The Zhitong Finance App learned that Elon Musk said it would be an honor to hire Nvidia (NVDA.US) CEO Wong In-hoon. According to various media reports, Hwang In-hoon is at risk of being fired due to multiple extramarital affairs.

Musk responded to a post on X urging him to recruit Hwang In-hoon. Earlier, it was reported that Nvidia's board of directors is preparing to remove Huang Renxun, and the board of directors is meeting to consider a future without its founder. Hwang In-hoon got involved in a scandal after admitting that he had an affair with a woman. The crisis escalated further after reports further claimed that he was in a relationship with a direct subordinate.

Musk is the CEO of Tesla (TSLA.US). He has known Hwang In-hoon for at least ten years. Both of them visited China in a high-profile manner with US President Trump this year. Musk previously expressed his appreciation for Hwang In-hoon and said he expects to continue purchasing chips from Nvidia.

Nvidia is a key supplier of Tesla GPUs (graphics processing units), and Tesla uses it to train artificial intelligence models in the field of autonomous driving and robotics. Nvidia also supplies computing technology for Tesla's driver-assistance systems, but Tesla is developing its own chips.
