Jensen Huang has discussed a potential comeback as Nvidia CEO with confidants, according to Techmeme. This comes as allies form a "war room" to lobby for his return and seek support from the White House, following his resignation after an affair with an alleged Chinese spy. Le Monde English reports that public attention has been captivated by claims that the Nvidia co-founder was seduced by a spy.

Meanwhile, CBS News reports that Representative Jim Himes stated it remains unclear if there is an investigation into the affair.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Fox News that Nvidia needs to look outside the company for a new chief executive. Reported candidates being considered by the board include Arm CEO Rene Haas, AMD CEO Lisa Su, Amazon Web Services CEO Matt Garman, and two Israelis: Apple's chief hardware officer Johny Srouji and former Mellanox CEO Eyal Waldman.

Jerusalem Post Tech & Start-Ups notes that Calcalist cited Srouji's experience in Apple's silicon strategy as an advantage, though some argue his recent promotion to chief hardware officer is a drawback. Additionally, President Donald Trump suggested that former Apple CEO Tim Cook should lead Nvidia.
