Gary Black Says Tesla Board Would Be Reluctant to Hire Jensen Huang, Warns Against Bringing Ex-Nvidia Chief Into Elon Musk's Empire

• Gary Black says Tesla's board would see hiring Jensen Huang as raising, not reducing, risk • Musk has said hiring Huang 'would be an honor'; Polymarket gives ~9% odds he joins SpaceX by end-2026 • Huang resigned as Nvidia CEO after affair allegations; Musk signed a petition for his reinstatement Investor Gary Black argued on X that Tesla's board would resist bringing former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang into Elon Musk's companies, saying public-company boards act to minimize risk, not maximize value, and that hiring Huang now wouldn't reduce risk. Black clarified he was referring to Tesla's board specifically, not Musk, who has shown openness to the idea. Musk previously called hiring Huang 'an honor' and said he signed a petition urging Nvidia to reinstate him. Huang resigned Thursday after 33 years at Nvidia amid reports of alleged affairs, including with a woman some U.S. intelligence officials reportedly suspect of ties to Chinese intelligence, and with another Nvidia executive. Polymarket traders put roughly 9% odds on Huang joining SpaceX by the end of 2026. Nvidia shares fell 2.01% Friday to $162.85.
