Elon Musk Says It 'Would Be an Honor' to Hire Jensen Huang, as the Nvidia CEO's Future Hangs in the Balance - IGN Pakistan
Tech billionaire Elon Musk has said it "would be an honor" to hire Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who faces investigation over an affair with a woman alleged to be a Chinese spy.
The 63-year-old Huang co-founded Nvidia in 1993 and has led it to become the world's second-most valuable company, worth over $4 trillion. The company provides advanced computer chips for gaming, cloud servers, and has focused heavily on AI in recent years. Huang's future at the company hangs in the balance as he faces investigation from Nvidia's board and the FBI.
Tech industry support
Several tech executives have publicly supported Huang, including Tim Sweeney of Epic Games, who tweeted that firing Huang would be "an Apple firing Steve Jobs level of idiocy." Sweeney emphasized Huang's role as "the visionary driver of the future of tech from the gaming GPU era to CUDA to AI supercomputers."
This would be an Apple firing Steve Jobs level of idiocy from Nvidia's board if they did that, and a grievous harm to the United States of America. The dude truly is the visionary driver of the future of tech from the gaming GPU era to CUDA to AI supercomputers.
Possible outcomes
Nvidia's board may decide to keep Huang, appoint a successor on an interim basis, or Huang could resign. If Huang leaves the company he built, Elon Musk has indicated interest in hiring him for SpaceX, posting on X that it would be "an honour" to work with Huang. Meanwhile, some U.S. lawmakers have called for Huang's resignation, and there are moves to potentially tighten Nvidia's exports to China, which has warned against using the spying allegations as a pretext for restrictions.
