SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said hiring NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang “would be an honor” in an X reply, while SpaceX shares topped $147 in trading on Nov. 12.
Musk responded to a post from ZeroHedge reading, “Elon please hire Jensen.” His reply did not identify a position, announce a job offer or describe a partnership.
ChartExchange recorded a Nov. 12 intraday high of $147.50 for SPCX shares, while Nexqual put the peak at $147.58. Both list the Nov. 11 close at $139.75; against that close, the reported highs were about 5.5% and 5.6% higher, respectively. The feeds differ on the peak, and neither establishes what drove the trading.
NVIDIA’s board said Nov. 8 that it had opened an independent investigation into reports that a foreign intelligence effort had targeted Huang. The board said the information available did not point to a compromise of national security or NVIDIA secrets, expressed support for Huang’s leadership and set no date for another update. NVIDIA’s management page lists Huang as founder, president and CEO.
