Nvidia prepares to fire CEO Jensen Huang, WSJ reports

I suggest reading Tae Kim’s book on the company. Unless Mr. Kim is lying - and he has no incentive to - NVIDIA is very much an extension of Jensen. His management shaped it to the core. It would survive his ousting, but not unscathed. Comparisons to Jobs & Apple are not unwarranted.

Sure, and Jobs learned that he did not have unconditional power.

And when he left, Apple started circling the drain.

Sculley, Spindler, and Amelio were unmitigated disasters.

Amelio managed to make one of the greatest decisions in the history of American business and buy NeXT to get himself replaced by Jobs. How is that an unmitigated disaster? He could have bought BeOS.

Fair point.

Before that, he was known for spending most of his time, polishing his private plane.
