Nvidia board launches independent probe, says no evidence Jensen leaked secrets
GavinSBaker · x · 2026-11-09
Nvidia's board said it found "no reason to believe" national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised by Jensen Huang's actions, but is initiating an independent investigation overseen by independent directors with outside counsel.
Investor Gavin Baker frames Huang's stance — America should have "the first, the most and the best" GPUs while supplying weaker versions to China — as optimal defense policy: it slows a Huawei-led AI hardware ecosystem, allows non-military Chinese labs cloud access in Southeast Asia, and preserves a kill switch in case of hostilities.
