Nvidia Board Prepares to Oust CEO Jensen Huang, WSJ Reports

In an exclusive report, The Wall Street Journal says Nvidia's board is preparing to remove founder and CEO Jensen Huang, and could meet as soon as that same day. Citing an internal company investigation, the report attributes the move to Huang's extramarital affair, one of which allegedly involved a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy. The news has shaken the entire AI industry, but Nvidia has issued no official confirmation, and the veracity of the leak still needs to be verified by authoritative sources.

Confirmed

• WSJ reporters published an exclusive claiming Nvidia's board is taking action to remove Huang; multiple accounts including Polymarket, Hesamation, and kimmonismus relayed the report, which says the board could convene as early as that day
• According to the report, the removal motion stems from an internal investigation tied to Huang's extramarital affair, one relationship involving a woman alleged to be a Chinese spy (both kimmonismus and Hesamation relayed this detail)

Not yet confirmed

• As of this post, Nvidia has issued no official statement on the matter
• Some bloggers openly question the leak's credibility: ChrisUniverse mockingly reposted Watcher.Guru's retelling, arguing that "Jensen Huang fired" is so abnormal it's more likely a misreport or clickbait, and recommended waiting for confirmation from authoritative channels

Why it matters

• Huang is Nvidia's founder and a central figure in the global AI compute industry; if the ouster is real, it would directly reshape the entire AI landscape. kimmonismus called it "a bitter day" with the caption "China wins," Gary Marcus also reposted with comment, and Hesamation dubbed it the biggest event of 2026
• The incident involves geopolitically sensitive elements (the "Chinese spy" allegation), and its fallout is worth closely tracking. Everything should be judged by official statements and WSJ follow-up reporting
