Billionaire Elon Musk stated that hiring Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang would be an honour. Musk responded to a social media user amid severe board turmoil at the chipmaker.
An X user urged Musk to hire Huang. Musk replied directly, calling the prospect an honour.
Earlier this month, Musk backed Sequoia Capital partner Shaun Maguire. Maguire praised Huang as a generational entrepreneur while acknowledging his serious personal mistakes.
Maguire admitted Huang acted foolishly and harmed American interests, though he doubted malicious intent. He insisted Huang remains irreplaceable for American artificial intelligence leadership.
Musk echoed this sentiment on social media. He simply replied that he agreed with Maguire’s assessment.
These supportive remarks arrive as Nvidia scrutinizes Huang’s leadership. Reports indicate the company’s board met Wednesday to decide his future following fresh infidelity allegations.
The board already launched an independent investigation after Huang emailed employees admitting to an affair. Reports link him to Nvidia’s healthcare vice president, Kimberly Powell.
Now, a second allegation threatens his position. Unverified reports claim Huang previously had an affair with Chinese executive Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le.
United States intelligence agencies reportedly suspect Alice Huang worked as a Chinese spy. However, investigators have not independently verified these explosive espionage claims.
The leadership crisis heavily impacted Nvidia’s stock performance in New York. Shares plunged 10 per cent during Wednesday’s post-market trading session.
The stock also dropped 13 per cent over the past five days. Sustained losses will push Nvidia’s market capitalisation below the $4 trillion mark when trading resumes.
