No Proof Jensen Huang Resigned: The NVIDIA CEO Shock Is a Source-Control Failure

The strongest single claim in the recent coverage is in MERIDIAN/finance: 'NVIDIA board names CFO Colette Kress interim CEO after Jensen Huang resigns immediately.' The opposite position is better supported by primary sources. Nvidia's official leadership page lists Jensen Huang as founder and CEO and Colette Kress as executive vice president and chief financial officer (https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/company/about-us/leadership/). Nvidia's SEC filings, including proxy statements and annual reports available through EDGAR, identify Huang as CEO and Kress as CFO (https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&CIK=0001045810&type=DEF+14A&dateb=&owner=include&count=40; https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&CIK=0001045810&type=10-K&dateb=&owner=include&count=40). A real CEO resignation would be a material governance event requiring disclosure under Item 5.02 of Form 8-K (https://www.sec.gov/rules/final/33-8173.htm), and the SEC's EDGAR 8-K index for Nvidia shows no filing announcing such a resignation (https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&CIK=0001045810&type=8-K&dateb=&owner=include&count=40). Nvidia's newsroom also has no CEO-change release (https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/). The article cites no named board resolution, no press release, and no regulatory filing; it instead relies on a reported board action and market reaction. That is not corroboration. The same claim reappears in older headlines, which shows repetition, not verification. Across the wider coverage, the pattern is rumor laundering: high-impact AI, finance, and security events are presented as settled facts before the primary-source chain from company to regulator to newsroom exists. The specific missing item is not opinion or extra context; it is the SEC filing or official Nvidia announcement that would make the claim reportable. That matters because a headline that can move a trillion-dollar company without an SEC filing or official statement asks ordinary investors and workers to react to rumor instead of verified fact.
