Jensen Huang—Skipped Trump's inauguration unlike other tech CEOs, visited China instead
Jensen Huang did not attend Trump's January 20, 2025 inauguration, unlike most major tech CEOs. He was instead in Beijing for Nvidia's annual meeting, telling reporters 'We have many partners in China, we have been working here for about 25 years... we will continue to cooperate.' Nvidia still donated $1M to the inauguration fund.
