‘Broken and shattered’ Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang surrendered during resignation meeting, report claims

Former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has reportedly described himself as "a piece of sh**" after leaving the company he built over 33 years. Bloomberg claims the co-founder, known for his energetic and outgoing demeanor, appeared "broken and shattered" during the board meeting where he resigned from the AI hardware firm. He admitted to at least one extra-marital affair, including one with an individual suspected of being a Chinese spy.

Despite his resignation and the controversies surrounding him, Nvidia employees continue to rally behind him, with thousands of comments expressing support for the disgraced leader. Employees maintain that Nvidia is successful because of Huang, even as calls for his reinstatement have drawn over 1,600 comments on the company's internal forums.

Internal investigations revealed multiple affairs, including one with a subordinate, which ultimately led to his resignation.
