So what mechanism do you propose?

Huang has served as CEO for a whopping 33 years - hard to argue he wasn't crucial to NVIDIA's success, and how many of the board members are the original from when he was first chosen-selected and continued to be hired as CEO over the crucial early decades?

What nuanced knowledge-understanding does he have that no one else can have?

Maybe sleeping with spies was a necessary part of survival, perhaps if he wasn't prone to that then he'd have been assassinated and potential replacement CEOs who are toeing certain lines may have been attempted to replace him after his murder?

Respectfully, I don't engage with conspiracy theorists

Huang is known to literally respond to low-level e-mails between ICs. The idea that a CFO can take his place is ridiculous. People need to be real.

What's happening now with this situation is why communism and similar has historically been able to take hold.

You're really going to need to explain this crazy take. I can't even begin to see the parallels between Jensen Huang being ousted for sleeping with spies and subordinates and the rise of Communism.
