According to CNBC, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang walked into the company’s headquarters in Santa Clara, California, on Monday and, as usual, hosted a morning meeting with senior executives. People familiar with the matter said that at the start of the closed-door meeting, Huang first apologized to employees for the recent scandal, did not take any questions, and then quickly turned the discussion to business and the day’s main agenda.
People familiar with the matter also said that Huang also came to the office for meetings on Tuesday. It is about a week before the company releases its new quarterly earnings. An insider told CNBC that Huang was trying to create an atmosphere of business as usual, but the mood inside the company was low.

The report is based on descriptions from people familiar with the matter and reflects Huang’s attempt to stabilize the internal environment with a normal work rhythm after publicly acknowledging infidelity and facing a board investigation. He briefly apologized in the executive meeting and then quickly moved to the agenda without opening the floor to questions, which fits the common crisis-management approach of acknowledging the issue and then returning to operations as soon as possible.
The internal “low” mood is related to the long-standing employee admiration for Huang as an individual. With only about a week left before earnings are released, the company faces dual pressure to maintain performance communication and employee confidence while the investigation is ongoing. The board has hired outside counsel to conduct an independent investigation, and the internal meeting itself does not change that process.
Current public information is limited to anonymous descriptions quoted by the media, and the company has not formally confirmed the meeting details. Subsequent employee reactions, executive turnover, or statements in the earnings call will provide more observable signals.

The report relies on people familiar with the matter, making it a secondhand account rather than official company confirmation or a public meeting record.
“Business as usual” is a description of Huang’s intention by people familiar with the matter, and does not mean that operations or the investigation are actually unaffected.
The internal “low” mood is an employee description and a subjective feeling, not a quantifiable change in business metrics.
