The big questions after the scandal surrounding Nvidia

What began with reports of an affair has evolved into a matter of national security. Nvidia's board has launched an investigation into CEO Jensen Huang following revelations about his relationship with businesswoman Alice Huang, who US sources say is suspected of having links to Chinese intelligence.

Jensen Huang has admitted the infidelity in an email to the company's employees, but has not singled out the woman.

- If he falls for the coup, what will be left for steering power in Nvidia then? And what steam power is left in the AI ​​locomotive? What could it mean for a possible stock market crash later on?

These are the big questions, according to SVT's economic commentator Alexander Norén.

Details: Trump knew about the infidelity

At the same time, US President Donald Trump is said to have known about the deal already in the fall of 2025, according to sources to the New York Times. He chose not to do anything, among other things, so as not to hurt Nvidia's sales, according to the newspaper's information.

When the company now begins its own investigation, questions are raised about what information may have been at stake - or whether there was another agenda.

- One purpose could be to influence the world view of him. But also hearing talk about how advanced stuff they have and what's next. What will be able to be sold to China or what Trump can put an end to, says Norén.

- The company and Jensen Huang are a key player in the geopolitical power struggle between the US and China to be at the forefront of the AI ​​journey, he adds.
