  "account": "On Wednesday, Nvidia shares experienced a significant drop following reports that the company's board was considering removing CEO Jensen Huang, according to German news agency dpa. Earlier in the week, Nvidia disclosed an investigation into allegations that Huang had become the subject of foreign intelligence efforts, following media reports suggesting he had been involved in an extramarital affair with a woman believed to be under the influence of the Chinese secret service. Huang himself confirmed the affair in an email to Nvidia employees. The Wall Street Journal, citing anonymous sources, reported that the Nvidia board might convene to discuss Huang's future. The New York Times also published a report on Wednesday, alleging another affair Huang had with a staff member who reported to him. Both sources stated that Huang and Nvidia initially ignored press inquiries. In after-hours trading, Nvidia's shares plummeted by as much as 9 percent, marking the lowest point for the stock since mid-2025. As a leading player in the artificial intelligence boom, Nvidia's chips are pivotal in data centers for AI training and operations. CEO Huang has become synonymous with the AI revolution, frequently promoting its transformative impact during company presentations and public engagements.",
