Tesla CEO Elon Musk was not shy to share his thoughts about NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang amidst the controversies.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk backed Jensen Huang with a two-word reply. On November 8, 2026, Musk reposted a defense of the Nvidia chief on X and added, “I agree.” The post came from Shaun Maguire, a Sequoia Capital partner. Maguire called Huang one of the greatest entrepreneurs of this generation and also said he did something “incredibly dumb.”
“1) Jensen is one of the greatest entrepreneurs of this generation
2) he did something incredibly dumb
3) it was bad for America
4) but my guess is there was no bad intention
5) two mistakes don’t make a right, and I believe Jensen is irreplaceable for America’s AI leadership.” X user @shaunmmaguire November 8, 2026
Recently, Huang issued a company-wide email to Nvidia staff and admitted he was unfaithful to his wife. The board then ordered an independent review of whether he was targeted by foreign intelligence. Directors said they saw no reason to believe national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised. Musk also agreed the lapse was bad for America.

Huang has spent years urging Washington to let Nvidia sell to China. He argues that export bans backfire and hand Beijing the market. Meghan McCain pushed back and expressed her thoughts about tech oligarchs. The YouTuber believes they only care about their own personal wealth and power. She posted as Huang’s affair with a woman suspected of espionage stayed in the news.
President Trump is not among the critics. In a recent interview, the president said Huang should remain CEO.
“I think so. Sure.”
He called Huang an honorable man. Huang had “done an amazing job for our country,” Trump said. He saw no wrongdoing. Musk goes further. He rates a costly lapse as the misstep of a founder still central to American AI.
