Jason: Jensen Huang will be back at Nvidia within 12 months | E2363

This Week In Startups is made possible by: PayPal: https://paypal.com/business G2i: https://g2i.co/twist Deel: https://deel.com/twist Plaud: https://plaud.ai/twist Today’s show: Jensen Huang is out at Nvidia, the company he founded and ran for three decades, but Jason has a prediction: he’ll be back in 12 months. If Sam Altman and Steve Jobs can return, then Jason says, so can Jenson. On this Friday news show, Jason and Lon break down the Nvidia board’s decision to push out Huang, the WSJ report that he called his replacement “a deer in the headlights,” and the congressional investigations that are surely on the way. Jason asks why this story is breaking right now, so quickly after the midterm elections, and who stands to benefit from Huang’s ouster. PLUS: Hubspot’s bringing back Brian Halligan to “re-found” the company. What does this mean, and why does it seem to be such a successful strategy? Then we’re answering the X question of the day, considering the SpaceX-Tesla merger rumors, fiending for a Salt Hank’s French Dip sandwich, and wondering if “GTA VI” will be the last video game sequel to require 8 years of development.
