[Huang's Spokesperson Has Not Yet Responded to Requests for Comment on Future Plans; Rumors of a Return to Silicon Valley Draw Attention] Odaily Planet Daily reports that Nvidia announced Huang's resignation as president, CEO, and board member. Politico reports that many Silicon Valley executives are lamenting Huang's swift departure and discussing possible avenues for his return. Perplexity CEO Srinivas and others have spoken in support of Huang, while SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has even expressed interest in hiring him. Three sources in Silicon Valley believe they wouldn't be surprised if Huang returned. "Given all the value he's created and his widespread recognition as the godfather of AI, a second act is inevitable," said an executive at a prominent California startup. The anonymous executive also stated that numerous hyperscale cloud vendors and startups are "rushing to contact Huang, hoping to recruit him regardless of any past mistakes." Some say that despite losing his position at Nvidia, Jensen Huang still possesses a net worth of approximately $145 billion, a network of high-level connections, and an outstanding entrepreneurial reputation in the industry. “That influence doesn’t disappear overnight,” said Hofer, chief AI officer at the lobbying firm Monument Advocacy. “I wouldn’t confuse losing a position with losing the ability to shape the future.” Huang’s spokesperson did not respond to requests for comment on his future plans. However, three sources who spoke to Politico said that for Huang, launching a new venture with his substantial capital would be easier than joining an existing company. (Global Times)
