🤯 Who Will Succeed Jensen Huang at Nvidia?
The Most Important CEO Job In AI Is Now EMPTY.
What Happened?
Nvidia's board has approached British chipmaker Arm Holdings CEO Rene Haas in its search for a potential successor to Jensen Huang, the Financial Times reported on Friday.
Huang stepped down on Thursday after revelations of extramarital affairs, including one involving a suspected Chinese spy, plunging the chipmaker into crisis and sending shockwaves across an AI industry he helped bankroll.
From the most powerful man in AI... to gone in 24 hours.
Who Is Rene Haas? Why Him?
Haas' name has been making the rounds among analysts since Huang's exit.
And it makes sense:
- He spent 7 formative years at Nvidia, rising to Vice President and General Manager of its computing products business
- Before joining Arm in 2013
- He became Arm CEO in 2022, overseeing the company's Nasdaq listing in 2023
He knows Nvidia from the inside. He knows chips. He knows Arm.
Arm designs processor architectures and licenses them to other companies that develop chip designs. Historically, its strength has been in mobile phones, and it is expanding into computers.
So Haas is not an outsider. He is at Nvidia veteran who left and became CEO of another chip giant.
BUT - No Deal Yet:
He is among several candidates being considered, and there is no guarantee he will be offered the job or accept it, the FT reported.
Arm declined to comment, while Nvidia did not immediately respond. Reuters could not independently verify the report.
Right Now:
Nvidia's finance chief Colette Kress is the interim CEO.
Market Reaction:
Arm's US-listed shares pared losses after the report and were down more than 5%.
Nvidia's shares were down over 3%.
Even the RUMOR moved both stocks.
The Bigger Scandal:
Meanwhile, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Friday blamed the Commerce Department for failing to blacklist Megaspeed, the Singapore company at the centre of the Nvidia scandal.
Speaking on CNBC, Bessent said Treasury, the Defence Department, the US Trade Representative's office and the State Department had backed adding Megaspeed to Washington's trade blacklist, "for months".
So this is not just a CEO exit. This is a US-China chip scandal, a blacklist fight, and a leadership crisis — all at once.
Why This Matters For AI + Crypto:
Nvidia IS the AI trade.
- If Nvidia stumbles, AI stocks fall
- If AI stocks fall, risk assets fall
- If risk assets fall, BTC, ETH, and AI coins fall too
And remember your last post: AMD's path to $700 just got easier because of Nvidia turmoil. This is exactly why.
Big buyers now NEED a second AI chip supplier. They cannot depend on one company in crisis.
