IT Home reported on November 12 that, shortly after acknowledging an extramarital affair, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has faced allegations of another affair, prompting Nvidia’s board to consider dismissing him.
After the news broke, several prominent figures in the tech industry spoke out on X. Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney took a particularly clear stance.
Sweeney called in a post to “save Jensen Huang.” “If Nvidia’s board actually does this, it would be as foolish as Apple firing Steve Jobs back then, and it would seriously harm U.S. interests. From the era of gaming GPUs to CUDA and then AI supercomputers, Jensen has always been a visionary who has led the future development of technology.”
The same day, an X user suggested that Elon Musk hire Huang. Musk replied, “It would be my honor.”
According to IT Home’s earlier reporting, Nvidia’s board held a meeting to discuss whether Huang would stay, but no final decision has been announced.
