Jensen Huang Wasn't Too Big To Fire After All

In this special edition, Jason Howell and Jeff Jarvis react to Jensen Huang's resignation as Nvidia CEO, one day after they asked whether he was too big to fire. They cover the reporting on a second affair, the board's swift move, Colette Kress stepping in as interim CEO, and Nvidia shares falling 14% at the open before recovering much of the drop.

Also in this episode, they look at who could replace a legend, from Ian Buck to Rene Haas to Trump's pitch for Tim Cook, and Jeff argues the whole saga shows too much power sits in too few hands. New episodes every Wednesday at aiinside.show.
