Jensen Huang ouster rumor sparks pushback: CEOs do get fired over affairs, not OSS fights
ShakeelHashim · x · 2026-11-13
Pushing back on the narrative that Jensen Huang was pushed out as a proxy in some grand fight over open source or other issues, billyez2 argues CEOs do get fired for affairs — McDonald's fired Easterbrook and Intel fired Krzanich over relationships, and "Jensen's actions were worse." Shakeel Hashim shared the take in agreement.
This remains unverified industry rumor/commentary; treat official Nvidia announcements as authoritative.
