WASHINGTON – Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on Thursday said ‘it would be an honour’ to hire Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, while responded to a suggestion on social media after reports of board turmoil at the chipmaker.

Jensen Huang’s position at one of the most consequential companies in the artificial intelligence boom has come under scrutiny after his personal conduct.

On his social media platform X, one user wrote, “Elon, please hire Jensen”.

In reply, Musk said, “That would be an honor.”

Musk endorsed a post by Sequoia Capital partner Shaun Maguire, who described Huang as one of the greatest entrepreneurs of this generation, besides acknowledged that the Nvidia chief had made a serious mistake.

Maguire stated that Huang had done something incredibly dumb and that it was bad for America, but added that he believed there was probably no malicious intention behind the actions.

“Two mistakes don’t make a right and I believe Jensen is irreplaceable for America’s AI leadership,” Maguire wrote.

Musk responded to the post with a brief endorsement, saying, “I agree.”

Huang’s position at one of the most consequential companies in the artificial intelligence boom has come under scrutiny because of his personal conduct.

The company’s board was set to meet on Wednesday to decide the future of CEO Jensen Huang as the chipmaker’s chief faces fresh allegations of infidelity following reports of an affair with a woman alleged to have spied for China.

The board was conducting an independent investigation after Huang admitted to infidelity in an email to employees.

Huang had an affair with Nvidia’s vice president of health care, Kimberly Powell, according to the reports. However, this is the second affair allegation reported against him.

They have also claimed that an earlier affair involved a Chinese executive, Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, whom US intelligence agencies reportedly believe was a Chinese spy.

These claims have not been independently verified.

The shares of the company have fallen as much as 10% in post-market trading in New York on Wednesday and 13% over 5 days.

If the post-market losses hold, the company is set to slip below $4 trillion in market capitalization once cash trading resumes.
