‘I’m a piece of s---’: Jensen Huang’s last hours as Nvidia CEO
After weeks spent denying allegations of infidelity and fighting to remain in his job, Huang's surrender late Wednesday night was unconditional.
By the end, Jensen Huang appeared utterly broken and shattered, his trademark relentless energy visibly drained away. After weeks of vehemently denying infidelity allegations and desperately clinging to his position as Nvidia's chief executive officer, his resignation late Wednesday night was unequivocal. A source close to the situation revealed that Huang's typically commanding presence had vanished, replaced by casual phrases like "whatever" and "I don't care."
Throughout his decades-long journey in building Nvidia into a multitrillion-dollar AI chip industry giant, Huang was renowned for his meticulous attention to detail, from the intricate chip architecture to the compensation packages of even the most junior employees. In the eyes of those present, he had seemingly forfeited all control.
