One of the greatest failures of Nvidia's Board was in failing to push for a successor. (Musks' companies face a similar risk.)
SpaceX has Shotwell to cushion the blow. Tesla will obviously crash into the cellar the moment he OD's or gets thrown in jail for pedo shit.
The trillion dollar valuation would be gone for sure.
It’s not like Jensen predicted it
Ok AMD had some financial woes, but it also has made a lot of less optimal technical and business decisions that were entirely unforced errors.
Are you implying that Tim Cook should single-handedly run the worlds largest, highest throughput global supply chain? Like the screws of the Mac mini, the walk throughs of thousands of factories all over the planet, the coordination of fedex and UPS shipments of 100M units in a single day for just ONE of their products? Coordinating the DHL shipments to Germany? Sourcing the supply of the sapphire crystal glass? Coordination of mass producing the 3nm silicon at TSMC and the C1 modem in Shenzen? All Tim Cook. All by himself.
Seriously, i hope this was just a joke that landed badly. Cause oh my god, man.
Do you know how many parts go into all Apple products ?
Its a very large number, nobody at Apple could possibly know the requirements or reasoning for why one is selected and another dismissed.
It would takes years just to read thru the entire list and understand the engineering choice for each one.
> Sourcing the supply of the sapphire crystal glass?
Do you know how many different types of glasses there are and all their physical properties and costs and suppliers ?
I dont know but im pretty sure it would take a long time certainly more than a year just to get the contact and technical details and possible samples from each supplier.
Getting that sample is just the start. Gathering requirements, understanding testing methodology and equipment and many other items requires a very large team of engineers of all kinds.
There is no way a single person could do just this one task.
Its simply not possible for a single person do the glass and screws and we have only started.
As i said before Apple has thousands of highly skilled people because it requires all of them. You are dishonouring their skills and efforts by pretending its all Tim.
I'm just parroting what is typically said about him in the business press as part of a non-serious joke here.
I'm not an Apple fan and don't really follow his career.
That said, Apple makes almost 3 million dollars of revenue per employee, so I don't know if suggesting they hire too many employees really lands?
Bad things happen when you concentrate all praise on a single person, let me remind you of the Iran war.
