Jensen Huang has resigned all his positions at Nvidia, effective immediately

Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, has resigned from all his positions at the company, effective immediately. His resignation comes after a major scandal involving allegations of affairs with a suspected Chinese intelligence asset and an Nvidia employee. The scandal escalated following a New York Times report last week, leading to an emergency board meeting where Huang apologized for the affair and invited national security and foreign affairs officials to discuss the matter.

Huang's resignation has been welcomed by many, including Tim Sweeney, who called it an "Apple firing Steve Jobs level of idiocy." The company has appointed Harvey C. Jones as the first chair of the board of directors, while Colette Kress serves as interim CEO until a permanent replacement is found.
