Senators seek Nvidia records on China chip sales and CEO's alleged affair
Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren and Chris Coons have asked the Trump administration to preserve records on Nvidia's China chip sales and CEO Jensen Huang's alleged affair with a woman suspected of Chinese intelligence ties, per a Wall Street Journal report. The letter follows Huang's acknowledgment of the relationship with Alice Huang, founder of Megaspeed International, and his discussions with employees this week. Lawmakers question whether the affair compromised national security or influenced US decisions on advanced AI chip exports to China. Nvidia's board has launched an investigation into the matter. Tesla CEO Elon Musk responded to a social media suggestion to hire Huang, writing, "That would be an honour."
