Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigns after spy affair allegations

npr.org —

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has stepped down amid allegations of extramarital affairs involving an alleged Chinese spy and a company executive, following an internal investigation and sharp share price declines. Huang admitted to cheating on his wife in a staff email and pledged cooperation with the probe. Reports from the New York Times, not independently confirmed by NPR, alleged ties to a client suspected by U.S. intelligence of espionage and a second affair with a subordinate. Huang co-founded Nvidia 33 years ago, leading it to a $4 trillion valuation as a dominant AI chipmaker. Analysts say no clear successor exists, and his departure leaves the company's future direction uncertain.
