Elon Musk has said it would be an “honour” to hire Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang, responding to a social media user’s suggestion amid reports of growing scrutiny of the chipmaker’s leadership.
Musk made the remark on X after a user posted, “Elon, please hire Jensen.” The billionaire entrepreneur replied, “That would be an honour.”
Earlier this month, Musk had also endorsed a post by Sequoia Capital partner Shaun Maguire, who described Huang as one of the greatest entrepreneurs of his generation while criticising certain reported actions by the Nvidia chief.
Maguire said Huang had made a serious mistake that was bad for America, but added that he did not believe there was necessarily any malicious intent behind it. He also argued that Huang remained indispensable to US leadership in artificial intelligence.
“Two mistakes don’t make a right and I believe Jensen is irreplaceable for America’s AI leadership,” Maguire wrote. Musk responded: “I agree.”
The comments come amid reports of allegations concerning Huang’s personal relationships and an internal investigation by Nvidia’s board. According to media reports, the board was expected to discuss his future at a meeting on Wednesday.
Reports have alleged that Huang had an affair with Nvidia vice-president of healthcare Kimberly Powell. Other accounts have linked him to an earlier alleged relationship with Chinese executive Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, who has reportedly been suspected by US intelligence agencies of having links to Chinese espionage.
These allegations have not been independently verified. Reports have also said that Huang acknowledged infidelity in an email to employees, prompting the board to initiate an independent investigation.
Meanwhile, Nvidia shares reportedly fell as much as 10 per cent in post-market trading in New York on Wednesday and declined 13 per cent over five days. If the losses persist when regular trading resumes, the company’s market capitalisation could fall below $4 trillion.
