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.
Sad day for America. A hard-working legal immigrant who built a trillion-dollar company from Denny’s on his own dime could be dragged down overnight, while the opposite side made it all the way to the political podium.
Which side raised America to the powerhouse of technical advancement?
Whoever casts stones from the shadows is never on the side of the saint.
NVIDIA letting Jensen go is a huge mistake, for America and for humanity. It's Apple firing Steve Jobs all over again, but much bigger, given the role of AI in defining the future of our world.
I've been keeping quiet on this out of respect for Jensen's family and team, who I've met and who are amazing humans, and because I personally hate infidelity. So my heart goes out to them in this difficult personal family moment.
But I can also say that Jensen is human, and makes mistakes like all of us do. Not that I matter at all, but I've known Jensen for a long time and have gotten the chance to spend a lot of time with him, behind the scenes, away from mics and cameras. I have seen him show kindness, humility, care to everyone around him, including strangers, including from the poorest most struggling parts of society, treating all the same with the same thoughtfulness and attention, because they are fellow humans and not because he has something to gain from them. That shows rare character, to maintain humility and humanity through all of it.
Another data point is what people who know him well have said privately to me about Jensen over the years. I've never had anyone tell me anything but how awesome he is or how much they love him. Probably over a thousand people at this point. This includes hundreds of engineers, CEOs, colleagues, friends, etc.
Also, since there was some spy talk. Jensen is as proud an American as it gets. I'm in shock frankly at all of this, including the mass hysteria around it. I love America, and I think NVIDIA letting Jensen go is terrible for America.
I stand with Jensen.
Love you all ❤️
