Elon Musk open to hiring Jensen Huang as Nvidia’s future hangs in the balance.

Musk made the comment on X after being urged to recruit Huang, whose future at Nvidia is now under intense scrutiny following allegations of two extramarital affairs.

One of the women involved has reportedly been suspected by US authorities of spying for China.

Nvidia’s board is said to be investigating whether Huang was targeted in a foreign intelligence operation, after he admitted to an affair with a Singapore-based executive.

Reports have also alleged a second relationship with a senior Nvidia employee.

The allegations have sent shockwaves through Silicon Valley and raised questions over the future of the company at the centre of the global AI boom.

Huang co-founded Nvidia in 1993 and turned it into the dominant supplier of chips powering artificial intelligence, data centres and cloud computing.

His possible removal would mark one of the most dramatic leadership crises in modern corporate history, with investors, governments and technology firms watching closely.

Musk’s offer has added a new layer of drama to the unfolding saga. By publicly backing Huang, the Tesla and SpaceX chief has signalled that one of the world’s most influential tech leaders could have a landing spot if Nvidia decides to act.

The comments also highlight the fierce competition for AI talent, as companies race to secure the people capable of leading the next phase of the technology revolution.

Nvidia has not confirmed whether it plans to remove Huang, but the board’s investigation and the growing political sensitivity of the allegations mean the pressure on the company’s co-founder is intensifying.
