- Elon Musk said that it would be “an honor” to hire Nvidia founder Jensen Huang on Wednesday night as his future hung in the balance following reports of two affairs.
- Before Huang resigned from Nvidia, someone appealed to Musk, writing on X: “Elon please hire Jensen.” Musk responded: “That would be an honor.”
- Musk and Huang are believed to have known each other for at least a decade, with Nvidia supplying chips for Tesla Model S and X vehicles and its hardware powering self-driving technology, as well as xAI. The two men have also collaborated on space-based data centers.
- Huang’s resignation came days after he issued a memo to Nvidia staff, admitting infidelity and apologizing for his actions. U.S. intelligence warned that his mistress, Alice Huang, was suspected of acting as a corporate espionage agent for China.
- Huang, 63, stepped down as CEO Thursday morning, hours after reports about a second affair with a married subordinate came to light.
