Balaji Srinivasan, an investor and former chief technology officer of Coinbase, publicly called for Nvidia board members to resign following the departure of CEO Jensen Huang.

Srinivasan's perspective implies that the company's value, which he claims involves "Trillions in capital," is intrinsically linked to its founder's leadership.
Balaji Srinivasan, an investor and former chief technology officer of Coinbase, publicly called for Nvidia board members to resign following the departure of CEO Jensen Huang. In a post on X on Friday, November 13, 2026, Srinivasan stated, "if you are e/acc, if you are a techno-optimist, if you support open weight models, or if you just want to rectify a gross injustice — it is legitimate for you to politely press the Nvidia board with every tool at your disposal to reinstate Jensen Huang." He suggested that "mass employee resignations may follow, as may shareholder, partner, and customer suits against anti-Jensen board members for breaching their fiduciary duty."
The statement comes amidst significant market attention on Nvidia, a major player in the semiconductor and artificial intelligence sectors. Nvidia's stock (NVDA) is trading at $166.19, down 4.3% today. Recent Gokhshtein Media coverage has highlighted a broader debate around market movements, including Bitcoin's price decline and institutional demand cooling for Bitcoin ETFs, though these do not directly address Nvidia's corporate governance.
Srinivasan's perspective implies that the company's value, which he claims involves "Trillions in capital," is intrinsically linked to its founder's leadership. He suggests that shareholders and employees possess significant leverage to reverse the board's decision, potentially by demanding the resignation of specific board members. His view is that the reinstatement of Huang is crucial for the company's future and the trajectory of open-weight AI.
“Nvidia is nothing without its people. It now appears the national security allegations may be as fake as Russiagate. If so, Nvidia employees, shareholders, partners, and customers have immense leverage. Whether publicly or privately, collectively or individually, they can approach the members of the board that precipitously pushed for Jensen’s resignation and instead demand that anti-Jensen board members resign. Else mass employee resignations may follow, as may shareholder, partner, and customer suits against anti-Jensen board members for breaching their fiduciary duty. Because the value of Nvidia as an economic entity — for its employees, shareholders, partners, and customers — is obviously far higher if the founder and CEO of what was the most valuable company in world history is reinstated and this coup is defeated. Trillions in capital, the fate of open weight AI, and the global economy itself all hang in the balance. So: if you are e/acc, if you are a techno-optimist, if you support open weight models, or if you just want to rectify a gross injustice — it is legitimate for you to politely press the Nvidia board with every tool at your disposal to reinstate Jensen Huang. Remember how much capital is at stake. For many parties, it’d be worth it to spend millions — or even billions — on any legally permissible tactic that can get anti-Jensen board members to reverse their votes and then step down. Remember also: the kind of spineless NPC board member that would vote against Jensen Huang due to a bad news cycle would likely buckle if subject to even 1/1000 of the scrutiny that poor Jensen has been subject to. Mechanically: step one is to do citizen journalism to determine how each board member voted. Step two is to get the anti-Jensen board members to resign. And step three is the return of the king. OpenAI shows it can be done. There are after all just a few human beings who need to change their anti-Jensen votes, or step down, or both. Their names and duties are public. And they’re meant to be accountable to the shareholders. This analysis by @gemchange_ltd is as good a place as any to start.”
