Nvidia board weighs firing CEO Jensen Huang after spy relationship report

theguardian.com —

Nvidia's board met Wednesday to consider ousting CEO Jensen Huang after he admitted to a romantic relationship with a woman alleged to be a Chinese spy, with stock falling over 8% on reports of his potential firing. The meeting reverses Sunday's board confidence in Huang, and losses could erase $600bn in market value. Huang can be removed by majority vote of the 11 directors, and a law firm is investigating the relationship with businesswoman Alice Huang. Huang denies knowing of alleged government ties, while Donald Trump and Elon Musk support him. Senators have requested documents on Nvidia's China chip exports, and no successor is apparent for the AI chip leader.
