Weeks before his ouster, Jensen on Bloomberg:

"just as I can be fired, the next CEO has to be hired. And I like it that way.. And I like it that way… we can’t be overly complacent… You’re always vulnerable, you’re always earning it"

Also said he says his kids have to earn the job

WSJ: Jensen Huang doesn’t believe in succession planning, and Nvidia investors are now pricing that risk. Instead of naming an heir, the 63-year-old Jensen runs a flat company with about 60 direct reports, saying constant knowledge-sharing creates many possible successors. Nvidia’s own “definitive proxy statement” (that they file with SEC) warns that failing to plan succession well could hurt its strategy, execution and long-term success. A successor could take over his operating duties, but not his direct line to President Trump and the foreign officials he lobbies on chip exports.
