Epic Games head Tim Sweeney and entrepreneur Elon Musk publicly voiced support for NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, whose future at the company has come into question. Both businessmen believe that the departure of one of the main architects of the modern artificial intelligence industry would be a serious loss for the tech sector.
Tim Sweeney reacted rather sharply to reports of Huang’s potential firing. He called such a decision by Nvidia’s board of directors “stupidity on the level of firing Steve Jobs from Apple”.
Save Jensen. If NVIDIA’s board of directors really does this, it will be a serious mistake and cause immense damage to the US. He is the visionary who shaped the future of technology—from the era of gaming graphics cards through CUDA to modern supercomputers for artificial intelligence.
Musk also commented on the situation. An X user suggested that the entrepreneur hire Huang if he leaves NVIDIA. In response, the head of Tesla and SpaceX stated: “It would be an honor for me”.
