Musk says hiring Jensen Huang would be an honor as Nvidia weighs CEO's future
Elon Musk said he would be honored to hire Jensen Huang, adding unexpected attention to Nvidia's leadership uncertainty as its board reviews the CEO's future. Musk's comment came in response to a post urging him to recruit Huang. The exchange followed reports that Nvidia's board is discussing whether to remove Huang, who cofounded the AI chipmaker in 1993. Tesla and Musk's xAI are major users of Nvidia hardware, making his public endorsement notable amid the leadership review. Nvidia announced an independent investigation on November 8 after reports of a foreign intelligence operation targeting Huang, though the company expressed confidence in him. Shares fell over 8% in extended trading Wednesday after reports about his potential removal.
