Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Resigns After Admitting Affairs Tied to China Intelligence Scrutiny
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned Thursday after admitting to extramarital affairs amid scrutiny over a relationship with a woman linked to Chinese intelligence, ending his tenure at the company he co-founded. In his final days, Huang appeared visibly dejected, using phrases like "whatever" and "I don't care," and berating himself as a "piece of sh*t," according to Bloomberg. His typically prompt responses to employee updates slowed, marking a stark shift from his usual hands-on management style. Huang admitted the affair after Nvidia's general counsel confronted him, following a Financial Times report. He now faces potential congressional questioning and has expressed focus on his wife and protecting women publicly linked to him.
