Musk Says He Would Be 'Honored' to Hire Nvidia's Jensen Huang

Elon Musk said he would consider it an honor to hire Jensen Huang, the chief executive of Nvidia, in a post on X. The comment drew attention because it came as reports circulated about Huang's position at the chipmaker he leads.

According to one account, Nvidia's board of directors is preparing to oust Huang. Another report states that Huang is under investigation by his own board and by the FBI after he admitted to having an affair with a woman. The accounts differ on the scope of the board's actions and on the involvement of law enforcement.

Musk, the tech billionaire, made the remark publicly on his social media platform rather than through a company statement. Neither Nvidia nor Huang has commented in the reports. It is not clear whether any hiring discussion has taken place.

What happens next depends on Nvidia's board. Reports indicate the board has been preparing steps concerning Huang's role, but no decision has been confirmed publicly. Huang remains the company's chief executive according to the reports, which do not say when any board action might come.
