Nvidia's board is reportedly preparing to dismiss CEO Jensen Huang following revelations of a second alleged extramarital affair, this time with an executive who reports directly to him. This development intensifies the pressure on Huang, who is already under scrutiny for a separate alleged affair with a woman identified as a suspected Chinese spy.
The latest claims have sent Nvidia's stock tumbling, with shares falling more than 8 percent in after-hours trading. The FBI is reportedly investigating the situation, and the company has hired a prominent U.S. law firm to conduct an independent investigation into Huang's relationships.
Earlier in the week, reports surfaced detailing internal clashes within the Trump administration regarding restrictions on advanced chip sales to a firm linked to the woman at the center of the spy allegations. While some in Silicon Valley, including Elon Musk, publicly supported Huang, framing the alleged affair as a personal matter, concerns have been raised within the U.S. intelligence community about potential facilitation of China's access to advanced AI technology.
