## Summary

Elon Musk said it would be an “honour” to hire Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang, as Huang faces scrutiny over a reported affair with a business executive identified by US intelligence as having been recruited by China’s Ministry of State Security. The story places Musk’s comment against growing political pressure on Huang to leave his post.

Huang has sought to maintain a “business as usual” approach since the revelations emerged over the weekend. On Wednesday, Senator Kevin Cramer renewed his call for Huang to resign, joining Representatives Suhas Subramanyam and Don Bacon; Cramer said Huang should step down as a matter of conscience.
