At this moment if you've never been fired by your board you were likely not a good CEO
When Steve Jobs founded Apple, he forgot to setup supervoting shares. In 1985 his board effectively fired him from his own company
12 years later, the board realized their mistake, and invited Jobs back to Apple.
Founders often have extreme risk seeking appetites and colorful personal lives. That's just who they are.
But no one will ever love a company more than its founder. The founder/CEO is the only one willing to go all the way to see their company succeed
so:
- no succession plan.
- 60 reports which means no obvious person with complete understanding of the co operates. or at least it’ll be insanely messy. potential for a lot of infighting.
- a weak board suddenly tasked to manage a crazy crises w/ arguably the most important co of this era.
- possible talent exodus since founder is leaving.
- a ceo search that could take a while with no obvious outsider candidate at the top.
- potentially more revelations.
- jensen will have zero involvement going forward. no chairman role.
- downstream impact on ai ecosystem from funding, support etc.
this is not good. what am i missing?

I genuinely didn’t think they were going to axe him this unceremoniously and with no plan

As all NVIDIA employees I guess, I am deeply concerned by the campaign against Jensen Huang. Removing him would be a disaster.
Many have documented on X and elsewhere how this looks like a coordinated coup.
I'd add only one thing. Look at who would benefit from a dramatic weakening of NVIDIA.
It is not China. It is not about selling GPUs to China because that train has left. China authorities have pushed back on the H200 the Trump administration allowed NVIDIA to sell.
Look at what Jensen pushed back on:
- regulations that would make open source model training too expensive
- regulations that would make closed model providers immune to liabilities caused by their models. He said "if your product is not ready, then don't ship it"
- regulation against model distillation. He said "this is competition. People do it all the time with NVIDIA products, they try to reverse engineer them."
The other side will do everything they can to get him fired.
As a French, I can't care less about his private life. I get that the US is puritan and sees it otherwise. But frankly, isn't it something he and his family has to deal with? Why should all NVIDIA employees, partners, and investors be collateral damage?
Disclaimer. As my bio says, the above are my views only. I do not represent NVIDIA by any means. I only commented on publicly available information.
