Jensen Huang: At this point, the people I feel most sorry for are my family and "family."
Judging from Bloomberg's recent long article, "Jensen Huang's Last Hours as CEO," it's clear that Huang's mental state has completely collapsed: Ultimately, he appeared exhausted, broken, and his legendary energy completely depleted.
After weeks of denying infidelity allegations and fighting to retain his position as CEO of Nvidia, Huang unconditionally conceded defeat late Wednesday night.
According to a person familiar with the situation, Huang's usual commanding presence was gone, and he began saying things like "Whatever" and "I don't care."
For decades, Huang built Nvidia into a multi-trillion-dollar AI chip giant. He was known for his meticulous attention to detail, from chip architecture to the compensation plans of the company's lowest-level employees.
At this point, in the eyes of those in the room, he has given up.
According to sources who recently spoke with Jensen Huang, he has begun to repent, calling himself "a piece of shit"...
In October of this year, when Huang's affair began to escalate, most people were still on his side. Board members, primarily his friends, all chose not to comment publicly on the reports, attempting to downplay the situation.
Huang also told the media that his relationship with Alice Huang was nothing special; she was simply a client.
November 6th marked a turning point. Their close relationship was revealed, and Nvidia's general counsel panicked, going directly to Huang's home to confront him about the affair. At this point, Huang admitted to the affair.
Even so, the board still wanted to protect Huang. They announced an investigation plan, coupled with Huang's company-wide letter, hoping to handle the matter internally. However, Huang's mental state had already deteriorated.
Within Nvidia's organizational structure, approximately 60 executives report to Jensen Huang. He is typically extremely responsive to emails, day and night, but in recent days, his response times have become increasingly longer.
This Wednesday, media reports again surfaced regarding Huang's alleged extramarital affair with another female Nvidia executive. The board, realizing the looming crisis, held a remote meeting that lasted late into the night, concluding that Huang's resignation was the only solution.
Now, finding a successor for Huang has become the most urgent matter. AMD CEO Lisa Su and ARM CEO Rene Haas are both being seriously considered as potential successors.
However, it's difficult to imagine anyone being able to take on all of Huang's roles—technical expert, manager, marketer, lobbyist, and company symbol—for better or worse, Nvidia will increasingly resemble a regular company, managed in a more conventional manner.
As for Huang himself, even if he wanted to, he cannot withdraw from the public eye; he will still attend congressional hearings.
According to people who have spoken with him, Huang Jen-hsun recently claimed that he doesn't care about his own fate now; his biggest worry is his wife, and he doesn't want to "ruin the lives of those women"—who are now perceived by the public as having romantic relationships with him.
