Musk says Nvidia will lose 'critical' deals without Jensen Huang
Musk said that while Huang drove supply chain "brilliantly" at Nvidia, many such deals were "a handshake with Jensen, not a written contract."
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk stated on X on Saturday that Nvidia will lose "critical deals" following the departure of CEO Jensen Huang. Musk noted that while Huang managed the supply chain brilliantly, many of those arrangements were based on a handshake with Huang rather than a written contract, according to The Hill and Hindustan Times - World News.
Huang resigned as chief executive of the artificial intelligence chipmaker on November 12, an announcement that took effect immediately, according to Middle East Eye. The company's board has appointed chief financial officer Colette Kress as interim chief executive while a search for a permanent successor continues. Middle East Eye reports that local Israeli media have identified Michael Kagan, Eyal Waldman, and Johny Srouji as possible successors.
The Hill reports that Huang's exit follows reports of extramarital affairs, including one involving an alleged Chinese spy.
