What happened
Nvidia's board said it opened an investigation into Jensen Huang, citing recent reports that he was targeted by a foreign intelligence effort. On Sunday, Huang disclosed an extramarital affair. The New York Times says U.S. intelligence officials regard the woman involved as a spy for China's Ministry of State Security.
Market odds and trader bets
On Kalshi, traders assign a 17% chance that Huang is out by 2027, rising to 30% by 2028, 35% by 2029, and 75% by 2031. Kalshi resolves these contracts using information from Bloomberg. Meanwhile on Polymarket, the market implies roughly a 25% probability that Huang resigns or is removed by the end of March 2027, with outcomes determined by official statements from Nvidia or from Huang.
