei told Bloomberg that selling advanced AI chips to adversaries is "a bit like selling nuclear weapons to North Korea." Huang subsequently hit back, calling the comparison of chips to nuclear weapons "crazy."
