Musk's companies are major users of AI computing technology and are also big buyers of Huida GPUs. The article refers to Oracle co-founder Ellison's support for Hurd, who was fired from HP in 2010.

Huida CEO Jensen Huang has been embroiled in sexual scandals and espionage accusations one after another. Huida's board of directors has launched an investigation and will hold a meeting to discuss whether to replace the co-founder and CEO. The news has caused a shock in the industry and made the outside world curious. Where will Jensen Huang's next stop be after he leaves? In this regard, SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk came to the rescue. He responded on social media, saying that hiring Huang Renxun to join the team would "be my honor."

The Wall Street Journal reported that Huida’s board of directors was preparing to replace Huang after his second extramarital affair was exposed.

"Business Insider" pointed out that Musk's response was reminiscent of another scandal in Silicon Valley that year.

Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison publicly expressed support for then-HP CEO Mark Hurd in 2010. At the time, HP's board of directors forced Hurd to resign after investigating incidents involving sexual harassment allegations and false expense claims records. HP's board found no evidence of sexual harassment, but fired Hurd over expense reimbursement issues.

Ellison went a step further and hired Hurd as Oracle's co-president just weeks later. Hurd later became Oracle's co-chief executive until his death in 2019.

Huang Renxun co-founded Huida in 1993 and has become one of the most influential figures in the artificial intelligence (AI) industry. Musk's companies are major users of AI computing technology and are also large buyers of Huida GPUs, so Huang Renxun's expertise is extremely valuable to these companies.

However, the report also pointed out that Musk’s remarks only expressed his intention to hire Huang Renxun and were not a formal job offer.
