Elon Musk says he would be honored to hire Jensen Huang. The sixty-three-year-old Nvidia CEO reportedly faces removal by his own board, following a scandal involving multiple extramarital affairs, including one with a woman the Trump administration reportedly suspected of being a foreign intelligence asset.(Alice Huang, the Singapore-based executive widely identified as the woman at the center of the spy claims, has not been formally charged with espionage at the time of this publication.)On X, after a user posted, “Elon please hire Jensen,” Musk replied,“That would be an honor.”Musk’s reply had reportedly crossed four million views on X within hours of the post. The crisis deepened when The New York Times reported that Huang had also allegedly maintained a relationship with one of his direct reports, reportedly sending Nvidia’s board to the table to weigh his future at the company. The American technology journalist, author, and podcast host Kara Swisher shared her take on the matter on Threads, where she has more than five hundred thousand followers, writing,“Their twisted souls get twistier.”(Swisher’s post reflects her personal characterization of both men and should be read as individual commentary, not as a statement of fact.)Source: https://www.threads.com/@karaswisher/post/Dfn8ND8ABrr?xmt=AQG095cbyP4axljj2MKoeuStr9xy15eIoJE5gAqrUJGawgHow Elon Musk was one of the few who believed in Jensen Huang when nobody else did:President Trump Participates In U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum At The Kennedy Center - Source: GettyThe story goes back nearly a decade. As per a report shared by Fortune, when Huang unveiled Nvidia’s DGX-1 at the company’s annual conference in 2016, he was met with silence. Nobody placed an order. Huang later recalled on the Joe Rogan Experience that when the machine was unveiled, the room gave him nothing but crickets, with one notable exception.Musk had heard about the supercomputer at a separate conference and told Huang he wanted one. Huang had originally designed the DGX-1 for Nvidia’s own engineers, so the request was a welcome surprise. He personally packed the machine, drove it up to San Francisco, and hand-delivered it to Musk at OpenAI’s office. When he signed the supercomputer to mark the occasion, he inscribed it in marker,“To Elon and the OpenAI Team! To the future of computing and humanity. I present you the world’s first DGX-1!”Elon Musk acknowledged the gift publicly on X, writing that he would like to thank Nvidia and Jensen for donating the first DGX-1 to OpenAI in support of democratizing AI. Huang, reflecting on the moment at a New York Times Dealbook Summit, later said,“I delivered to Elon the first AI supercomputer the world ever made. It took us five years to make it. It’s called a DGX, and it’s everywhere in the world today.”The professional bond between the two men grew well past that single delivery. Huang also revealed on the Joe Rogan Experience that he helped Elon Musk build the computers for the Tesla Model S and contributed to Tesla’s Full Self-Driving hardware. At the same New York Times event where Huang reflected on the DGX-1, Elon Musk referred to the Nvidia CEO as “awesome.” Their companies grew closer still, with Tesla and xAI reportedly spending billions on Nvidia chips annually.When Musk’s xAI startup built its Colossus supercomputer cluster using one hundred thousand Nvidia H100 GPUs in just nineteen days in 2024, Huang called it a feat that would normally take four years. As per a report shared by Entrepreneur, speaking on the BG2 Pod, Huang said,“As far as I know, there’s only one person in the world who could do that. Elon is singular in his understanding of engineering and construction and large systems.”On the same podcast, when hosts compared Elon Musk's mind to a supercomputer, Huang offered what has since become one of the more quoted lines from their public friendship. He called Musk “the ultimate GPU,” adding that the way Musk keeps scores of information in his head is “quite unique.” Huang also reportedly said he regretted not investing more in Musk’s xAI earlier, a gap Nvidia moved to close in 2026 when it committed up to two billion dollars in xAI equity as part of the startup's massive financing round.Nine years after that first San Francisco delivery, the pattern repeated itself one more time. As per the report shared by Benzinga, in October 2025, Huang personally hand-delivered Nvidia’s newest DGX Spark to Elon Musk at SpaceX’s Starbase facility in Texas, the second time he had shown up at Elon Musk's door with Nvidia’s latest machine as a gift. Standing there, Huang recalled how quiet the room had been in 2016 and told Musk,“It was just crickets, except for one person, and it was you.”Elon Musk posted about the delivery on X shortly after, writing,“This is the DGX Spark, which has 100 times more compute power per watt than the DGX-1. The DGX-1 was the first dedicated AI computer, which Jensen delivered to me at OpenAI in 2016!”(The professional history between the two men, while largely marked by mutual admiration, has not been without friction. Musk previously described Nvidia as monopolistic and at points pursued competing chip development at Tesla, though the two companies have continued to do significant business throughout.)
