The scandal engulfing Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has just taken another explosive turn.
The board of the artificial intelligence chipmaking giant is reportedly preparing to remove its billionaire founder and chief executive after revelations of TWO alleged extramarital affairs, including one with a woman suspected by U.S. intelligence officials of working for Communist China and another with a senior Nvidia executive who reported directly to him.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Nvidia’s board could meet as early as November 11 to determine Huang’s future at the company he co-founded more than three decades ago.
The report cites people familiar with the matter. No final decision to remove Huang has been publicly confirmed
The latest bombshell follows reporting from The New York Times alleging that Huang had an extramarital relationship with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice president of healthcare, who reported directly to the CEO.
According to Reuters, which independently summarized the Times investigation, the allegations were based on accounts from five people who worked at Nvidia.
As The Gateway Pundit reported on November 8, Huang admitted to being unfaithful to his wife following revelations about his relationship with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based technology company Megaspeed.
Alice Huang, who is not related to the Nvidia CEO, was identified in earlier reporting as a suspected Chinese intelligence operative.
U.S. intelligence officials reportedly believed she had been gathering information for Beijing, raising troubling concerns about the vulnerability of America’s most valuable AI chipmaker.
China has denied the espionage allegations, and no public evidence has established that Jensen Huang knowingly assisted a foreign intelligence operation.
The Gateway Pundit’s Ben Kew previously reported:
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has admitted to having an extramarital affair with a woman accused by U.S. intelligence officials of spying for the Chinese government.
The earlier revelations prompted Nvidia’s board to announce an independent investigation on November 8.
In its official statement, the company acknowledged that the investigation would examine reports that Huang had been targeted by a foreign intelligence operation.
The board emphasized that it had no reason to believe national security or Nvidia’s proprietary information had been compromised.
At the time, the directors publicly expressed confidence in Huang and his leadership team.
Now, just three days later, the Wall Street Journal reports that those same directors are preparing to consider his removal.
