Telegram Founder on Jensen Huang's Departure: Entrepreneurs Should Control Their Own Boards

Odaily: Telegram founder Pavel Durov posted on X commenting on NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's departure, saying that Huang's "rookie mistake" was setting up a board of directors.

Durov recalled that he himself was ousted by his board in 2014 after refusing the demands of intelligence officers. He joked about the intelligence allegations surrounding Huang that whether one says "yes" or "no" to intelligence officers, the board can still push the founder out.

Durov concluded with advice to entrepreneurs: "Don't set up a board. Be your own board."
