Musk says it would be ‘an honor’ to hire Nvidia’s ousted Jensen Huang | 12 Nov 2026 | Elon Musk said it would be an “honor” to hire Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, as the artificial intelligence chipmaker replaced its longtime leader amid reports of Huang’s extramarital affairs and potential national security concerns. “That would be an honor,” Musk wrote Wednesday on X in response to a post from financial blog Zerohedge that read: “Elon please hire Jensen.” Meanwhile, the controversy has weighed on Nvidia’s standing with Wall Street analysts. The chipmaker lost more than $427 billion in market capitalization during the first two trading sessions following Huang’s disclosure and the announcement of the board investigation.
