Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigns after reports of outbursts and affair

Jensen Huang has resigned as Nvidia's CEO following reports of alleged explosive outbursts toward employees and an admitted extramarital affair, with the company now under interim leadership. Insiders describe Huang as prone to vicious temper tantrums, including telling an executive he hoped he would "die" and throwing a water bottle at an officer. He also reportedly berated a sales leader, saying, "I see nothing but dead faces," during a 2025 meeting. Huang's resignation follows his admission of an affair with Alice Huang, a Megaspeed executive, amid US investigations into whether the Singapore-based firm smuggled AI chips to China. Lawmakers are also examining Huang's role in export control decisions.
