    If anyone else is confused about who “Jensen Huang” is, apparently that’s the real name of the guy I always see called Stupid Jacket.

    Good riddance, Stupid Jacket. Hope your golden parachute fails to deploy.

    What the fuck are these ‘consequences’?

    …I don’t understand what’s happening…

    I really doubt they’re going to can the guy who oversaw their money printer. It’s all theater, even if they do get rid of him. He will remain on the board and be the most important voice in the room for a long time coming.

      Yeah, the Jacket took nvidia from a small business selling to gamers to #1 company in the world worth 5 trillion dollars (jf I’m not mistaken, also the first in the world to cross the trillion dollar line in marketcap), surpassing microslop and apple, trashing all their competition, and making the entire market eat from their hands. If they do it, I’d be surprised. And even if they do it, he’d likely just take a seat at the board like you said. There’s no way they’re removing him completely.
