Nvidia affair reignites critique: corporate boards serve themselves first in a crisis
PTrubey · x · 2026-11-13
PTrubey uses the Nvidia board affair to argue corporate boards are structurally broken: part-time directors lack direct industry experience due to conflict-of-interest rules, meddle at the margins, and in a real crisis tend to give bad advice or vote to protect their own skins. He calls 'fiduciary duty to shareholders' laughable — directors answer first to themselves and the companies they run, and the board they sit on gets thrown overboard first when interests collide.
