Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigns after reports of second affair deepened scandal

Jensen, even after decades, remained deeply involved in many operational decisions with 40+ direct reports. He had a long-term mindset, investing heavily in Tegra and CUDA in 2009-2010, even as he was plagued by write-offs from faulty chips.

This is a terrible decision for NVIDIA and the broader economy. Jensen gets to retire with $100B+ and not deal with the crap.

Is it weird that there were no Jensen stories on HN's front page Mon-late Weds? The scandal was deepening and yet it wasn't showing up here. Flagging?

He didn't resign because of two affairs. He resigned because there were a LOT more than two affairs. I'm sure they wouldn't stop coming after enemies and the press smelled blood in the water.

Why did the senior exec rat out on him?

I think he was forced out

because of a spy?

What a sham, the loss of aura is incalculable. A Coordinated effort by those who disagree with him.

There are five posts on Jensen Huang resignation on the front page, have the moderators also resigned?

Financially, this is probably the best thing that could’ve happened to him…even with the almost assured impending divorce. Wonder if he’s gonna start a new chip company.

that leather jacket was a givaway.

god the bean counters are running the company now. queue amd

Could have just powered through it. I'm surprised he decided to resign.
