NVIDIA employee calls anti-Jensen campaign a coordinated coup and asks who benefits

JF Puget, an NVIDIA employee, says he is deeply concerned by the campaign against CEO Jensen Huang, calling it a coordinated coup and warning that removing him would be a disaster.
His key argument: look at who benefits from a dramatically weakened NVIDIA — not China, since the China GPU market is already closed (Chinese authorities even pushed back on the H200 the Trump administration allowed NVIDIA to sell). He lists what Huang pushed back on:
- regulations that would make open-source model training too expensive;
- immunity for closed-model providers over harms caused by their models — "if your product is not ready, then don't ship it";
- bans on model distillation — "this is competition; people do it all the time with NVIDIA products, trying to reverse engineer them."
He adds that as a Frenchman he doesn't care about Huang's private life and questions why all employees, partners and investors should be collateral damage.
