Jensen Huang Resigns as Nvidia CEO Amid National Security and Espionage Allegations
Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang has resigned following allegations of an affair with Alice Huang, an executive at Singaporean firm Megaspeed who is suspected of being a Chinese spy. The scandal has triggered intense political scrutiny in Washington, as lawmakers investigate whether the relationship compromised U.S. artificial intelligence dominance and national security. Republican leaders have summoned Huang to testify, threatening subpoenas if he does not comply. The investigation extends to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick regarding his handling of chip export controls to China. Additionally, the Department of Justice has taken over an investigation into Megaspeed for allegedly smuggling restricted chips to China, heightening regulatory risks for Nvidia.
