BREAKING: Nvidia's board is reportedly preparing to oust founder and CEO Jensen Huang — and no decision has been announced yet. Here's what we know, what we don't, and what happens next.Takeaways:1. The Wall Street Journal reports Nvidia's board is preparing to remove Jensen Huang as CEO, with directors able to meet as soon as Wednesday, November 11. Reuters and the Financial Times confirm urgent talks; Bloomberg says the board is already working with an outside firm on CEO candidates.2. This follows Huang's November 8 admission of two extramarital affairs — one with a woman U.S. intelligence officials suspect of spying for China, and a second, reported by The New York Times, with Nvidia executive Kimberly Powell. The board opened an independent investigation on November 8.3. Nvidia shares fell roughly 8 to 9 percent in after-hours trading. Huang co-founded Nvidia in 1993 and there is no public succession plan — so what the board does next matters for gaming, AI, and the entire tech world.Hosted by The Nerd Senpaii for The Nerds List Daily.
