Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Resigns Amid FBI Probe Into China Ties
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has resigned amid scandals and an FBI investigation into alleged ties to Chinese intelligence, causing shares to plunge over 10% in after-hours trading. The company named CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO. Huang admitted to an affair with a former executive of Singapore data center firm Megaspeed, linked by US intelligence to China's MSS. The New York Times then reported another affair with a subordinate, and his security team allegedly pressured witnesses to sign NDAs. Huang, who co-founded Nvidia in 1993, led major decisions across technology, sales, and investment without a clear successor. Three Republican House committee chairs have demanded he testify privately by November 18, threatening subpoenas, potentially impacting US-China relations.
