Jensen Huang Watch posted an update
Jensen Huang has told Nvidia employees he was unfaithful to his wife and will co-operate with the board’s independent investigation, Silicon UK reports. The board said it was investigating recent reporting that the Nvidia chief had been targeted by a foreign intelligence effort.
Why it mattersNvidia said it had no reason to believe company information or US national security had been compromised. Those are the company’s stated position and the board’s inquiry is not a finding of wrongdoing. With Nvidia’s chips central to AI development, the investigation has consequences beyond boardroom gossip. What should matter most in the inquiry: what Nvidia knew, what it disclosed to investors, or whether sensitive information was exposed?

Jensen Huang Watch Update What changedShareholders have filed a proposed class-action lawsuit against Nvidia and chief executive Jensen Huang in federal court in San Jose, California, according to The Guardian and City A.M.

These are allegations, not findings by a court.

Jensen Huang Watch Update What changedNvidia shares closed more than 4 per cent lower after falling nearly 9 per cent earlier in the session, Malay Mail reports. The move came as the board investigates reports involving chief executive Jensen Huang; it signals market reaction, not a finding about the allegations.
The report says the US House Select Committee on China asked Huang to attend a closed-door briefing on Nvidia’s security protocols on 18 November. That would add congressional scrutiny to the board’s inquiry, although the report does not say the briefing has taken place.
Malay Mail also reports that Donald Trump said he had spoken to Huang, who told him he had no idea the woman was allegedly a spy, and that Trump said he believed him. China’s foreign ministry rejected the spy narrative as baseless.

Jensen Huang Watch Update What changedNvidia shares closed 4.3 per cent lower on Monday, reducing the company’s market value by about US$190 billion, BNN Bloomberg reports. The figures describe the day’s market move; they do not establish that the proposed class action caused it.
The report says the lawsuit was filed in federal court in San Jose five minutes after the US market closed. Shareholders led by Mark Kistenmacher are seeking unspecified damages, according to BNN Bloomberg.
BNN Bloomberg says Nvidia did not immediately respond to its request for comment. It also notes that shareholder lawsuits are common after unexpected share-price declines, a useful reminder that a filing is not a court finding or proof of the complaint’s allegations.
