Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia Corp., was seen as broken and shattered in his final hours, with his usual energy diminished, according to a source familiar with the situation. After weeks of denying allegations of infidelity and fighting to retain his position, Huang's surrender was unconditional. He had begun to use phrases like "whatever" and "I don't care," showing a stark contrast to his usual take-charge demeanor.
Huang, renowned for his meticulous attention to detail in chip architecture and employee compensation, had seemingly given up on his role in the company. The people in the room noted that he had given up, and some who have spoken with him recently reported that he had started to use self-deprecating language, calling himself a "piece of shit." This was a sad sight, as reported by Bennett and King for Bloomberg.
