Jensen Huang as a Bollywood<\/a> matinee idol, as a character from \u201cThe Matrix\u201d or donning a red velvet suit on a poster for an alternate-universe version of \u201cThe Spy Who Shagged Me<\/a>\u201d: the \u200bNvidia co-founder\u2019s extramarital affairs, including with a Chinese businesswoman, set the Internet afire this week.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The storm \u200cof AI-generated video and images, many of the clips were likely made with the help of Nvidia graphics chips, provided some light relief to a scandal that toppled<\/a> one of the tech industry\u2019s most prominent CEOs, wiping out hundreds of billions of investor \u200bvalue and triggering investigations worldwide.<\/p>\n

The Huang memes competed for the spotlight with a raft of comedic takes \u200bon the more than 12-hour outage<\/a> of Microsoft services including Outlook and Teams, topping off \u2060a week that kicked off with the latest Stephen Miller vampire memes after US President Donald Trump named him \u200bas chief of staff, effective Monday.<\/p>\n

But it was humour about the crisis surrounding Jensen Huang\u2019s exit<\/a> from Nvidia that dominated \u200bmany social media feeds, with many of the clips likely made using Nvidia graphics chips, RaviKunvariyaX quipped on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cJensen is literally funding the infrastructure, selling the hardware, and collecting revenue while the internet uses his own technology to troll him,\u201d the user said.<\/p>\n

One widely shared <\/a>image showed Jensen Huang in an Nvidia shirt turning away from logos for AI models including OpenAI, Google\u2019s Gemini \u200band DeepSeek, then pointing at a woman labelled \u201cChinese Model,\u201d a play on the allegations surrounding his resignation.<\/p>\n

A satire on X,<\/a> placed \u200cJensen Huang \u2060and Alice Huang\u2019s faces over those of actors in the opening credits of the classic sitcom \u201cThree\u2019s Company,\u201d about a man with two female roommates.<\/p>\n

Others included an AI-generated video, opens new tab<\/a> with millions of views featuring US President Donald Trump, along with others depicting what ostensibly happened behind the scenes at the chip giant.<\/p>\n

Nvidia was among the trending topics on popular \u200bplatforms such as Reddit and \u200bX for most of \u2060this week.<\/p>\n

A more than 12-hour outage<\/a> of Microsoft services, including Outlook and Teams, that sent some business scrambling for fax machines, phones and paper added fresh fodder for the \u200bmeme factories late in the week.<\/p>\n

<\/a>\u2018Happy Friday\u2019<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cNo rush. Take your time \u2026 Happy Friday,\u201d read \u200bone widely shared post, opens new tab<\/a>, \u2060signed \u201cEvery corporate employee,\u201d X user omgsidewalks posted. The X post was viewed over 4 million times.<\/p>\n

Other memes imagined a role for Microsoft\u2019s much maligned \u2018Clippy\u2019 90s-era virtual helper either causing or explaining the outage.<\/p>\n

Microsoft\u2019s services have been a repeat meme subject, \u2060including after \u200ba global IT outage in 2024<\/a> triggered by a faulty CrowdStrike update \u200bthat crashed Windows machines.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery year, Microsoft should turn off Outlook for an afternoon so we can all go outside and play with our friends :),\u201d \u200bread another X post<\/a>, with thousands of views.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
