Musk says Nvidia risks losing handshake deals without Jensen Huang

Elon Musk said Nvidia could lose “critical” deals after the departure of Jensen Huang, arguing in a post on X that many arrangements were based on personal handshakes with the former chief executive rather than written contracts.

Musk also credited Huang with managing Nvidia’s supply chain. Reuters reported the remarks as investors and customers assessed leadership risk at the chipmaker whose hardware underpins much of the AI infrastructure market.
