Nvidia is preparing to oust CEO Jensen Huang, WSJ reports

The Wall Street Journal has reported that Nvidia's board is preparing to remove CEO Jensen Huang due to his involvement in two extramarital affairs. One of these affairs was with a woman whom U.S. intelligence suspects to be a Chinese spy. The board is set to convene as early as Wednesday to deliberate on his future. Earlier, the New York Times had revealed that Huang had an affair with Nvidia's vice president of healthcare, Kimberly Powell, a company executive who reported to him.

Huang had acknowledged being unfaithful to his wife, prompting Nvidia's board to investigate if he was the target of a foreign intelligence operation. This latest disclosure intensifies a controversy that has drawn attention from lawmakers, investors, and the board itself over Huang's actions and his relationship with Alice Huang, a woman claimed by U.S. intelligence to be a spy.
