Jensen Huang's image collapses; will he be replaced at Nvidia?

Jensen Huang admitted an extramarital affair in a letter to employees, and Nvidia's board has launched an independent investigation into his relationship with Alice Huang, an executive at Singapore data center company Megaspeed. Previously, The New York Times reported that U.S. officials, suspecting Jensen Huang of smuggling U.S. chips to China, were monitoring Alice Huang and during the surveillance concluded she was a Chinese intelligence officer and was close to Jensen Huang. After the news was announced, Nvidia's stock opened down 7.5%, wiping out more than $330 billion in market value. Analyst Dan Ives said that depending on the board investigation's findings, Jensen Huang could potentially be replaced, and that his children holding key positions at the company also complicates the board's decision-making. Nvidia's board said it does not believe national security or company secrets were compromised, but will review all available information.
