Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigns after Rubio memo to Trump

Jensen Huang has resigned as head of Nvidia following a memo from Secretary of State Marco Rubio to President Donald Trump, according to The Washington Post. The resignation marks a major shakeup at the leading chipmaker. Rubio, known for a hardline stance on China, initiated Huang's removal and used CIA materials in the memo, presenting intelligence findings more categorically. The leaked memo triggered events culminating in Huang's departure, as hawks sought to weaken his influence with Trump. Elon Musk previously warned that Huang's resignation could disrupt key Nvidia deals. Sources say opponents aimed to eliminate his impact on the president, with the memo's leak being a pivotal factor in the chain of events.
