SPACEX CEO Elon Musk said that NVIDIA will suffer from supply chain issues with former CEO Jensen Huang ousted.
“Jensen drove supply chain brilliantly at Nvidia, but many of those deals were a handshake with Jensen, not a written contract,” the Tesla CEO said in an X post.
“Without Jensen, at least some of those critical deals will be lost.”
Musk made the comment in response to an interview SemiAnalysis CEO Dylan Patel had with CNBC’s ‘Squawk Box Asia.’
“If Jensen gave me his word about compute delivery or I asked for components to be accelerated, he always came through,” Musk wrote in a separate post.
“Sure, we’d put together a purchase order at some point later, but I never for a second thought it wouldn’t happen.”
On Friday, Musk said there is a petition circulating to have Huang reinstated, and he will sign it.
Musk also called for the return of Huang to Nvidia on Friday, saying he’d signed a petition for Huang’s reinstatement.
