He has three supposed “sins”:
First, he followed the wrong people and chose the wrong side.
Second, as someone of Chinese descent, he leads a core supplier of critical infrastructure in the United States.
Third, he supports and promotes the export of advanced AI computing power to China.
The affair scandal is merely the trigger. In my view, the factors above are the deeper reasons for the downfall of this man, whose net worth is in the hundreds of billions of dollars and who leads an AI giant valued in the trillions.
But however the story ends, his contributions to human technology and the development of the AI industry cannot be erased.
He is one of this century’s greatest entrepreneurs and will surely go down in history.
