A Nvidia announced this Thursday, November 12, that Jensen Huang has decided to abandon the position of CEO he has occupied over the past 33 years – thus not resisting the scandal of an extramarital relationship with a potential spy at the service of the Chinese government.
Throughout the week there were several voices that were favorable to Huang's stay in office, with one being that of Epic Games founder and CEO Tim Sweeney.
The executive president of the video game producer responsible for “Fortnite” shared a publication on social network X condemning the possibility of Nvidia pushing Jensen Huang away. Sweeney even considered that this was as bad a decision as Apple made in 1985 to push Steve Jobs away.
“ Save Jensen [Huang]”Start by declaring Tim Sweeney. “[Dismiss Jensen Huang] would be an idiotic part of the board of Nvidia at Apple level to fire Steve Jobs and a huge loss to the US”.
Epic Games leader categorized Huang as someone “visionary that is driving the future of technology”, remembering that starting with the work on graphics cards for games, even the CUDA chips, Jensen Huang has made a remarkable contribution to the arrival of new technologies.
Save Jensen. This would be an Apple firing Steve. Jobs level of idiocy from NVIDIA’s board if they did that, and a grievous harmony to the United States of America. The world truly is the visionary driver of the future of technology from the gaming GPU was to CUDA to AI supercomputers.

Elon Musk is hiring CEO of Nvidia? “It would be an honor”
The current state of Nvidia created uncertainty between the investors and shareholders of the company, with the company's followers showing support for Huang as he held the CEO position for the last 33 years. Furthermore, Jensen Huang was also responsible for Nvidia's transition from graphics cards to video games to chips dedicated to Artificial Intelligence – which helped make Nvidia one of the most valuable companies in the world.
Prior to the announcement that Huang abandoned Nvidia's leadership, a page on social network X made a publication where he asked Elon Musk to hire Jensen Huang in case he stopped being CEO.
“It would be an honor”, wrote simply the multimillion-dollar tycoon. Although (at first) this may seem like a “levian” comment from Musk, it is good to remember that the owner of SpaceX has been increasingly seeking to install himself in the area of infrastructure development for Artificial Intelligence.
