  "account": "Nvidia reportedly contemplates removing CEO Jensen Huang following claims of an affair with a colleague, according to Reuters. The controversy arises from Huang's alleged romantic involvement with Alice Huang, a Chinese national suspected of espionage, as investigated by U.S. authorities. On November 8, Huang acknowledged an affair in an email to employees, raising further questions. Reports suggest additional allegations of a second affair involving Huang and Nvidia's vice-president of healthcare, Kimberly Powell. The Wall Street Journal cites Nvidia's board planning a meeting on November 11 to decide Huang's future, while Bloomberg mentions the company's engagement with an external firm to find a replacement. In the interim, forming a temporary CEO is reportedly being considered. The scandal took a financial toll, with Nvidia's shares dropping around eight percent after hours, following a recent decline after the first affair was disclosed.",
  "summary": "A meeting may be held as soon as Nov. 11.",
