Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is facing significant pressure following reports of a relationship with Alice Huang, a former executive of a company allegedly involved in diverting restricted AI chips to China. The revelations have triggered an internal investigation by Nvidia's independent directors, an FBI investigation, and calls for his resignation from members of Congress, including Senator Kevin Cramer. The controversy stems from reports that Megaspeed International, a Singapore-based firm, may have helped China evade U.S. export controls, a claim first highlighted in a May report by short-selling firm Culper Research. In the wake of these reports, Nvidia's market valuation dropped by $450 billion over two days.
