That $200 was a sort of formality; him buying his shares from the company as part of the incorporation paperwork. It has nothing to do with actual funding needed to run a business. Nvidia's first round of financing was 3 months later. $2M at a $6M valuation [1].

Yeah, I think if he gets booted I won't bet on Nvidia anymore. He is the company.

> He is the company.

This is another way of saying all the other people designing the chips, and everything else that goes into the company, are meaningless. The cult of CEO is out of hand

Not meaningless but literally he named it and founded it sitting in a Denny's.

who cares where he named it, stan'ng for the Oligarchy is becoming a social faux pas, fyi

How much did he donate to the ballroom? Did he get the investigation by the government shelved because of that payment? What's the real story behind the 15% revenue share deal he did with Trump?

How corrupt has Jensen actually been?

Oh god forbid you commit a "social faux pas". Way better to stick to the approved messaging.

NVIDIA was capitalized with only 600$? I didn’t realize the company was this old…

Maybe he'll pull a jobsian 2nd coming to his own firm

Let's see him get bounced out on his ass so he can chip in $1000 to start a new company.

We could certainly do with more competition in the space!
