Nvidia is launching an internal investigation following revelations about CEO Jensen Huang's extramarital affair. Reports suggest the woman involved may be a suspected Chinese spy, prompting concerns about potential intelligence targeting. Huang admitted to the affair in a brief memo to employees, sparking discussions about corporate governance and security risks.
US President Donald Trump publicly defended Huang, calling him a “fine person” and expressing support for his continued leadership at Nvidia. The controversy has already impacted the company's stock, with shares dropping about 3.7% on Robinhood’s trading platform over the weekend.
The investigation aims to determine whether Huang was specifically targeted by foreign intelligence, raising broader questions about corporate espionage and executive conduct in the tech industry.
