Musk says hiring Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang would be 'an honor'

independent.co.uk —

Elon Musk said it would be "an honor" to hire Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who faces potential removal after reports of an affair with an alleged Chinese spy caused the chipmaker's shares to drop 9 percent. Musk responded to a post on X suggesting he take on Huang, 63, if the company he founded in 1993 lets him go. The two have known each other for over a decade, with Nvidia supplying chips for Tesla vehicles and xAI, and collaborating on space-based data centers. Nvidia's board met Wednesday to decide Huang's fate following the Wall Street Journal report. He admitted infidelity in a memo to employees, while U.S. intelligence warned about his associate Alice Huang, a suspected spy, which China denied. His exit would create a leadership vacuum at the $4 trillion chipmaker.
