Jensen Huang resigns as Nvidia CEO; Chinese X users post questioning the timing of the affair and spy allegations

Nvidia announced on November 12 that Jensen Huang had resigned as president, CEO and director, effective immediately, and that CFO Colette Kress would serve as interim CEO, with the search for a successor considering both internal and external candidates. Previously, on November 8, Jensen Huang admitted in an internal message to employees to being unfaithful to his wife; Reuters reported that the person involved was Alice Huang (Huang Le), a former executive of Nvidia business partner Megaspeed International, a Singapore company. The New York Times reported that U.S. intelligence officials suspect Alice Huang of ties to China's Ministry of State Security and of suspected involvement in helping evade U.S. export controls on advanced chips, but Reuters said it could not verify whether she worked for the Chinese government, and Beijing called the allegation baseless smear. Chinese X users questioned the timing of the scandal's emergence and speculated whether someone deliberately pushed him out; the article emphasized that the spy allegation, the affair and timing speculation should be viewed separately and cannot serve as evidence of a proven conspiracy.
