Nvidia lost $500 billion after its co-founder quit
Jensen Huang stepped down following reports of personal misconduct and government intelligence inquiries. Some employees want him brought back.
Nvidia lost about $500 billion of its market value by Thursday afternoon following the departure of co-founder and chief executive Jensen Huang. The drop came after reports of misconduct and government intelligence inquiries. Some employees submitted notes urging the board to bring him back, while others demanded transparency about his exit.
Stephen Witt, a biographer of Jensen Huang, wrote that the executive maintained a culture of silence inside the company and had little tolerance for disagreement. CNBC reports that investors are debating whether to buy the stock now that it has fallen.
