A WSJ front-page story claimed Nvidia's lack of a succession plan poses big risks, saying Jensen Huang has no clear successor. Investor firstadopter, who says he knows the board members, publicly pushed back: a succession plan is literally the board's number one job and Nvidia certainly has one. He accuses WSJ of doing no actual reporting and manufacturing a sensationalized narrative from an offhand comment, calling it journalistic malpractice.
