After Nvidia Scandal, Will Jensen Huang Accept Elon Musk's Offer?

The repercussions of the crisis that toppled former "Nvidia" CEO Jensen Huang continue, after information emerged about a third extramarital affair, this time with an employee at the company. Meanwhile, American billionaire Elon Musk expressed his willingness to recruit him to work with him, and US President Donald Trump floated the name of Tim Cook, former CEO of "Apple," as his successor. This is what the "Le Numérique" website wrote about developments in the case.
Elon Musk supports Jensen Huang
Huang had left the leadership of "Nvidia," the company he founded in 1993, on Thursday, after a week that saw a series of revelations regarding details of his private life.

Hours after announcing his departure, information was published about a third romantic relationship linking him to an employee at the company, adding a new development to the case that attracted wide attention in US tech circles.
Huang had admitted in a message sent to company employees on November 8 to his marital infidelity, without naming the women involved.

In the midst of these developments, Elon Musk expressed readiness to hire Jensen Huang. On Wednesday evening, hours before the official announcement of his departure from "Nvidia," the financial blog account "Zero Hedge" addressed Musk via the "X" platform, saying: "Elon, please hire Jensen." The owner of "Tesla" and "SpaceX" replied: "It would be my honor."

Musk had days earlier endorsed a post by Sean Maguire, partner at investment fund "Sequoia Capital," which described Huang as "irreplaceable for US leadership in artificial intelligence," while simultaneously considering his behavior "incredibly stupid."

Close ties
The interests of the two men are linked by close relationships in the technology sector. Musk's AI company "xAI" relied on 100,000 H100 chips produced by "Nvidia" to build the first version of its supercomputer "Colossus," and the two men have been exchanging praise for years.

In contrast, US President Donald Trump proposed a name to succeed Huang, namely Tim Cook, former CEO of "Apple."

Trump wrote on his platform on Thursday praising the "great work" accomplished by Huang, adding: "There is only one man who can replace him: Tim Cook from Apple. A legend replacing a legend!"

While the repercussions of the case continue, Huang is preparing to appear before the US Congress to give testimony.

Bryan Mast, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said that Huang agreed on Wednesday evening, before announcing his departure from his position, to give closed-door testimony before Thanksgiving, corresponding to November 26.

For his part, John Moolinar, chairman of the House Select Committee on China, kept open the possibility of summoning him if he retracts his consent.

"Nvidia" is scheduled to announce its quarterly financial results on Tuesday, November 17, for the first time since its founder left the executive leadership role.
