space x with the founder tesla CEO Elon Musk said it’s an ‘honour’ to hire people with challenges Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said this after reports surfaced that Nvidia’s board may be preparing to oust Huang from the company.
Late Wednesday, economic blog ZeroHedge wrote about X, “Elon, please hire Jensen,” to which Musk replied, “That would be an honor.”
The post comes amid a Wall Street Journal report that Nvidia’s board is preparing to meet as soon as Wednesday to discuss Huang’s future at the company.
The report followed a New York Times article alleging that Huang had an extramarital affair with another Nvidia executive. As a result of these developments, Nvidia shares fell more than 8% in after-hours trading.
Fan and Nvidia have dominated the headlines since the weekend after Nvidia’s CEO admitted to having an extramarital affair with Alice Fan, a business executive identified by US intelligence agencies as having been recruited by China’s Ministry of State Security.
Alice Fan, also known by her Chinese name Fan Le, was recruited to gather information about Jensen, according to people briefed on the information cited by the New York Times.
Nvidia’s top executive tried to create an atmosphere of “business as usual” on his first day back in office after the revelations, but is now facing calls for his resignation from several members of Congress.
Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-Neb.), a member of the Senate Banking Committee, on Wednesday joined House Oversight Committee member Rep. Suhas Subramanyam (D-Va.) and retiring Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) in renewing their call for Mr. Hwang to resign.
“As a matter of his own conscience, he should resign,” Kramer told CNBC.
