On Wednesday, Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s chief executive, met with President Trump at the White House and agreed to give the federal government its 15 percent cut, essentially making the federal government a partner in Nvidia’s business in China, said the people familiar with the deal. The Commerce Department began granting licenses for A.I. chip sales two days later, these people said.
Sounds very unusual, so Nvidia is giving a kickback to the White House? No matter how I look at it, I can't see how this isn't a conflict of interest. I'm quite certain that someone will say the 15% kickback will be used in R&D etc to stay ahead the competitors but where do you draw the line between revenues and national interest?
Haha, that's good. For a moment I thought it was real, then I saw the community. Thanks for the laugh.
