  "account": "Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted to cheating on his wife with a suspected Chinese spy, causing shares of the chipmaker to plummet eight percent upon the market's reopening on Monday. However, the stock later rebounded to a loss of around four percent. The scandal has left investors rattled and concerned that Huang might lose control of one of the world's most valuable companies. Huang holds a 3.6 percent stake in Nvidia, making him the fifth-largest shareholder, but he has wielded significant control over the company, with many executives reporting directly to him. The timing of the revelation was particularly damaging, as the AI industry already faces a PR challenge and struggles to convince the public of the benefits of its technology. Tech billionaires, including Elon Musk, have defended Huang, while President Donald Trump tried to downplay the severity of the affair.",
