马斯克 on 黄仁勋 Ending 33-Year Run at 英伟达: Founders Are Hard to Replace

IT Home, November 13 — 英伟达 founder 黄仁勋 announced yesterday (November 12) that he is stepping down as the company's president, chief executive officer and board member, effective immediately, ending a 33-year run at the helm. In response, the world's richest person, Elon 马斯克 (Elon Musk), said founders are hard to replace.

Well-known Silicon Valley investor 纳瓦尔 · 拉维坎特 (Naval Ravikant) tweeted that, judging by the experiences of Apple co-founder 史蒂夫 · Steve Jobs and Uber co-founder Travis 卡兰尼克 (Travis Kalanick), founders are not "replaceable just like that." 马斯克 responded with "True words," publicly expressing his agreement.

IT Home note: Jobs left Apple in 1985 after a power struggle with Apple's management and board. Apple's product line then fell into disarray and its market share declined, and by the mid-1990s it was once on the brink of financial crisis. Apple acquired Jobs's NeXT in 1997; he returned to the company and led the iMac, iPod, iPhone and other product cycles, guiding Apple through a revival rare in business history.

卡兰尼克 is a co-founder of Uber and stepped down as CEO in 2017 amid sexual harassment allegations, controversy over its management culture and investor pressure. Uber was subsequently taken over by Dara Khosrowshahi, and the company gradually improved governance, stabilized operations and achieved sustained profitability. Once a founder leaves, it is uncertain whether the company can smoothly carry on his vision, culture and execution, and founders themselves are not easily replaced by outside professional managers.
