I’ve seen founders fired and their equity forefeit for such conduct. This being a 20M / ARR firm.
Perhaps this is a too big to fail scenario?
Perhaps this is a too big to fail scenario?
1. Jensen is a billionaire who doesn't really need to work. This gives him a lot of leverage. He isn't desperate to make a living.
2. Imagine he is fired, unloads all stocks, and starts a new competing company. This would cause NVIDIA a much bigger issue, 10000x bigger.
3. Also, this means Jensen would get to unload the stock at the peak. Democrats won and is about to be way more responsible than Trump. Cue Luo Pai from Enron.
4. Dating a customer isn't really a big deal. Did her company get a preferential price? Treatment? I'd guess that her company doesn't make a dent in NVIDIA's revenue.
5. Her being a Chinese spy isn't Jensen's fault. If anything, he is a victim.
He cofounded the company over 30 years ago. He isn't just a rich person with a desk job he doesn't care about.
