Nvidia board weighs Jensen Huang's future after personal revelations

Nvidia's board is considering removing founder and CEO Jensen Huang following revelations about his personal life, according to the Wall Street Journal, sending shares down about 8% in after-hours trading. The crisis stems from disclosures of two extramarital relationships, one with a woman allegedly linked to Chinese intelligence, and suspicions that advanced Nvidia processors may have reached Chinese firms via third countries. The company launched an independent investigation on November 8, finding no evidence so far of compromised corporate secrets or national security risks. No clear succession plan exists for Huang, who co-founded Nvidia in 1993 and built it into a roughly $4 trillion company. Donald Trump has publicly supported Huang, and no official decision on his future has been announced.
