Investor pushes back on Economist's Huang take: 'greatness doesn't guarantee goodness'

Investor Gavin Baker replies to discussion around Jensen Huang and The Economist's "no one is irreplaceable" line, calling Huang one of the most extraordinary entrepreneurs ever and saying America's growth engine rests on Nvidia. Yet "greatness doesn't guarantee goodness. It's disappointing." He argues The Economist is wrong: a founder who spent 30 years building such a unique company is genuinely irreplaceable.
