BREAKING: Elon Musk says it would be an 'honor' to hire Nvidia's Jensen Huang, as Nvidia's board meets to decide the CEO's fate amid affair allegations. $NVDA

Elon Musk just offered Jensen Huang a job, in public, while Nvidia's board decides whether to fire him.

It started with a post on X from Zerohedge saying, Elon please hire Jensen. Musk replied, that would be an honor. Five words, posted while the Wall Street Journal says Nvidia's board could meet as soon as Wednesday to discuss removing the man who built the company. You can see the two of them together here, back when this would have been an absurd question.

The backdrop is ugly. Huang has acknowledged an affair with Alice Huang, an executive the New York Times reports was recruited by China's Ministry of State Security to gather information on him. Three lawmakers, including Senator Kevin Cramer, are now telling him to resign. Cramer put it bluntly, as a matter of his own conscience, he should.

So the most valuable chipmaker on earth may lose its founder, and the world's richest man is already circling. Keep an eye on where Jensen lands.
