The Jensen defenders are seizing on Alice Huang uncertainty

• Jensen Huang resigned as Nvidia CEO after admitting an affair with Alice Huang, probed over China spy ties • Allies including Musk, Sacks, and Nvidia staff push for his reinstatement; spy evidence remains unproven • Alice Huang's firm, Megaspeed, faces separate scrutiny over diverted Nvidia chips to China Jensen Huang resigned as Nvidia CEO Thursday after reports surfaced of an affair with Megaspeed executive Alice Huang, who some US officials suspect of acting as a Chinese intelligence asset. A CNN report said the evidence doesn't yet prove she was spying, and officials remain divided on its strength; China denies the allegations. Attorney General Todd Blanche said no conclusions have been reached about Alice Huang, and the DOJ is still investigating. President Trump said whether Huang should have resigned depends on whether she's eventually confirmed as a spy. The uncertainty has rallied Huang's defenders. Elon Musk backed a petition to reinstate him; investor Gavin Baker argued Nvidia's board acted before its own investigation concluded; David Sacks said the "spy narrative is collapsing"; and Tim Sweeney raised governance concerns. Over 1,600 comments on an internal Nvidia suggestion-box post reportedly called for his return. Not everyone agrees. Jim Cramer criticized defenders for overlooking reports of two other alleged affairs with Nvidia subordinates, including the company's VP of healthcare. Separately, Megaspeed—Alice Huang's former employer—is under US scrutiny for allegedly helping divert restricted Nvidia chips to Chinese customers, which it denies. Singapore barred her reentry after finding she gave police inaccurate information, and Bloomberg reported a company she founded obtained smuggled chips later installed at a Shanghai data center tied to Megaspeed.
