This story is still being watched, so it is a count and not yet a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. If it is still true when we stop checking, we will say so plainly.
Elon Musk announced he would sign a petition seeking the reinstatement of Jensen Huang as Nvidia CEO. Huang resigned from his position following reports of extramarital relationships. One of these alleged relationships involved a woman suspected by US intelligence officials of having links to Chinese intelligence services.
The New York Times and Reuters provided details on Huang's alleged relationships. The New York Times reported on an extramarital relationship with Kimberly Powell, an Nvidia vice president. Reuters reported on an alleged intimate relationship with a second company employee. Huang acknowledged being unfaithful to his wife in a message to employees.
Disagreement on the reason for resignation
CNBC-TV18 reported that Jensen Huang stepped down as Nvidia CEO following reports of two extramarital relationships, including one with a woman suspected of being a Chinese intelligence agent and another with a company employee. The Times of India stated Huang resigned amid mounting scrutiny over reports of his alleged extramarital relationships, including one with a Chinese businesswoman suspected by some US intelligence officials of having links to Chinese intelligence services.
What the coverage left out
None of the right-rated reports mentioned the New York Times' specific reporting on an alleged relationship between Jensen Huang and Kimberly Powell, an Nvidia vice president. Additionally, none of the right-rated reports included details about the internal petition at Nvidia attracting over 1,600 comments or an employee-wide email demanding greater transparency, as reported by CNBC-TV18.

Questions about this coverage
- How did the left and right cover Elon Musk backs Jensen Huang's return to Nvidia CEO role?
- Of the 7 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 0% are rated left, 0% are rated centre, 100% are rated right. Those percentages are shares of the rated outlets, not of every outlet that ran it, which was 12. The sections above set out what each side emphasised, in its own terms.
- Is Elon Musk backs Jensen Huang's return to Nvidia CEO role left or right?
- Too few of the outlets on this story carry a published leaning rating to say. 7 of them do, and this site does not characterise a field under 12: at that size one newsroom filing moves the share by ten points. The percentages above are the count as it stands.
- Is the coverage of Elon Musk backs Jensen Huang's return to Nvidia CEO role biased?
- Elon Musk backs Jensen Huang's return to Nvidia CEO role is one event reported by 12 outlets, and this page does not rate the story as biased or unbiased.

A leaning rating describes an outlet's record over time, not this article, and the two should not be run together.
