Jensen Huang’s future as Nvidia’s chief executive is in jeopardy as the chipmaking giant’s board weighs removing its billionaire founder amid revelations of two alleged extramarital affairs, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.

The potential shake-up marks a sharp reversal for Nvidia’s board, which publicly backed Huang just days earlier while launching an independent investigation into his relationship with a Chinese businesswoman suspected of working for Beijing’s intelligence services.
