JUST IN: Open letter from Nvidia employees, alumni, & shareholders calls on the board to reinstate Jensen Huang as CEO immediately — “Jensen deserves due process, not mob justice.”

Day 6: asking @elonmusk to keep the Cybertruck alive!
You already pushed the line back through next summer for sentimentality, and honestly, I think that says a lot. You don't get sentimental about a product that didn't matter.
So let's take that one step further. Don't give it a nicer goodbye. Give it an amazing long-lasting future.
Day 5: asking @elonmusk to keep the Cybertruck alive!
Here's an idea. Let’s do a data experiment. Open Cybertruck orders at ALL THREE TRIM LEVELS for 72 hours and put a counter on X where we can all keep an eye on it.
If people show up the way I think they will, that tells you something. We can call it a science experiment.

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.
I've been keeping quiet on this out of respect for Jensen's family and team, who I've met and who are amazing humans, and because I personally hate infidelity. So my heart goes out to them in this difficult personal family moment.
But I can also say that Jensen is human, and makes mistakes like all of us do. Not that I matter at all, but I've known Jensen for a long time and have gotten the chance to spend a lot of time with him, behind the scenes, away from mics and cameras. I have seen him show kindness, humility, care to everyone around him, including strangers, including from the poorest most struggling parts of society, treating all the same with the same thoughtfulness and attention, because they are fellow humans and not because he has something to gain from them. That shows rare character, to maintain humility and humanity through all of it.
Another data point is what people who know him well have said privately to me about Jensen over the years. I've never had anyone tell me anything but how awesome he is or how much they love him. Probably over a thousand people at this point. This includes hundreds of engineers, CEOs, colleagues, friends, etc.
Also, since there was some spy talk. Jensen is as proud an American as it gets. I'm in shock frankly at all of this, including the mass hysteria around it. I love America, and I think NVIDIA letting Jensen go is terrible for America.
I stand with Jensen.
Love you all ❤️

Fate loves irony, so what if...
- Nvidia fires Jensen
- NVDA crashes
- Elon hires Jensen, Jensen hires his best lieutenants
- SPCX skyrockets, NVDA crashes more
- SPCX can now afford to acquire NVDA
- Jensen back in seat, NVDA board is out

Save Jensen.
This would be an Apple firing Steve Jobs level of idiocy from NVIDIA’s board if they did that, and a grievous harm to the United States of America.
The dude truly is the visionary driver of the future of tech from the gaming GPU era to CUDA to AI supercomputers.

Jensen Huang and the Nvidia board just made a massive mistake.
He should not have resigned.
The board should have taken the time to conduct a thorough investigation, consult with shareholders, and carefully evaluate the long-term implications of this decision.
There is no clear replacement for Jensen Huang, and we believe his departure will ultimately be a net negative for Nvidia, $NVDA, and its shareholders.
This will go down as the most costly mistake of the AI Revolution.

Even the smartest people make mistakes, and I genuinely believe Elon is making a BIG mistake by canceling the Cybertruck!
I’ve NEVER seen a community come together this strongly to keep a vehicle in production. That alone should tell Tesla how much this truck means to us!
@elonmusk, you can still achieve your vision of full autonomy with Cybercab while giving your most loyal supporters what they want too. KEEP THE CYBERTRUCK!
You get the future you envision, we get to keep the truck we love, and EVERYBODY WINS! 🫶

I gotta be honest the way Tesla is handling the whole CyberTruck situation right now isn’t ideal.
- They announce it’s being “wound down” in order to make room on the floor for the Cybercab. A vehicle which currently is being produced faster than they can make use for (I know that’ll hopefully change)
- This is on the heels of discontinuing The X and S, which is concerning since people do still want to own and drive Teslas, and having only a 3 and Y available in the lineup leaves a lot of desire for another vehicle.
- Elon says they can’t keep up with demand (?) and they’ll have to refund customers on their orders
- days later the price goes up again and now your only way to get a CyberTruck is to buy the most expensive trim possible. So what happened to not being able to fulfill orders? Do they prioritize CyberBeast over the lower trims?
Overall this is just so strange, but curious to hear what you all think.

I have a brain. Not everyone wants to ride around in a taxi. Your taxi doesn’t even fit a family. Everyone was fine with adding @robotaxi as an addition to the personal fleet but removing personal vehicles is infuriating a lot of @Tesla owners who got you to where you are by purchasing your vehicles
randy odish retweeted
Pretty upset with Tesla! How could you cancel the Model S, X and the Cybertruck less than 6 months with NO announced replacements whatsoever.
It’s sad that Cybercab is such a high priority given that we live in a world where people WANT to own their vehicles. There are no true premium options for people who want a Tesla… SAD!

It’s been more than 20 years since Boeing or Airbus has launched a new commercial airliner. Chinese dominance of commercial aviation is inevitable unless the west builds a new airframer that actually innovates.
My goal is to make Boom that air framer.
.@emirates President Tim Clark says its only a matter of time before China upends commercial aviation:
“They’ve slaughtered the auto market with EVs, they’ve upended so many industries, why would aviation be any different for them?”

For the first time since I got my first Tesla, I’m considering not getting a Tesla as my next vehicle.
I still want a Model 3 Performance but I don’t know if I trust Tesla in the long term to support customer owned vehicles… This whole situation just feels like a middle finger to their loyal customers.
The Cybertruck order rate far exceeds our production rate. We will try to make as many as possible before shutting down the line in about 8 months, but will have to return deposits for a lot of people.
This is not a case of Cybertruck being unprofitable, as has been misreported by legacy media, but rather that the opportunity cost of the complexity of Cybertruck is vastly outweighed by the value of incremental Cybercab production.

Elon, sometimes you have to listen to your most loyal fans too!
I can’t tell you how to run your companies. You’re the richest man in the world for a reason. But Tesla has built an incredibly passionate Cybertruck community, and there’s a whole younger generation growing up DREAMING of owning one someday!
By the time those kids grow up, unsupervised FSD could be everywhere. If Tesla is going all in on Cybercab, why not eventually offer a Cybertruck without a steering wheel too? It already has steer-by-wire! Imagine Cybercabs AND Cybertrucks driving around fully autonomous.
You can embrace the future of autonomy without giving up on one of the most revolutionary vehicles you’ve ever built.
Just KEEP THE CYBERTRUCK AROUND, man! We genuinely love this truck! ❤️ @elonmusk

Come on @elonmusk!
You are starting up a night shift to meet this demand before the Cybertruck line ends.
The people have spoken man!
We love the triangle. Please consider keeping this legendary vehicle around.
