I've not fired very many people before, but deception removes any ambiguity as to whether or not someone should be fired.
I’d love if that were true. But actually what the world operates on in selfish money grabbing.
Nobody trusted Trump yet he had the loyalty of all the tech giants because they needed him to make money.
And likewise, AI, and thus the global economy, are dependent on Nvidia. So there was no financial incentive for him to leave if it were just a matter of trust over his inability to keep his penis in his pants.
And let’s remember, this isn’t new news. Nvidia have been aware of this for a year already and it wasn’t a problem until recently.
So what’s changed? The obvious big thing is American government. The Democrats have made it very clear that they’re not going to tolerate any more shenanigans. So removing Haung is a great way to reduce the risk of any financial penalties for Nvidia’s deals with China et al.
