The story
News said to have been broken by TV Tokyo’s “WBS” program — that NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has resigned — became a hot topic on a thread in 5ch’s Hello! Project board. With the departure of the founder who has effectively dominated the GPU market, posters voiced worries about the impact on stock prices and the industry, while also buzzing over comparisons of scale (“it’s like Masayoshi Son resigning”) and trivia about his being secretly related to rival AMD’s CEO, Lisa Su. Speculation flew about the reasons behind the resignation, but this article excludes posts containing baseless claims.

Fitting, since 'Huang' sounds like 'fuan' (anxiety) in Japanese

What kind of family is that
It's like some kind of hereditary performing art

Background and key points of this story
Jensen Huang founded NVIDIA in 1993 and has effectively dominated the AI chip market through GPU technology, so if the resignation is confirmed, it would mark a major leadership change at one of the world’s largest companies by market cap, with significant implications for the market. The claim that spread through the thread — that AMD CEO Lisa Su and Huang are relatives — isn’t an urban legend; it’s an actual reported blood relation, worth noting as more than just a joke. Meanwhile, some posts in the thread floated unverified speculation linking the resignation to a relationship scandal; this article excludes such baseless claims. As for NVIDIA itself, concerns separate from the resignation report had already been raised before — such as worries over ‘circular’ deals between companies investing in data center buildouts, and the risk of GPU technology leaking to China — and the thread’s reactions are tied to those existing anxieties too. One point readers may easily get wrong is that the resignation report itself is still at the stage of being relayed from a TV Tokyo program as its primary source, and the reactions on 5ch are simply a collection of speculation and jokes responding to that initial report.
