Be Jensen Huang: • Starts Nvidia in 1993. By 1996, the company is nearly bankrupt. He lays off half the staff and tells the team they are “30 days from going out of business.” • In 1997, Nvidia wins a Sega contract, but Jensen realizes the chip won’t work. Sega invests $5M anyway, giving Nvidia six more months to survive and pivot. • The pivot works. Nvidia goes public in 1999 and launches the GeForce 256, calling it the world’s first “GPU.” It goes on to dominate PC gaming. • Jensen notices PhD students using Nvidia gaming cards for complex math. He realizes the GPU is much bigger than gaming and starts investing heavily in that future. • Throughout the 2000s, Nvidia pours profits into developing CUDA, a software platform that makes GPUs programmable for AI, scientific computing, and many of the heaviest workloads that CPUs can’t handle. • In 2016, Jensen hand-delivers Nvidia’s first AI supercomputer, the DGX-1, to Elon Musk for OpenAI to train a 'generative model'. • In 2022, Nvidia stock crashes 66%. The PC market slows, Ethereum kills GPU mining, resale prices collapse, and revenue guidance falls. • While the industry slows down, Jensen aggressively secures TSMC's limited CoWoS packaging capacity (the bottleneck for AI chips) betting the farm that the "big AI moment" is imminent. • In Nov 2022, OpenAI launched ChatGPT. Suddenly, every major tech company wants thousands of Nvidia H100s at $30K each. • From 2023 to 2025, big tech pours hundreds of billions into AI infrastructure. Nvidia becomes the choke point. CUDA keeps developers locked in. • Nvidia becomes the most valuable company in the world, valued at $4.3 trillion, and Jensen owns approximately 3.5% worth $150+ billion. • Then everything starts to unravel. • On November 8, 2026, Nvidia’s board opens an investigation into Jensen’s relationship with a “Chinese spy” after he admits to an affair. • On November 11, the NYT reports he also had an affair with Nvidia’s V.P of Healthcare, who reported directly to him. • Today, Jensen Huang resigns as Nvidia CEO, president, and board member, effective immediately.
