Abstract:
Musk talked about Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on social media again. On November 12, local time, the well-known financial commentary account ZeroHedge posted a post on the social platform X, shouting to Musk: "Elon please hire Jensen" (Elon, please hire Huang Renxun).
To this, Musk personally replied: "That would be an honor."
This brief response quickly attracted the attention of netizens. Jensen Huang is the founder and CEO of Nvidia and one of the most influential figures in the global artificial intelligence chip industry. With the rapid development of generative AI, NVIDIA has become an important participant in the construction of global artificial intelligence infrastructure with its GPU and its AI computing platform.
Musk also runs Tesla, SpaceX and artificial intelligence company xAI and other businesses, and continues to increase investment in the fields of artificial intelligence, autonomous driving and robotics.
It is worth noting that although Musk expressed his high recognition of Huang Renxun in this response, it does not mean that the two parties have reached any arrangements for recruitment or cooperation.
The reason why this brief response attracted attention is closely related to the career crisis Huang Renxun has recently faced. On November 8, Huang Jensen admitted in an internal memo to his employees that he had been unfaithful to his wife and took full responsibility for it. At the same time, the media reported on November 11 that Huang Renxun also had an extramarital relationship with Kimberly Powell, vice president of Nvidia’s medical and health business. Relevant reports have further intensified the outside world's attention to his personal behavior and corporate governance issues.
Subsequently, media reports stated that Nvidia’s board of directors was preparing to remove Huang Renxun. However, as of November 12, Nvidia has not officially announced its removal decision.
Huang Renxun founded NVIDIA in 1993 and serves as CEO to this day. Under his leadership, Nvidia has grown from a graphics chip manufacturer to a core company in the global AI chip industry, becoming one of the most important beneficiaries of the artificial intelligence wave.
For Musk, Huang Renxun is also an important figure in the AI industry chain. The artificial intelligence training and data center construction of Tesla, xAI and other companies are closely related to Nvidia's GPU and computing platforms.
