Nvidia's board is preparing to remove founder and CEO Jensen Huang as an internal review and multiple investigations probe his reported extramarital relationships, sources told The Wall Street Journal and Reuters. U.S. intelligence officials have concluded that one of the women, Alice Huang, a former Megaspeed executive, spied for China and that Megaspeed allegedly routed advanced Nvidia chips to Chinese users; the Commerce Department referred its inquiry to the Justice Department's National Security Division. The Justice Department has opened a separate investigation and there are bipartisan calls for congressional inquiries on Capitol Hill. Nvidia has said it sees "no reason to believe" national security or company secrets were compromised and that Huang will remain in charge while cooperating with the review. President Donald Trump acknowledged speaking with Huang and said Huang told him he had "absolutely no idea" the woman was a spy, and Trump said he thought Huang "will be in good shape." The New York Times reported additional allegations that Huang had a second affair with an executive who reports to him, intensifying board and regulatory scrutiny and raising immediate questions about Nvidia's leadership and export controls for AI chips.
