Elon Musk, Bill Ackman, Sean Maguire of Sequoia Capital, and U.S. President Donald Trump are standing by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang following the exposure of his ties to a Chinese businesswoman suspected of spying for Beijing. Nvidia's board has opened an independent investigation to examine whether Huang was the target of a foreign intelligence operation. Huang admitted in a letter to employees that he was not faithful to his wife and apologized. The company emphasized that there is no reason to believe trade secrets or national security were compromised. Musk expressed support, arguing that Huang is irreplaceable in the AI race. Ackman called for supporting Huang and his family but stressed that if it is more than an affair, it is a serious problem. Trump said Huang is "a decent man" and that his explanations should be heard before conclusions are drawn. China denied the espionage allegations.
