Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang faces scrutiny over alleged affair and GPU sales to China

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang faces scrutiny over an alleged affair with Alice Huang, a Singapore-based tech executive suspected of being a Chinese operative, amid claims of illicit GPU sales to China. The scandal has triggered an internal investigation, shareholder lawsuits, and a sharp decline in Nvidia's stock price. Huang, a Taiwanese American Stanford graduate, built Nvidia into a trillion-dollar company by dominating the AI chip market. He reportedly bypassed U.S. export controls by selling over $4 billion in GPUs through Alice Huang's firm, Megaspeed, which may have smuggled them into China. He has publicly apologized to his wife, while President Trump has defended him and promised an FBI probe. The fallout threatens Nvidia's market position and broader tech investments, as Democrats plan deeper investigations after the New Year. Huang's strong control over the company may shield him from removal, raising concerns about the risks of a too-big-to-fail tech giant.
