Who could replace Jensen Huang? A highly unscientific list of possible successors

Speculation surrounds the potential successors to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, as his odds of surviving the week are low at 30% according to Kalshi. Rumors swirl about extramarital affairs involving Huang and two of his executives, but it remains unclear which, if any, led to his possible ousting. Even if Huang is pushed out, it's uncertain whether the board would replace him entirely or keep him as chairman.

Potential candidates include Lisa Su, AMD's CEO and Huang's cousin, who may remain at her current position. Eric Schmidt, former Google CEO and AI expert, is another name thrown around, but his own past indiscretions could hinder his chances. Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, who knows chips well and could benefit from a less intense environment, is also a possibility.

Tech veteran Bret Taylor, known for his diverse experience at Google, Facebook, Twitter, and OpenAI, could provide stability and leadership. Nvidia VP Ian Buck, who played a key role in developing CUDA, is another potential successor. Andrew Bell, Nvidia's senior vice president of hardware engineering and a long-time employee, could also be considered. Finally, Lori Huang, Jensen's wife and long-time collaborator, is a wild card who could provide continuity to the company.
