Pavel Durov, founder of VK and Telegram, has jokingly responded to reports alleging that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had an affair with a woman suspected of having ties to Chinese intelligence.
In a Telegram post, Durov joked that intelligence agencies had never sent him any attractive female spies.
«Unfair that CEOs who aren’t into Asian girls get fewer dating options from spy agencies. Where are the French/Russian/Iranian honeypots? Not one spy girl sent my way. Are they even trying?» Durov wrote.
The Telegram founder has previously expressed a preference for women who look like models. Recently, the tech entrepreneur denied rumors of a new relationship after a photograph of him with a woman named Alexa, who works for an event planning agency, circulated online. Some media outlets speculated that the two were dating, but Durov said he had met Alexa for the first time and had simply agreed to pose for a photograph.
Allegations involving Nvidia CEO
According to The New York Times, Jensen Huang has been linked to a woman named Alice Huang, who is associated with Megaspeed. This Singapore-based company operates data centers and purchases Nvidia chips. The reports allege that U.S. intelligence officials suspect the woman of having ties to Chinese intelligence, potentially including the country’s Ministry of State Security.
Nvidia is one of the world’s leading semiconductor companies and a major supplier of chips used to develop artificial intelligence systems. Its market capitalization is currently estimated at approximately $4.5 trillion.
