After Jensen Huang's resignation from Nvidia, it's all praise or political finger-wagging about the ex-CEO, with little in between
Sadness is the general sentiment, it seems.
The face of Nvidia, once led by CEO Jensen Huang, is now vacant as he has resigned from the company he founded over three decades ago. Colette Kress, previously Nvidia's Chief Financial Officer, has been appointed as the interim CEO. Huang's resignation follows two affair scandals, where he was allegedly involved with a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy and Nvidia's VP of healthcare, Kimberly Powell.
The response to his resignation has been a mix of disappointment and praise for his time at the helm of Nvidia. Presidential candidate Donald Trump praised Huang's tenure, suggesting Tim Cook from Apple as a potential replacement. However, the US Select Committee on China expressed concern over potential security risks due to Huang's relationship with a Chinese spy.
Other tech leaders, such as Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney, also expressed their sadness over Huang's departure, emphasizing the importance of open-source AI.
