> NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) Board of Directors announced today that Jensen Huang has resigned as President, Chief Executive Officer, and a member of the Board, effective immediately.

Jensen Huang gone as President, CEO, and a member of the Board of Nvidia, effective immediately.

The Nvidia coup operation has been completed. It is over.

rayiner•8m ago
You say this like it’s a bad thing.
ferguess_k•6m ago
Who are the insiders that arrange the coup?
cannonpalms•5m ago
Who is incentivized to mount such a coup, I wonder....? Could it be the nation accused of inserting a spy into his life?
Implicated•8m ago
Moving fast, I see.
hexad74•7m ago
What an incredibly embarrassing downfall.
ibaikov•7m ago
I don't like conspiracy theories but this doesn't smell right, something's off
knorker•5m ago
Right. Because men's genitals have never made them do stupid things and caused consequences to those actions.
officeplant•5m ago
It just smells like infidelity gone world wide news, and a little illegal GPU trade with china.
vrganj•5m ago
My read is that people in US gov knew about this for a while (cf https://www.nytimes.com/2026/11/10/us/politics/trump-china-t...), but Trump protected him (also note Jensen's ballroom donation in that context!).

Now, post-midterm, Trump's political power has waned considerably, so the knives came out.

jairuhme•5m ago
Are you serious? He had an affair not only with a direct report, but with a Chinese spy
jmkni•3m ago
When everyone was scaremongering last month about how AI was going to “destroy humanity” he was the only one talking sense and calling them out on their bullshit

This is clearly retaliation for not falling into line

proc0•7m ago
Because he cheated on his wife?? Or what am I missing? If that's the official reason, I don't buy it. I don't think those who can influence this decision give two shits about this type of morality. It's silly on its face. Obviously it's cover for some other agenda. I'm just surprised people buy this silly excuse instead of getting to the bottom of what is really happening.
sixo•6m ago
...with an actual spy.
dralley•6m ago
And a subordinate executive. And god knows who else.
stann•5m ago
allegedly?
HatchedLake721•5m ago
The board should've: "Fire you? We’ve just spent billions of our market cap educating you to be careful with spies. Why would we fire you?"
proc0•4m ago
Presumably he didn't know. I guess it's still a risk, but still seems like a strange reason. Maybe this is exactly what the spy was trying to do.

qsymmachus•6m ago
You know the industry has concentrated too much power into too few people when one person's midlife crisis can wipe ~$600 billion in market cap
epolanski•6m ago
Not sure about the people thinking he didn't do much wrong.

The point is that as CEO of a company you have a fiduciary duty to have the best interest of a company in your actions and behavior.

Having sex with your workers and chinese spies is obviously not the kind of behavior that reflects that.

And if companies did not fire their CEOs over such blatant missteps the wrong message would be sent to the whole corporate America.

It sucks because obviously Nvidia would be nowhere without Jensen, and it's not like he killed someone or committed fraud, but the mistakes have been huge none the less.

And don't forget that those are the two cases we know about, but when you see 2 ants in your kitchen there's always more.

And the internal investigation of Nvidia quickly assessed that the issue was bigger and Jensen was more of a liability than an asset.

officeplant•4m ago
>or committed fraud

We're just gonna keep shoving the illegal GPU trade with China under the rug I guess.

kilroy123•2m ago
I think he clearly did something wrong. It just doesn't seem that bad in comparison to the current shit our leaders do weekly. We're in an age of morally corrupt leadership across the board in the United States.
usrme•5m ago
What would the severance package be in a situation like this?
chrisweekly•4m ago
a guillotine
kphorn•3m ago
He resigns so he would forfeit much of contractual severance in most cases. A negotiated settlement is likely as part of the resignation and if he’s rehired elsewhere (eg at terafab or tsmc) it will generally terminate ongoing payments, healthcare, access to private aircraft and security.
skywal_l•5m ago
My understanding is that NVidia's organisation is very flat and Huang has his fingers in every pie; he's not the hands off type. Moreover there was no succession plan. I get that having an affair with a spy is not great but isn't it risky to replace him now?
sevenzero•4m ago
Nvidia will be just fine
manojlds•4m ago
But the original news was not what sealed the deal, it was the follow up.
dreadsword•3m ago
I'm going to guess the 2nd affair with a direct report who rose quickly through the ranks is from the board's perspective the more egregious of the two failings.

And: the public only knows what's made it out. Who knows what else has come out in private.

Guy sleeps with spy

Conspiracy reaction: Something is going on here... obviously not due to sleeping with a spy...

ksec•5m ago
I believe Jensen is still the largest individual shareholder for Nvidia.

Waiting to see how market reacts, I am selling my shares.

Dear Jensen, time to start another company.

liuliu•4m ago
At the point, the lesson is to have affairs big and early, so you are invincible to media-coordinated attacks. What a tragedy.

No, the alternative is not to “not having affairs”. Remember, we don’t need evidence to spin a narrative.

duplessitous•4m ago
I hope people understand that the affairs are not the reason he is being fired - NVIDIA has supposedly been skirting the export ban put in place by the previous administration. This was put in place for national security reasons. Whether you agree or disagree with the ban, it exists and Jensen&NVIDIA is in a world of trouble if this comes to light.

From all the reporting I've read, it is hard for me to avoid the conclusion that NVIDIA did purposefully ship chips to China despite the export ban. I'd love to be wrong

kilroy123•4m ago
I don't know, I just have a feeling he'll be back. Steve Jobs style.
Taek•4m ago
I have to imagine that Jensen is under an enormous amount of stress right now. I hope whatever he's going through he's got support. This all seems to be happening way too quickly to be just.

Like, maybe him stepping down is the right decision. But it feels like a hit job and something that was pushed through, rather than something that was properly considered as what is actually best for the company.

ASinclair•3m ago
Hopefully his wife has support. Jensen gets to reap what he sowed.
trvrprkr•2m ago
He's the chief architect of this. I hope the ones he's hurt along the way have support.
htrp•4m ago
coup brought to you by anthropic?
theandrewbailey•4m ago
Jensen might go down as being less like Jobs and more like Weinstein.
lenerdenator•3m ago
Someone of incredible wealth and influence suffering negative outcomes for something wrong that they did?

I'm not familiar with the thing I'm seeing.

Might call my financial advisor and ask him to buy some shares. They'll be lower, and the board has shown it can actually protect the interests of shareholders.

lvl256•3m ago
For all his faults, I do feel for Jensen. He built this thing from an absolute scratch. He had a lot of luck on the way, from crypto to CUDA. And who can forget his spat with Jobs all those years ago.
mynti•2m ago
I think this just confirms that he had knowledge of gpus going to China and the board wants to minimize the damage now. His infidelity does not help but I doubt the board would have ousted him for that
ferguess_k•2m ago
I guess no one wants an Emperor, and someone needs to teach the tech lords a lesson after mid-term, let's see how NVIDIA holds up.
staminade•3m ago
Sounds like you like them very much.

Cheated on his wife with a spy who was using her connection to Jensen to move GPUs into China through Singapore in breach of the export controls.

The cheating is just a bit of humiliation, the damning part is the knowingly circumvention of export controls.

proc0•2m ago
Oh if he knew all of that, then that's what I'm missing, thanks.
qsymmachus•4m ago
Nvidia bulls are still processing
conartist6•3m ago
No, it's because he repeatedly lied. 20% of the company's profits were/are coming from selling sanctioned chips to China and he said 0% 0% 0% (in official filings)

The news made it sound like she was a sophisticated person using him as a simpleton, but if anything he was using her to move his products against sanctions.

233mhz•3m ago
> Because he cheated on his wife??

And a lot of other shady things around nvidia, half of it we probably will never know about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H3xQaf7BFI

the impending investigation regarding the sanctions might have more to do with it, to be honest.
