Jensen Huang resigns from all positions at Nvidia, and Musk publicly says overnight that he would be willing to hire him.

The Nvidia board’s announcement came out in a hurry.
Jensen Huang resigned as president, CEO, and a board member.
Effective immediately.
There was no transition period, and he didn’t even keep his board seat.
He handed over the chip company he founded more than 30 years ago just like that.
It followed two private relationship scandals successively exposed by the media.
One report said one case involved a woman suspected by U.S. investigative agencies of being an intelligence operative for the Chinese Communist Party.
The board couldn’t pretend it hadn’t happened.
Nvidia then appointed CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO and established an independent board chair.
Now, look at Musk’s response.
Someone called on social media for Musk to bring Huang on board.
Last night, Musk publicly replied: It would be an honor to hire Jensen Huang.
Note that this is still just a public expression of interest.
Musk didn’t mention a specific role or disclose whether the two sides had begun formal discussions. But he has Tesla’s self-driving technology and xAI’s computing clusters, and what he needs most is someone who understands chip architecture and hardware-software integration.
And what Huang has in abundance is precisely that technical expertise.
If Huang really goes to help Musk, the division of labor across the entire industry will change.
Nvidia will have to hold on to its customers and supply chain, and prove it can keep running without Huang.
If Musk really brings this veteran chipmaker on board, his computing power advantage will effectively double.
So where will Huang go next?
Will he retire for good, or keep building chips somewhere else?
We’ll have to wait and see what he does next.
