- Altimeter Capital Management and Atreides Management urged the board to take a 'slow, measured, and deliberate' approach, citing 'the extraordinary success of Jensen Huang's leadership over a long period of time' in a letter posted late last week.
- On Sunday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Nvidia needs a 'dramatic shakeup' and should hire outside leadership, as the board has reportedly approached Arm Holdings CEO Rene Haas as a potential successor.
- Billionaire Elon Musk claimed Nvidia would lose 'critical' deals without Huang, while the board stated any speculation regarding individual candidates remains premature as it selects a search firm.
