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