Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang faces scrutiny over Megaspeed probe and crisis PR hire

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang faces escalating scrutiny as new details emerge, including a Commerce Department probe into Megaspeed, his 2025 crisis PR hire, and recent schedule changes by him and his daughter, though no wrongdoing is proven. The Commerce Department investigated Singapore-based Megaspeed for months before referring the case to the Justice Department, and investors were told a data center project would have no GPU supply issues. Huang began working with crisis firm Heller in 2025, and both he and daughter Madison canceled public appearances. Nvidia's board is conducting an independent investigation, with no evidence of national security harm or illegal conduct. The focus has shifted to corporate governance, export compliance, and whether Huang's personal relationships intersected with business decisions.
