๐ ๐ Look at the stacks. ๐
Compute โ Intelligence โ Productivity โ Economic Value.
$NVDA: vertically integrated from silicon โ systems โ networking โ software โ AI factories โ digital twins โ agents โ robotics.
Omniverse + Cosmos + ISAAC + NIM + CUDA. Not just supplying the compute, but building the full-stack infrastructure that turns compute into intelligence.
$SPCX + $TSLA: a vertically integrated stack spanning space, connectivity, compute, energy, autonomy and physical AI.
Diversification creates opportunity.
Vertical integration compounds it.
The stack is the ABSOLUTE strategy.
@elonmusk can we get a "Bring Back Jensen" poll on X? ๐ณ๏ธ
Let $NVDA employees, shareholders, partners and vendors weigh in before the board finalizes this. Iโm the first calling it a literal "hostile takeover" of a founder's company. Let's hear from the people who actually built it. ๐
Jensen, America, & you deserve more. ๐
Elon was Nvidia's first-ever DGX-1 customer in 2016, and today your companies rank among Nvidia's biggest AI chip buyers, from xAI's Colossus to Tesla's AI training. Soon, $NVDA data centers in space. ๐ค
You and Jensen are paramount to American Innovation & Strategic Foresight ๐ค๐๐

๐ #BringBackJensen | How profound Jensen Huang really was ๐
WIRED reports that 1,600+ Nvidia employees commented on an internal post, mostly backing his return. They know what the world just lost: a founder who saw the AI future decades early and built it ๐
๐ญ The vision
In 1993 he co-founded Nvidia in a Denny's booth with a bet on accelerated computing. Most people thought graphics chips were for gamers. Jensen saw a new kind of computer.
๐ง The bet nobody understood
In 2006 he poured years and billions into CUDA, letting GPUs run general computing. Wall Street questioned it. Then in 2012, AlexNet trained on Nvidia GPUs and the deep learning era was born.
๐ The AI factory
In 2016 he hand-delivered the first DGX-1 to you, Elon, with OpenAI. He envisioned data centers as "AI factories" before anyone else did, and turned compute into productive capital. โTo the future of computing and humanity. I present you the world's first DGX-1!โ You have a key say as a top customer of nvda - especially going forward with data centers in space.
๐ The impact
Nvidia went from a graphics chip startup to the engine of the AI economy. Every major model, every hyperscaler, every AI lab runs on what he & NVDA built.
๐ฅ The leader
Flat structure, first-principles thinking, 33 years at the helm. A rare founder-CEO in the same league as Musk. That kind of vision can't be replicated.
๐๏ธ The reality check
The foundation he laid for AI will outlast every headline. Legends don't get erased, they stay treasured. ๐

Absolutely incredible.
This is why the board should have waited for their own investigation to finish.
Shareholders, employees and partners overwhelmingly support Jensen.
Many Nvidia employees are already demanding Jensen Huang be brought back and given a "second chance" to lead the company, with hundreds of people supporting him on internal message boards.
"If you believe in the mission, bring back THE boss."

Everyone believes CUDA is NVIDIA's moat, the reason we've maintained our dominance in the AI era. I've never believed that.
NVIDIA has only one true moat: its people. And the most important of them is Jensen Huang.
I've worked on CUDA compilers, libraries, and DSLs for eight years, from Volta to Rubin. I think I've earned the right to share my perspective on what NVIDIA's moat really is. I hope you'll bear with me.
1. What is CUDA?
Many people think CUDA is just a programming language and its compiler, and that NVIDIA's moat comes from the massive amount of software written in CUDA, making it impossible for developers to leave NVIDIA GPUs.
This is completely wrong. It's an incredibly naive understanding of CUDA.
To me, CUDA is everything NVIDIA does.
CUDA isn't just a language, software, or hardware architecture. It's a product defined by a unique customer experience.
When you find GPU programming too difficult, CUDA gives you an easier way. When your GPU code isn't fast enough, NVIDIA engineers respond and help you solve it. When a handful of GPUs can no longer push your technology forward, NVIDIA has already scaled its computing platform from desktops to massive data centers. When you need more data centers than anyone else can supply, NVIDIA has already secured wafer and HBM capacity years in advance to meet your demand.
That experience is CUDA.
It's made possible by the relentless, day-to-day work of everyone at NVIDIA. And the person who brings all these people together, who gives them a shared vision and purpose, is Jensen Huang.
2. What made CUDA possible?
Patience. Perseverance. An unwavering commitment to a vision.
Around 2006, NVIDIA bet that the future would demand far more computing power, and began transforming GPUs from graphics processors into a platform for general-purpose computing. Initially, it was a commercial disaster. The added costs hurt margins, the market wasn't ready, and the strategy faced enormous skepticism and pressure, including questions from the board.
But Jensen persisted.
For roughly a decade, NVIDIA kept investing in CUDA, building its hardware, software, and developer ecosystem long before the commercial payoff became clear.
Eventually, deep learning arrived. And NVIDIA was ready.
Today, this sounds like an inspiring story. But for those who lived through it, it meant a decade of perseverance, doubt, and being misunderstood.
Looking back at the history of technology, how many people could have done the same?
This is what I've always loved most about NVIDIA.
And now, Jensen has been pushed out.
This won't kill NVIDIA. The company can still create tremendous commercial value. But it has killed NVIDIA's soul. And how far can a body go without its soul?
If this is how Jensen Huang is treated today, how will those of us who built CUDA be treated tomorrow?
I love NVIDIA deeply, but I have to say it: NVIDIA is dead.
Almost 16 years ago @JensenHuang looked me right in the eyes, paused, super intense, and said "I would do anything for this company."
I'd started my career at @nvidia working directly with him, managing the demos at all of his keynotes, customer meetings, investor events and tradeshows like NVISION and GTC.
I was on a trip with Jensen flying from San Jose to Phoenix and NVIDIA's travel policy was that all employees flew coach... which I was fine with but I assumed the founder of the company would be flying in biz.
I board the plane in group six and as I'm boarding I start to get worried because I don't see Jensen in any of the first class seats on this flight... I wonder if he missed it, if we are still going etc.. and as I walk to my seat in the back of the plane, somewhere around row 14 I see Jensen in a middle seat in coach, working on his blackberry.
We were going to Phoenix for a small Consumer Electronics Association meeting (goal was to present here so that Jensen could get an invite from CEA to keynote CES the next year.. it ended up being two years later). It was super clear that the sparsely populated room had no idea who Jensen was either and the response to the presentation was tepid at best..
Afterwards at the airport on the way back to San Jose he ordered me my first ever martini (which was the strongest drink I've ever had in my life up to that point) and I mustered up the courage to asked him why we went all this way to demo some tech to a few random CEA members .... and that's when he looked at me and said that he'd do anything for this company.
I was blown away. This is the CEO, flying in coach (on the flight back he had an aisle seat) pitching a room of people that barely cared, and he's dead serious.. he really would do anything and sacrifice anything to make NVIDIA successful.
I can't really imagine NVIDIA without him. But the people who've lasted there that long are winners and the culture is literally one of a kind.. they'll get through this.
I hope him stepping down is only temporary.
I have so many more stories and lessons Jensen taught me and that I witnessed being around him. Will share more later.. some of the best are around GTC / NVISION
A heartbreaking day.
I came to @nvidia as an intern. It was my first job, and I never left. For my whole career, @JensenHuang has been the leader I looked up to.
He taught us to reason from first principles, that the mission is the boss, and that greatness comes from suffering. And he lived it every single day, working harder than any of us.
I've never known a more inspiring leader. Thank you, Jensen. We'll keep building on what you started.
This hearing is about more than Jensen Huang. Congress will be looking closely at where AI chips went, how data centers are being built, and whether China has interfered with U.S. AI and power infrastructure. I expect the scrutiny to increase dramatically. The outcome could affect how America develops AI and protects its national security.
Iโm sorry but why are we letting the future of $NVDA and American semiconductors
Be decided by board members with experience from Taco Bell and the NFL
NVIDIA employees: go on strike. Now.
Not for a raise. Not for more PTO. For your founder.
Jensen Huang was just pushed out in four days, after thirty-three years building the company. The GPU, CUDA, the entire infrastructure the world's AI runs on today. And it ends with a three-line press release on a Thursday morning.
Here are the facts. Sunday, Huang admits to an affair and apologizes to his teams. The board launches an independent investigation, led by Wachtell Lipton and a former federal prosecutor. Thursday, he resigns under pressure. The investigation hasn't reached any conclusion. No technology leak has been established. No misconduct has been announced.
The sentence came before the verdict.
Let me be clear: if the investigation shows that NVIDIA secrets ended up in Beijing, he has to go, and nobody will defend him. But you don't unplug the most important builder of the decade over press reports and a market panic. It's called the presumption of innocence. It applies to founders too.
And it has worked before.
November 2023. OpenAI's board fires Sam Altman on a Friday night. Within days, more than 700 of roughly 770 employees sign a letter: bring Altman back, or we all walk. Five days later, Altman is back, and most of the board that fired him is gone.
Call it the Altman precedent: in a company built on talent, real power doesn't sit with the board. It sits with the people who build.
NVIDIA's engineers hold that power today. They're the ones running the machine. Without them, there is no next generation of chips.
So put down your tools. All of you. And tell the board: no successor until the investigation is done. Facts first, sentence second.
A founder isn't an executive you swap out. A founder is the soul of the company. Apple learned that when it pushed out Steve Jobs in 1985. It took twelve years and a near-bankruptcy to bring him back.
NVIDIA doesn't have twelve years. The AI race won't wait for anyone.
A company's soul isn't something you vote on in a boardroom. It's something you fight for.
@The_RockTrading Canโt wait to sell not the same โ the story has fundamentally changed which is the only time you sell a stock. The margins and growth will show signs of decline and competitors will materially dissipate its leadership. Strategic foresight & execution is now lost at $NVDA.
I'm proud I worked at @NVIDIA.
@JensenHuang is the biggest reason why. I'm not there anymore, so I can speak freely.
His departure is a huge loss. Especially now.
I spent almost five years in the culture he built and knew people who'd worked with him for 20+ years. They respected him technically and loved him as a person. They said it without a hint of doubt.
The focus stayed on the mission and on people. Good ideas got support regardless of title.
That sounds like standard company values. It wasn't. Behind it was his vision and a way of leading that is out of fashion in today's founder advice:
- Be kind, not arrogant.
- Innovation, not marketing.
- The wins belong to the people, not the CEO.
- Don't fire by default. Find the person a new role.
It's counterintuitive, and I doubt there is a harder way to lead. What I saw was leadership through kindness and care, not by squeezing people.
A real visionary. He understood the technology and the people building it. His internal talks had vision, conviction, technical depth and jokes good enough for stand-up. You left wanting to build, and you couldn't wait for the next one.
An affair, on its own, shouldn't outweigh decades of leadership. The serious questions deserve real answers. But the soap opera shouldn't decide his future.
We're at a critical moment for AI. His technical judgment, vision, and commitment to the work are incredibly hard to replace.
I want Jensen to keep building and leading. There's too much important work ahead.
Exactly feel the same way. So much time and dedication to understand and research a now-dethroned company which directly benefits China and harms our innovation. Also, knowing how paramount Jensen was to $NVDA and AI this decision is mind-boggling. This was the most perfect company setup in history with the most terrific roadmap to continuing innovation with accretive earnings at a scale to become the first $1T revenue company. Shed a few tears for @JensenHuang today. The masterpiece is no longer without such strategic foresight and profound character. Competition and China have the green light ๐คท๐คฏ Appreciate your strategic analyses!!๐ฏ
