HN has a natural bias towards protecting the semiconductor president.
HN has a rule about titles to avoid derailed threads like this.
All of which distracts from the misinformation that Huang is not being investigated by his Board.
HN's title, as the top comment alleges, is extremely misleading as to what the board's goals are.
The top comment is correct to question the title, as it leads to more interesting HN comments than the driveby CEO pugilism that many bottom-barrel commentators participate in. Your response to the top comment is condescending and speculative instead of curious or informative. It seems to me like people are fulminating on both sides, and clearly Nvidia's board doesn't know the whole story either.
It’s not speculative to say a Board launching this sort of investigation is investigating its CEO. It’s borderline absurd to suggest otherwise, given the law and precedent of such announcements. I admit I was condescending, but not intentionally—folks who don’t have any domain expertise really want this to be something it’s not.
