How many of those employees are his girlfriend?
Yes.
Dude was playing the long game
Next we find out he slept with half the shareholders
How many are in the gaming division which is just a tiny blip in terms of revenue? A new CEO could very well abandon that market to focus on more profitable areas.
They are likely scared because most of them have stock options no doubt. Huang was a rarity - a CEO who was also an engineer who understood chip making so he was uniquely fit for the job. He was also with the company it’s entire existence. He clearly could not handle being launched into tech bro stardom in recent years and made dumb fucking choices. Not to mention any new guy will likely be more willing to make cuts should the stock take further hits from this scandal.
NVidia doesn’t actually make chips, it’s a design shop with TSMC fabbing the silicon. So you’re looking at a wider selection of people who ran big ASIC and CPU design groups. There’s one of those inside Intel, which also does fabrication. Apple, Qualcomm, and others similarly. AMD even (Huang is distantly related to Lisa Su). An AMD-NVidia merger could be a thing of fanfiction if NVidia wasn’t already in enough antitrust trouble. Maybe Huang and Su could even swap places, lol.
How much of the petition is digital? I wouldn’t trust them not to just use one of their toys to spoof a list of heartfelt demands
