Der SPIEGEL reports that Nvidia’s board was expected to meet on Wednesday local time to discuss Jensen Huang’s future, citing reports by The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. The Wall Street Journal based its report on people familiar with the matter, according to Der SPIEGEL.
That reported meeting has made Nvidia’s leadership a live governance issue. It is not, on the evidence supplied, a board decision to remove Huang. Nvidia had not responded to a request for comment on Wednesday, Der SPIEGEL reported.
Der SPIEGEL linked the reports to allegations about Huang’s private relationships and a possible security dimension. Those allegations should remain attributed to the reporting: the supplied material contains no public evidence establishing them.
Nvidia had previously said Huang would continue to lead the company without interruption, according to Der SPIEGEL. A board discussion would therefore signal a sharp change in the pressure around Nvidia’s leadership, but the supplied reporting does not disclose whether the meeting took place or what the board decided.
Der SPIEGEL also reported that Nvidia shares fell about 8 percent in after-hours trading. The move shows how sensitive investors were to the reports; the available material does not establish a single cause for the decline. For a company central to the market for chips used to train AI models, the reported discussion carries consequences beyond an ordinary executive succession question.
