Polymarket odds of Jensen Huang exit hit 46% as Nvidia board probes alleged affairs
Polymarket · x · 2026-11-12
Polymarket's contract on Jensen Huang announcing resignation or removal has surged to 46% ($1.38M+ volume).
The catalyst: five former Nvidia employees allege Huang had a second extramarital affair, this time with a senior executive, following earlier claims of a relationship with an executive at a major customer whom U.S. intelligence assessed as a Chinese intelligence asset. Nvidia's board launched an independent investigation, retaining Wachtell Lipton, and shares fell sharply on national-security and extortion concerns.
Sen. Kevin Cramer has called on Huang to step down, though President Trump publicly defended him and the board says no evidence suggests compromised secrets or IP. Huang's central role in AI chip strategy and the lack of a clear successor heighten succession uncertainty.
