The whole company is built around him and that's all there is to it.

Yeah, I mean, you know, the way to do this is to think about things through Jensen's eyes because he's explicit about this.

He created an organization where he wants to know, where he believes the CEO needs to know what's going on.

And the way to do that is to have less of the traditional corporate structure and just a large group, 40, 50, 60, depends on the day as to the number he gives you, of people who directly report to him.

They have responsibilities, but...

Correct.

I mean, you know, Colette has a good reputation on Wall Street.

She was brought in and she's obviously presided over the company when it's been enormously successful.

But this is a very technical job.

And it's also a very dynamic job.

He's on the one hand a science leader and he's on the other hand an advocate and driving the whole industry forward.

Yeah, I mean, he said, look, whether it's Corweave, whether it's XAI, whether it's any of the others that he's open, obviously that he's agreed to give a lot of money to.

He's like, this is just a small portion.

This is me just helping them out a little bit and showing faith in what they're trying to do.

They're going to have to go and raise this money themselves.

The market will basically sort this out.

This isn't circular financing, was his argument.

Yeah, I mean, Jensen said that this is really a technology partnership, that CoreWeave is a very early adopter of NVIDIA systems, tends to do them in the way that NVIDIA thinks they should be done.

And this kind of serves as like a reference platform, so they like that.

And also, he just thinks there's a lot of demand out there, so the faster we can go, the better things get.
