Johny Srouji had to be convinced to stay at Apple around about a year ago. Surely he's being considered for this?

He doesn’t have sales chops though. Maybe co-CEO. He does have close ties to Israel though, and Nvidia has a fairly prominent Israeli faction

The faster we get Collette out of there the better.

Does anyone regard any post Saxby Arm CEO as successful? What success they have had has largely been down to momentum and Apple.

OTOH if Jensen doesn't make a comeback it's hard to see nVidia keeping their momentum at all, which is likely to be the entire point.

Nvidia was forcing companies to buy hardware they did not need to drive up production so Jensen could smuggle more gpus to china. If that all ends, most large data center projects are dead. There never was any demand for large data centers and they require billions if not trillions in grid upgrades that these companies were trying to get everyone else on the grid to pay for.

If we put a gpu in every home, no one has to spend money upgrading the grid. Take all those gpus and put them in a single data center, now you need a trillion dollars to fund grid upgrades and gain absolutely nothing.

The only thing these large data centers do is give a massive tech company the ability to use the hardware they are renting to you, to undermine you and front any work you are doing.

We should see hardware prices drop fast if nvidia is actually stopped from doing their criminal activities.

OK, let's stick to the subject and not engage in absolute delusion.

Jenson is going to have 50 job offers sitting on his doormat by Monday morning.

And a handful of them will be worth $1B or more.

In the US, unlikely.

He is currently a landmine and any publicly traded company taking on that risk would be a violation of fiduciary duty.

This guy fucked up big time possibly committing multiple felonies. You'd have to be stupid if you wanted to take on any government contracts having him in your business.
