What's behind this
Nvidia opened an investigation after allegations that CEO Jensen Huang had an affair with a woman suspected of working for Chinese intelligence, raising national‑security and trade concerns. President Donald Trump defended Huang, while Democratic lawmakers called for a halt to advanced AI chip exports to China. A California lawsuit claims Nvidia and Huang failed to disclose to shareholders his links to the woman who allegedly passed critical information to Beijing. The probe coincided with a drop of more than five percent in Nvidia’s share price and allowed Microsoft to overtake it as the world’s second‑most valuable company. Details of the alleged relationship, the evidence and the investigation’s outcome remain unclear.
