From Bollywood to Clippy: Nvidia scandal, Outlook glitch fuel meme storm

Online memes about Nvidia chief Jensen Huang’s alleged extramarital affairs dominated social media this week, alongside jokes about a lengthy Microsoft services outage. The posts provided comic relief amid a scandal that led to a prominent technology executive’s departure, erased hundreds of billions of dollars in investor value and prompted investigations.

Many images and videos recast Huang in Bollywood, film and television scenes, while others parodied the allegations or imagined events inside Nvidia. The Microsoft outage, which affected Outlook and Teams for more than 12 hours and left some businesses scrambling for alternatives, inspired posts about corporate workers and the return of Clippy; one widely shared post received more than four million views.
