• Analysis: Jensen Huang built an AI kingdom. Now he’s gone, will Nvidia’s ramparts be breached?

One of Donald Trump’s top lieutenants reportedly could soon be fired, as criticism mounts over commerce secretary Howard Lutnick’s apparent lack of action over the Nvidia spying scandal.

Jensen Huang resigned from Nvidia on Thursday, and was replaced on an interim basis by chief financial officer, Colette Kress, after reports emerged of his multiple affairs, most importantly with Alice Huang (no relation), who is suspected of being a Chinese spy.
