He is very hands on. He has more direct reports than other other tech CEOs. I think close to 40. Someone else stepping up or stepping in has things to do.
In addition Nvidia is incredibly tech-heavy company. You need another EE with experience with AI chip design and business. Just having good experienced businessman looking at simplified powerpoints before making decisions of technical issues is probably not enough.
Without discussing the morality of his actions and what he should do as a person, I'm fairly convinced this is either a Chinese intelligence operation to destroy one of the last bastions of US dominance or a CIA operation to install a puppet in a powerful company who is not currently entirely subservient to the will of the US government.
And I'm pretty sure Jenson resigning without a suitable, almost identical successor will kill NVIDIA, the way Intel and AMD and IBM became mere husks of what they were, with no possible road to another western replacement in sight.
> He is very hands on
certainly sounds like that's the case, yup
I’ll do it.
