Lex Fridman asked Jensen Huang how he handles the pressure.
Not the engineering pressure. The weight of knowing that nations plan their economies around your company.
Jensen’s answer went somewhere unexpected.
He talked about tax revenue. Technology leadership for national security. Re-industrialization. Mountains of jobs being created.
Then he mentioned teachers and policemen who bought NVIDIA stock after watching Jim Cramer and are now millionaires.
I am completely aware of that circumstance.
The pressure isn’t about quarterly earnings or stock price. It’s knowing that ordinary people’s retirement depends on decisions you make about chip architecture.
That is not a burden most CEOs describe out loud.
