Elon Musk believes 61-year-old CEO Jensen Huang 3 trillion dollars AI chip maker Nvidia has “absolutely the right approach.”
Musk responded to a post on X on Sunday, highlighting the rediscovered clip of Huang Interview in March at Stanford Graduate School of Business.
“No task is beneath me,” Huang says in the clip. “Remember, I used to be a dishwasher. I used to clean toilets… that’s life. So you can’t show me a task that’s beneath me.”
In the clip, Huang answers the query of why he is so committed to his employees and why he designed Nvidia as a “flat“an organization, or one in which hierarchy is as small as possible.
Definitely the right approach.
During the Covid toilet paper shortages, I made sure our factories and offices had toilet paper!

Huang explains that if an worker involves him for help with something that is unclear or complicated, he’ll help them think it through.

In May CNBC Huang said in an interview that it was “the most extraordinary thing that a normal busboy from a dishwasher could grow up to be like this.”
