Telegram CEO reveals 'rookie mistake' that got Jensen Huang ousted

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov said Jensen Huang got ousted from NVIDIA because of a "rookie mistake". "In 2014, my board kicked me out for saying no to spies. In 2026, Jensen's board kicked him out for saying yes to one. So the board gets you either way," he said. Durov suggested founders to "be the board" instead of having one.
