WSJ: ‘Nvidia Is Preparing to Oust CEO Jensen Huang’

Robbie Whelan, Josh Dawsey, Amrith Ramkumar, reporting for The Wall Street Journal in the aftermath of the NYT’s scoop that Huang was having an affair with an Nvidia vice president too:

Nvidia’s board is preparing to oust CEO Jensen Huang after he had two extramarital affairs, including one with a suspected Chinese spy and another with an employee.

The board is planning to meet as soon as Wednesday to determine his future, people familiar with the matter said. His departure would bring down the curtain on an era during which he stoked the global artificial-intelligence boom and became a geopolitical star. It would leave one of the world’s most valuable companies in need of a new leader.

The WSJ report was filed at 7p ET Wednesday, so presumably “as soon as Wednesday” means tonight. I give it better than even odds that we wake up tomorrow and Huang is out.
