Telegram Founder: Jensen Huang Made a Rookie Mistake, Should Not Have Set Up a Board

Odaily News: Telegram founder Pavel Durov posted a comment on the Jensen Huang-related incident, saying that Jensen Huang made a rookie mistake—setting up a board of directors. Durov stated that in 2014, he was ousted from his company by the board because he refused to compromise with intelligence agencies; and in 2026, Jensen Huang was ousted by the board because he compromised with intelligence agencies. He joked that, either way, the board will ultimately push the founder out, and advised entrepreneurs not to set up a board of directors, but to control the board themselves.
