Following the resignation of CEO Jensen Huang due to extramarital scandals and suspected involvement in export control violations, NVIDIA has appointed former CFO Colette Kress as interim leader while board chair Harvey Jones oversees a search for a permanent successor. The company's market capitalization stabilized after an initial 14% drop, even as analysts question the sustainability of its massive AI investments under new financial scrutiny and potential congressional investigations. Concurrently, the crisis has rattled global equity markets and sparked speculation about a historic merger between SpaceX and Tesla, while broader geopolitical tensions over AI chip exports continue to intensify.
