Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigns amid scandal, sparking AI-generated memes
Jensen Huang resigned as Nvidia CEO on Thursday amid a scandal involving extramarital affairs and a board investigation into potential foreign intelligence concerns, prompting a wave of AI-generated memes mocking his downfall. The memes, created using generative AI technology built on Nvidia chips, include viral deepfakes such as a "Matrix" parody with Donald Trump and an "It Wasn't Me" music video, referencing allegations that a woman he allegedly had an affair with may have passed information to Beijing, which China denies. Huang's exit marks a dramatic fall from grace, with interim CEO Colette Kress now tasked with stabilizing Nvidia after a volatile week for its stock, while Huang continues to face national security scrutiny.
