Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admits affair; board launches independent probe

techNov 8, 20268010,943

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang acknowledged an extramarital relationship with a business executive that U.S. officials have determined was a suspected Chinese spy, and the company’s board has ordered an independent investigation. Huang wrote in a draft email obtained by Axios, "I owe my family and all of you an apology," saying he was unfaithful and expressing remorse for hurting his family. CNN and other outlets report Nvidia announced Sunday that the board is launching an independent probe focused on foreign intelligence concerns tied to the relationship. U.S. officials' determination that the executive was a suspected Chinese intelligence agent is the central national security concern driving the board action. The investigation places Nvidia at the intersection of corporate governance and U.S. national security scrutiny, and it will determine whether any sensitive information was compromised and whether further regulatory or law enforcement steps follow.

🚨 NEW: Trump was reportedly warned about Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s relationship with an alleged Chinese spy — and did NOTHING. Marco Rubio oversaw a classified memo warning top officials. Yet Trump continued embracing Huang as the CEO pushed to loosen restrictions on AI chip sales to China.

Email from Jensen Huang. He should be removed by the board immediately.

Part of what's nice about Jensen Huang's story, like a lot of dipshit billionaire stories, is: billionaires can literally buy smart people to prevent their dipshittery. For a couple mil a year you can have a team of them do nothing but look out for you. But they're too arrogant and stupid to do it!
