Writes Theodore Schleifer, in "Live Updates: Jensen Huang Resigns From Nvidia After Affairs/The longtime head of the chip-making colossus admitted to an affair with a woman identified as a spy for China. He was also said to have had a relationship with an executive who reported to him" (NYT).
And here's today's episode of the NYT "Daily" podcast, recorded before the resignation: "What Jensen Huang’s Potential Ouster Could Mean for A.I./ Nvidia’s board is considering firing Jensen Huang after revelations that he had affairs with an executive who reports to him and a woman who U.S. officials say is a Chinese spy."

So he's gone.
It appears to me that the political fallout from midterms is now moving to strip Trump of his allies, both inside and outside the White House. They want to destroy his next 2 years by isolating him.

Trump should have fewer corrupt allies and allies fucking Chinese spies and there will be less "fallout."
If he was banging a Chicom spy, was he really an ally?
If she was indeed a spy for China, it seems likely to me that the aim of the operation was not information or access to chips, but rather the downfall and elimination of an effective leader of western AI efforts. Everything was too public and too easily discoverable.
"It’s not the nature of the evidence; it’s the seriousness of the charge" things Rush might say.
He admitted ten advanced chips are in the possession of the Chinese manufacturer for which the spy acted as CEO. He appears to have admitted a violation of the export controls. I hope no one in Trump’s Whitehouse was involved in facilitating or allowing or overlooking any aspect of this technology leak.
Huang gone
Howard Lutnick was repeatedly warned about Megaspeed and the national security implications, yet reportedly did little to act. White House and intelligence officials had been pressing Commerce to intervene since fall 2025, according to Axios.
If Democrats are looking for an opportunity to hold this administration accountable, here it is. The national security implications alone warrant serious congressional scrutiny.

Apparently many people are unaware of China’s all out blitz to get their hands on the most advanced chips. This was not political or a romance. It was corporate espionage and succeeded. China has thousands of nationals here pursuing chips and the machinery capable of producing 4 namometer scale processors.
They have been unable to reverse engineer the chips because the Chinese tech is not precise enough. The West has an advantage. But the window is closing.
