Darwin, November 13: Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and founder of SpaceX, has said he would feel honoured to hire Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang at one of his companies, amid growing uncertainty over Huang’s future at the US chipmaker.
Musk made the remark late Wednesday, November 11, as speculation mounted over the leadership of Nvidia, one of the world’s leading technology companies.
Responding to a post on X, formerly Twitter, that read, “Elon, please hire Jensen,” Musk replied: “It would be an honour.”
However, he did not specify which position he might offer Huang or whether he was referring to Tesla, SpaceX or another venture. He also made no mention of any formal job offer or ongoing recruitment discussions.
Musk’s comment came shortly after The Wall Street Journal reported that Nvidia’s board of directors was considering removing Huang from his position. The report said board members were scheduled to meet on Wednesday to discuss the matter.
The uncertainty follows allegations that Huang had been involved in extramarital relationships with two women. One of them was Alice Huang, a former executive at Mega Speed International, who has also faced allegations of Chinese espionage. The other is reportedly an Nvidia employee.
Following the allegations, Nvidia announced an independent investigation to determine whether Huang may have been targeted through foreign intelligence operations.
The reports have also affected Nvidia’s stock performance. At the close of regular trading on Wednesday, the company’s shares had risen 2.87 per cent to $173.73. However, during subsequent trading, the stock fell 8.61 per cent to $158.78.
Huang founded Nvidia in 1993 and has served as the company’s president and chief executive officer since its establishment.
Under his leadership, Nvidia has become a major global supplier of the advanced chips required to power artificial intelligence technologies. Any potential departure by Huang could therefore mark a significant change in the leadership of one of the world’s most influential technology companies.
