Nvidia CEO's affair with suspected spy sparks global meme storm

corriere.it (Italian) —

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's alleged affair with a Chinese executive suspected of espionage has triggered a global wave of memes on X, mocking the crisis while the company's stock initially dropped about 7%. Huang admitted infidelity in an internal message, apologizing to his family and company, while the board launched an independent investigation. Nvidia stated it has no reason to believe national security or corporate secrets were compromised, and President Trump said Huang should remain CEO. The scandal has inspired viral jokes in multiple languages, including a "kiss cam" Coldplay-style meme and speculation about Secretary of State Marco Rubio succeeding Huang, with users humorously depicting him wearing Huang's signature black leather jacket.
