‘Humans make mistakes’: Podcaster Lex Fridman backs Jensen Huang’s Nvidia exit, recalls Steve Jobs’ ouster from Apple

Computer scientist and podcaster Lex Fridman has called Jensen Huang’s exit from Nvidia a ‘huge mistake for America and humanity’, drawing a parallel with Apple’s removal of Steve Jobs in 1985. Apple fired Steve Jobs in 1985 following a major power struggle with then CEO John Sculley and the board of directors.

“NVIDIA letting Jensen go is a huge mistake, for America and for humanity. it’s Apple firing Steve Jobs all over again, but much bigger, given the role of AI in defining the future of our world,” Fridman wrote on X.
