From WSJ below. Seems clear they went too far. But not clear Kress can navigate this.

Over the course of the meeting, he proceeded to tear into the woman who is now taking over for him as Nvidia CEO.

Colette Kress was "a deer in the headlights," he said, interrupting her presentation, according to a person familiar with the comments.

He had summoned Kress and his senior finance team to diagnose a ballooning problem: Nvidia was in talks to provide billions of dollars of guarantees to companies that couldn't afford its chips. That included deals led by Huang's son-in-law, Nico Caprez, who had been offering upstart cloud providers and data-center developers financing in the hopes of turning them into long-term customers.

Huang had launched a dealmaking spree and was now starting to question whether it had gone too far, according to people familiar with the matter.

Kress was a "reporting CFO," not someone who could help him define a strategy or make decisions, Huang said during the August meeting.
