On Thursday morning,<\/span> Nvidia announced that Jensen Huang had resigned from the company<\/a> that had become, in many ways, synonymous with its chief executive.<\/p>\n

Less than an hour later, when the markets opened, Nvidia\u2019s stock had lost roughly $546 billion in market value. Though it has rebounded somewhat, the last weeks of scandal\u2014including a reported second affair<\/a> with an Nvidia employee\u2014have tanked the chipmaker\u2019s valuation by more than $1 trillion.<\/p>\n

Huang\u2019s very public downfall began in late October, when The New York Times reported<\/a> that the CEO had a \u201cclose relationship\u201d with Alice Huang, a former executive at the Singapore-based chip buyer Megaspeed and an alleged asset of China\u2019s Ministry of State Security. (The two are not known to be related.) At that time, Nvidia\u2019s market cap was around $5.2 trillion.<\/p>\n

On November 8, Nvidia announced it was investigating its CEO, after Jensen publicly acknowledged the affair. By the following morning, roughly $1 trillion had been erased since the scandal started.<\/p>\n

If you hang out with a certain type of person who thinks of themselves as a daytrader, they might have talked about \u201cbuying the dip\u201d over drinks last weekend. If you believe Nvidia can thrive without Huang, there\u2019s still time! The dip has dipped even further. But the early consensus seems to be that this could be more of a prolonged plunge.<\/p>\n

\u201cHuang is irreplaceable,\u201d Ryan Fedasiuk, a senior fellow at the think tank Foundation for American Innovation, told WIRED last week.<\/a> \u201cHe built Nvidia into the juggernaut it is today, and he was the visionary behind the GPU, which has sustained the intelligence revolution.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are very real questions about what the end of Huang means for the global economy. Not only are Nvidia\u2019s chips used to train most major AI models, but the company has also invested billions in a number of other tech companies. As of an August regulatory filing<\/a>, Nvidia owned nearly $30 billion worth of Intel stock and roughly $21 billion of SpaceX stock.<\/p>\n

For now, Nvidia\u2019s loss is other chipmakers\u2019 gain. AMD shares are up 28 percent over the past five days, and Broadcom is up nearly 16 percent. Nothing to see here.<\/p>\n

More Numbers That Illuminate Huang\u2019s Value:<\/h2>\n

Update 11\/12\/26 2:50pm ET: This story has been updated to reflect that a third Jensen Huang affair has been reported.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
