I don't get it. How is Jim Keller running a brand new, hard tech startup while being CEO of Tenstorrent at the same time?


Chuck Norris will pass his torch to Jim Keller.

Jim won't have a say in the matter.


There are rumors Qualcomm is going to buy Tenstorrent.



So Elon Musk can be the CEO of multiple companies but Jim Keller can't be CEO of two quickly growing startups?


Elon is a notoriously bad CEO at all of those companies.


Just by success numbers he can't be terrible. Most of his companies are doing pretty well for themselves.


By only one metric really, which is market capitalisation. SpaceX, which is famously shielded from Elon by the next level of managers, also produces a useful and profitable product.
