Elon Musk offers to hire Jensen Huang as Nvidia CEO faces ouster speculation

New Delhi, Nov 12 (UNI) Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has expressed willingness to hire Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, saying it would be an "honour" to bring the veteran technology executive on board.
Musk's remarks on social media platform X come at a time when Huang's position at the world's leading AI chipmaker is reportedly under threat following allegations of multiple extramarital relationships, including one involving a woman suspected of having links to Chinese intelligence.
Musk responded to a post urging him to recruit Huang amid growing uncertainty over the Nvidia chief's future. His comments have drawn attention given the longstanding professional relationship between the two technology leaders and Tesla's dependence on Nvidia's advanced computing hardware.
The development comes as Nvidia's board is reportedly preparing to meet to discuss Huang's future and whether he should continue as the company's chief executive. According to a Reuters report, the board was scheduled to meet on Wednesday, November 11, to consider the leadership crisis. The reported move marks a significant shift from the board's earlier expression of confidence in Huang and his leadership team.
The controversy surrounding Huang intensified after reports emerged about his alleged relationship with Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman suspected by US intelligence officials of working for Beijing. Huang reportedly acknowledged in a communication to Nvidia employees that he had been unfaithful to his wife and apologised to his family and colleagues, taking responsibility for his actions.
The issue has also raised concerns beyond Huang's personal life, particularly over potential national security implications. Reports have alleged that Alice Huang was connected to business networks involved in procuring Nvidia's advanced AI chips for Chinese companies. US intelligence agencies have reportedly examined whether she facilitated the transfer of sensitive information to China.
Nvidia has initiated an independent investigation into the matter and engaged outside legal counsel. The company has also faced questions from lawmakers over whether its business dealings and chip exports to China could have been exposed to security risks. US President Donald Trump has said the FBI is looking into the matter, while defending Huang and suggesting that he may not have known about the woman's alleged intelligence links.
The controversy widened further after a New York Times report alleged that Huang had a second extramarital relationship with a senior Nvidia executive who reported directly to him. The report identified the executive as Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president of healthcare. The allegations have added another layer to the governance questions facing the company's board.
Musk and Huang have shared a professional relationship for more than a decade. Nvidia is an important technology supplier to Tesla, providing graphics processing units (GPUs) and computing infrastructure used in artificial intelligence development.
Tesla relies on Nvidia's chips to train AI models supporting its autonomous driving technology and robotics ambitions. Nvidia also supplies computing technology for Tesla's driver-assistance systems, although the electric vehicle manufacturer has been developing its own semiconductor capabilities.
Huang's experience in designing and scaling advanced AI computing infrastructure could also be valuable to Musk's broader business interests, including Tesla, SpaceX and his artificial intelligence venture xAI.
The two executives have previously appeared together at major technology and business events, including US President Donald Trump's high-profile visit to China earlier this year. Musk has also publicly praised Huang's leadership and indicated that Tesla would continue purchasing Nvidia chips.UNI VK AAB
