Former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is reportedly discussing a comeback as CEO days after he resigned over an affair with a suspected Chinese spy.

Huang quit as chief of the world’s most valuable company after it emerged he cheated on his wife with Alice Huang, accused of being a Chinese spy, and Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice healthcare president.

The billionaire has already discussed with confidants the possibility of returning, despite being such to an investigation by Nvidia’s board, the Financial Times reports

One Huang ally said they were putting together a ‘war room’ of influential supporters in Silicon Valley to lobby for his return.

There are reportedly plans to try to garner support from Donald Trump,who has defended Huang amid the cheating scandal.

A public campaign to reinstate the former Nvidia boss has already collected the endorsement of Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and Epic Games chief executive Tim Sweeney.

Huang’s future was thrown into doubt after Huang admitted that he had an affair with a woman. He married his wife, Lori, in 1985.

Huang initially shrugged off worries about the extramarital relationship, telling Bloomberg News it was strictly professional.
