Before his departure, Jensen Huang acted out of character, confessing 'I was a jerk' and blaming himself.

BlockBeats news, November 13 — In the final hours before Jensen Huang left Nvidia (NVDA), the once forceful, hands-on management style seemed to have vanished. By the end, Huang looked utterly broken, exhausted, and the legendary vitality of his earlier days had completely drained away.

According to Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter, Huang ultimately resigned late Wednesday night local time after weeks of denying extramarital affair allegations and fighting to keep his CEO position. At that point, he no longer displayed the posture of someone accustomed to controlling everything; instead, he frequently used phrases like "whatever" and "I don't care."

For decades, Huang had personally driven Nvidia's growth into a multi-trillion-dollar AI chip giant. From chip architecture to compensation arrangements for rank-and-file employees, he intervened in every detail and wielded extremely strong control over the company's operations. But to those present at the time, he had already given up resistance.

According to people who spoke with Huang in recent days, he had begun to show a penitent posture, even harshly calling himself a "jerk" with such crude language. He said that at this stage he no longer cared what ultimately became of him. What concerned him most now was his wife, and not "ruining the lives of the multiple women who are now believed in the public imagination to have had romantic relationships with him."
