Everything Jensen Huang said about China is out the window

No American argued harder for selling artificial intelligence chips to China than Nvidia’s chief executive Jensen Huang. His recurring advocacy previously could be easily explained by run-of-the-mill self-interest, with billions of dollars at stake. Now, that explanation has suddenly got a lot murkier .

‘Jensen did so many good things and he needs a second chance.’

‘Jensen did so many good things and he needs a second chance.’

That’s one of more than 1,600 comments Nvidia staffers have left in an internal “suggestion box,” with the aim of urging the company’s board to consider their feelings regarding actions taken against (now former) CEO Jensen Huang. Their plea to “bring back THE boss” isn’t insignificant, given Nvidia has around 42,000 employees.
