Tech journalist on Jensen Huang's fall from grace, revisiting his 'I wouldn't start Nvidia again' clip
ashleymayer · x · 2026-11-12
Journalist Ashley Mayer expresses genuine disappointment over Jensen Huang's fall from grace: despite knowing better than to believe mythology and that power corrupts, Huang seemed uniquely grounded and thoughtful over 30+ years building Nvidia. She quotes his Acquired podcast clip where he said he wouldn't start a company again today — building Nvidia was "a million times harder" than expected, and knowing the pain, vulnerability, and shame involved, nobody would start. The post frames the community's reaction to Huang's recent scandal.
