Elon Musk said Wednesday that it would be an honor to hire Jensen Huang, publicly signaling interest in working with the former Nvidia chief executive following his departure from the semiconductor company.

Musk made the comment on X in response to a post from the financial news account ZeroHedge, which urged him to hire Huang. "That would be an honor," Musk replied.

The exchange came as Nvidia's board was weighing Huang's future amid reports of multiple extramarital relationships and concerns surrounding one woman's alleged connections to Chinese intelligence. Nvidia subsequently confirmed Thursday that Huang had resigned as CEO, president, and a member of the company's board, effective immediately.

Musk did not identify which of his companies might employ Huang or specify a potential position. His response also did not constitute a formal job offer, and neither executive has announced plans to work together.

Huang co-founded Nvidia in 1993 and spent decades building the company into a leading supplier of processors and computing infrastructure used throughout the Super Intelligence industry. His experience in semiconductor development, manufacturing partnerships, and large-scale computing could be relevant to Musk's businesses, including Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI, which have substantial computing and technology ambitions.

The two executives have previously expressed admiration for each other's work. Musk's companies also have business ties to Nvidia, whose processors are used in Tesla's computing infrastructure and other projects. Huang has previously praised Musk's efforts to develop semiconductor manufacturing capabilities.

Musk's public response leaves open the possibility of a future working relationship, but no hiring agreement or recruitment discussions have been announced.
