Story summary

Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, admitted to having an extramarital affair with a suspected Chinese spy, leading to a significant drop in Nvidia's stock prices by 8%. The company’s board has launched an independent investigation, assisted by outside legal counsel, to look into allegations that Huang was targeted by a foreign intelligence operation. This comes after reports from The New York Times and Financial Times about the relationship between Huang and Alice Huan, who is an executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed. President Trump publicly backed Huang, stating that he had no idea of the spy allegations against his partner. The affair has raised concerns over potential security breaches involving Nvidia's advanced AI technology.
