Nvidia firing CEO Jensen Huang "would be an Apple firing Steve Jobs level of idiocy," Epic boss says

Amid reports that Nvidia is considering ousting CEO Jensen Huang after allegations of a second affair have hit the news, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney has stepped in to defend the man who admitted to being unfaithful to his wife, going as far as to say it would be "a grievous harm to the United States of America."

The situation at Nvidia has only gotten worse since Huang publicly apologized for an affair earlier this week. It's now been claimed that he was engaging in a second affair – this one apparently being with one of his employees, Nvidia's vice president of healthcare, Kimberly Powell. It seems as though it might all be getting a bit much for Nvidia, as it's now been reported that the company's board is meeting to decide whether to oust Huang – the only CEO the tech giant has had since its inception 33 years ago.

From the outside, the situation doesn't look good for Huang – one tech industry insider told the BBC that "he's cooked" – but Epic Games boss Sweeney doesn't agree that he should be fired. In fact, he's taken to Twitter, calling for "save Jensen."

In response to a report covering Nvidia's apparent contemplation of Huang's future, Sweeney says: "This would be an Apple firing Steve Jobs level of idiocy from NVIDIA's board if they did that, and a grievous harm to the United States of America."

The dude truly is the visionary driver of the future of tech from the gaming GPU era to CUDA to AI supercomputers.
