Denny’s Removes Plaque Honoring Nvidia Founder Jensen Huang After His Resignation
Denny’s has removed a plaque honoring Jensen Huang at the restaurant where he co-founded Nvidia in 1993, following his resignation as CEO amid allegations of extramarital affairs. Huang stepped down on Thursday, November 12, after revelations about the affairs, including one involving a suspected Chinese spy, plunging the chipmaker into crisis and shaking the AI industry, according to Reuters. The plaque, inscribed “THE BOOTH THAT LAUNCHED A $1 TRILLION COMPANY,” was installed in 2023 and marked the spot where Huang met co-founders Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem to discuss creating 3D graphics chips. His exit may impact US chip export policy and AI ecosystem, given his push for Chinese market access and ties with President Donald Trump.
