Elon Musk offers to hire Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang amid affair and China leak probe

arabic.cnn.com (Arabic) —

Elon Musk offered to hire Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang amid controversy over Huang's extramarital affair and alleged ties to a Singapore-based executive suspected of leaking intelligence to China. Musk responded "it would be an honor" to a social media post suggesting he employ Huang. Huang, whose AI chip company exceeds $4 trillion in market value, faces pressure from investigations into his relationship with Alice Huang, a tech executive suspected of smuggling advanced chips to China. Musk and Huang have a long working relationship dating to 2016, when Huang delivered Nvidia's first AI supercomputer to Musk's OpenAI lab. SpaceX, one of Musk's companies, is a major Nvidia chip buyer and reportedly sought $40 billion to purchase more chips last month. Nvidia announced it would investigate allegations that Huang was targeted by foreign intelligence efforts linked to China.
