Elon Musk offers to hire Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang amid leadership uncertainty

invezz.com (Dutch) —

Elon Musk said he would be honored to hire Jensen Huang, adding an unexpected twist to uncertainty over Nvidia's leadership as its board considers the future of its longtime CEO. Musk wrote "That would be an honor" on X in response to a post urging him to recruit Huang. The exchange followed reports that Nvidia's board discussed whether to remove Huang, who co-founded the AI chipmaker in 1993. Musk's public comment drew attention because Tesla and his AI companies are major users of advanced computing hardware, with Huang's expertise in processors and supply chains seen as valuable. Nvidia announced an independent investigation on November 8 after reports that a foreign intelligence service had targeted Huang, though the company expressed confidence in its CEO. Nvidia shares fell over 8% in after-hours trading following reports about Huang's future, highlighting investor sensitivity to leadership risk despite robust AI chip demand.
