# Nvidia Board Weighs CEO Ouster After Affair

November 12, 2026 at 12:27 PM

> Nvidia's board considers removing CEO Jensen Huang following affair admissions, sparking stock drops and industry support from Tim Sweeney.

Nvidia's board of directors met Wednesday to discuss the potential removal of CEO Jensen Huang following his admission of an affair. The leadership crisis deepened amid suspicions of a second affair involving an executive, causing a 6.3% premarket stock drop.

Industry leaders are reacting to the news, with Epic CEO Tim Sweeney launching a 'Save Jensen' campaign on X. Sweeney compared the situation to Apple firing Steve Jobs, praising Huang as a visionary who drove technology from gaming GPUs to AI supercomputers.

The outcome of these board deliberations remains critical for Nvidia's market stability and future innovation. While shares have already decreased, Elon Musk has publicly stated on X that it would be an honor to hire Huang if he is ousted from the company.
