Jensen Huang admitted to an extramarital affair with Alice Huang, a former executive at Nvidia business partner Megaspeed. US authorities reportedly suspected her of working for Chinese intelligence, but Reuters says it has not independently verified that allegation. Jensen resigned as Nvidia CEO on Thursday. Reuters now reports he misled Nvidia executives about the relationship, describing their contact as ordinary business dealings. The timing of when the affair became intimate remains unclear.
Then comes the Israel angle. The Washington Post identified roughly 400 accounts that promoted Nvidia and defended Jensen online. Some had previously been linked by an Israeli newspaper investigation to a PR firm called Koios. That does not establish that Israel orchestrated the campaign. Nor is there evidence Israel is taking control of Nvidia. The company’s interim CEO is longtime CFO Colette Kress, and its board says it will conduct a search for a permanent replacement. Israeli executives have been mentioned in media speculation about possible successors, but that is a long way from an Israeli takeover.
