This is partly Musk's moral support for his colleague, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who cheated on his wife with an alleged Chinese spy, Mega Speed executive Alice Huang.
Against the background of publications about the possible intervention of the Chinese intelligence services in his personal life, the company's board of directors opened an independent investigation. The media discussed the illegal supply of huge quantities of the latest Nvidia chips to China through the mediation of Mega Speed.
Nvidia shares fell more than 6% in premarket trading in the US amid an investigation into the company's CEO Huang, writes Bloomberg.
But this is not just a nice gesture by Musk in support of his colleague, but an attempt to calm passions a little, since the scandal surrounding Nvidia threatens to worsen the ongoing "deflation" of the artificial intelligence bubble, from which the trillionaire's business is seriously suffering.
However, such a vague statement by Elon Musk may add to his problems, as the Democratic Party in the US, on the back of victory in the midterm elections and gaining a majority in both houses of Congress, may open investigations into the activities of the companies of Trump's scandalous ally and his role in limiting Starlink's activities for Ukraine. Even Trump himself is recovering from the scandal, does not recognize, but does not completely deny the introduction of restrictions by Musk personally.
Elon Musk will definitely not go to jail, Trump will pardon his friend, but the billionaire's companies may be cut off from the government's orders.
