Abstract:
After Jensen Huang resigned as CEO of Nvidia on November 13,
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, once again publicly expressed his opinion that founders cannot be easily replaced.
On November 12, local time, Naval Ravikant, a well-known investor in Silicon Valley, posted on the social platform . Musk then responded to the post with "True words", which means "right", expressing his agreement with this view.
The Steve Jobs and Kalanick mentioned by Ravikant in the post are the co-founders of Apple and Uber respectively. Jobs left Apple in 1985 and returned to the company in 1997 to drive its business transformation; Kalanick resigned as CEO of Uber in 2017 after coming under pressure from investors. Their experiences have long been used in Silicon Valley to discuss the differences between founders and professional managers.
Nvidia previously announced that Huang Renxun has resigned as the company's president, CEO and director, effective immediately. The company's chief financial officer Colette Kress will also serve as interim CEO, and the board of directors will also initiate the selection process for a formal successor. Candidates will include both internal and external people at the company.
This is not the first time Musk has supported Huang Renxun. Before Nvidia announced personnel changes, the financial account ZeroHedge suggested Musk hire Huang Renxun on X. Musk replied, "That would be my honor."
