Silicon Valley is discussing Jensen Huang's return to the "rule" of tech companies after his scandal-plagued departure from Nvidia.
Five tech industry sources told Politico they expect that to happen. Three others were less certain, but said they would not be surprised by his return.
The founder of the security technology company on the sensor, Palmer Lackey, and the head of the artificial intelligence embarrassment, Arvind Srinivas, have already come to Huang's defense. Elon Musk also stated that he would be honored to hire Huang.
An executive at the California startup who spoke to Politico on condition of anonymity called Huang's next career step inevitable.
Some of the publication's sources stated that after his resignation, he retains a fortune of about 145 billion dollars, connections with influential people and an entrepreneurial reputation in the industry.
