Elon Musk says he would hire Jensen Huang
Elon Musk says he'd hire Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang amid reports of his potential ouster, echoing a Silicon Valley scandal from 2010.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk expressed interest in hiring Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang if the company's board removes him. The exchange occurred after The Wall Street Journal reported that Nvidia's board was considering ousting Huang due to revelations about extramarital relationships, one of which involves a woman suspected of spying for China.
Musk's response echoes a similar situation in 2010 when Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison defended and hired Mark Hurd after he was ousted from Hewlett-Packard. Huang, a co-founder of Nvidia, is a highly influential figure in the AI industry whose company's chips power much of the AI boom. Musk's companies rely heavily on AI computing technology and are major buyers of Nvidia GPUs, making Huang's expertise valuable. However, Musk's comment was an expression of interest, not a formal job offer.
