  "summary": "Nvidia has appointed CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO following the resignation of Jensen Huang on Thursday. Huang's departure follows his confession to having an affair with a chip executive identified by U.S. intelligence as a suspected Chinese spy, though other news reports have suggested he engaged in multiple extramarital affairs. According to the New York Post, company insiders claimed Huang was prone to wild office tantrums, a fact some employees reportedly found surprising had not leaked prior to his downfall.\n\nA petition to reinstate Huang has gathered more than 115,000 signatures, including thousands of current and former employees and shareholders. Supporters of the petition, which includes Elon Musk, Amjad Masad, and Tim Sweeney, claim Huang was removed without meaningful due process. On X, Elon Musk stated that Nvidia would lose critical deals without Huang, noting that many deals were based on handshakes with him rather than written contracts.\n\nFollowing the resignation, Nvidia's stock fell 2% on Friday. Two investors holding approximately $2.13 billion in stock are calling for a deliberate leadership search. While global markets monitor the business implications of the leadership change, SCMP Tech reports a debate among Asian-Americans regarding whether race played a role in Huang's downfall.",
