Jensen Huang made mistakes that gave opportunities to his enemies. But the bigger mistake was his incredible greed, he should have been a happy supplier of an extremely valuable product, and accept competition and that his quasi-monopoly was only transient. But he wanted the entire cake for himself.

Greed and hubris. I think the turbulences will be painful to some, especially those who counted on Nvidia stock to finance their retirement.

But, big picture, this is good news.

But they don't have a monopoly. Their marketshare is sinking, down to perhaps 45% of estimated TSMC CoWoS supply next year (down from close to 70% last year).

I don’t get why he just didn’t use ‘discreet services’ which I’m absolutely certain are available to rich people like him. Why would you even bother with an employee? It just seems like so much unnecessary hassle.

Not a monopoly. 3dfx is going to drop the voodoo 6 soon
