[FoxBusinessNews] Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned Thursday after an internal investigation into his relationship with an alleged Chinese spy, the company announced.

Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress will serve as interim CEO while Nvidia searches for a permanent successor, the company said, according to Reuters. Nvidia also named former Synopsys CEO and board member Harvey Jones as its first-ever board chairman. Huang will leave the company's board as well.

The probe, which is being overseen by outside independent counsel and a committee of independent directors, followed a media report that Huang had a close relationship with a Chinese businesswoman who allegedly passed information to Beijing.

Huang, in a statement on Nov. 8, apologized for being unfaithful to his wife. He did not elaborate on the relationship.

"My actions hurt her and our children," he said. "There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry."

China has rejected allegations of a spying operation targeting the Nvidia CEO, dismissing reports of a suspected Chinese intelligence plot as a smear campaign against Beijing.

Nvidia has grown to become the second-largest publicly traded U.S. company by market cap on the strength of its dominance of the AI chip market. Estimates suggest Nvidia's market share in the highly sought-after AI chips is at least 80%, with demand for the semiconductors used to train AI models continuing to rise.

Nvidia was founded in 1993 by a trio of electrical engineers – Huang, Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem – who hatched their plan at a Denny's restaurant in California's Bay Area.

Its initial focus was on making 3D graphics available for video games and multimedia. They viewed the gaming market in particular as a favorable opportunity to both generate revenue and tackle challenging computational problems that could propel future growth.

Huang had led Nvidia since its founding, overseeing its transformation from a graphics chipmaker into a dominant supplier of processors powering the artificial intelligence boom.

1 Musk says it would be 'an honor' to hire Nvidia's embattled Jensen Huang

2 Musk that statement alone should ban you from any further sensitive IP and national interest projects. Huang has proven to be a piece of shit and should be shunned by the rest of the industry.

3 Woman involved with Jenson is Alice Huang (no relationship to Jenson) worked for Megaspeed. This company has offices in Singapore. The company offices there have been vacant for a few months.

This leads to the conclusion that it could be a CCP Honey trap operation.

4 Takeaway: If you're in business and you get caught diddling a spy, you're out. If you're in Congress... nada.

6 Anyone notice how suddenly the media focus has changed? Today's headlines are filled with stories of Jensen Huang's infidelity and resignation. President Trump now weighs in saying 'there is only one man' to replace Jensen Huang as Nvidia CEO, Apple CEO Tim Cook. With all due respect, are there not more pressing issues than big tech CEO selections facing our President ?

Discussion centered around the actual damage to national security is barely mentioned. Equally 'unmentioned' are the government agencies whose job it is to protect us from such espionage.

What did 'they' (the responsible agencies) know and when did they know it? Could there have been a discreet word given Jensen Huang, a caution? If not, why not ?

Also not frequently mentioned in the media is the US Commerce Department approval Nvidia chip sales to Chinese companies that were nonexistent, sanctioned, or linked to China’s military. How could this possibly happen in a modern, AI capable society ?

The smell intensifies. Perhaps your focus is not diverted by the... 'look squirrel' as intended.

8 President Trump now weighs in saying 'there is only one man' to replace Jensen Huang as Nvidia CEO, Apple CEO Tim Cook.

You mean the Tim Cook who is in bed with the CCP? The guy who had iPhones manufactured at the notorious Foxconn factory where slave laborers were so badly treated they had to deploy nets under the dormitory window to keep them from jumping to their death? That Tim Cook?
