On November 12th, Beijing time, according to the Wall Street Journal, the board of directors of NVIDIA is preparing to dismiss the company's founder and CEO, Jensen Huang. Previously, Huang Renxun was exposed to have had two extramarital affairs.

Insiders have revealed that Nvidia's board of directors may hold a meeting as early as Wednesday to decide on the departure or stay of Huang Renxun.

As a co-founder of NVIDIA, Huang Renxun is regarded by many as a representative figure in the AI arms race. He is known for his iconic leather jacket and almost year-round travels to conferences and events around the world. He always delivers speeches with the confidence of a salesman, as if he holds what the world wants in his hands, and this is indeed the case. NVIDIA provides GPUs for AI. Many people believe that these components are driving the next industrial revolution.

But last Sunday, Huang Renxun admitted in a letter to employees that he was unfaithful to his wife and apologized for betraying their trust.

To make matters worse, Huang Renxun has had more than one extramarital affair. The New York Times reported earlier that Huang Renxun also had a second extramarital affair with Kimberly Powell, Vice President of Nvidia's healthcare business.

The Wall Street Journal also quoted insiders as saying that Huang Renxun had an extramarital affair with a company employee. (Author/Xiao Yu)
