MOSCOW, November 9 (HS/RIA Novosti) - US entrepreneur and billionaire Elon Musk on Monday expressed support for Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, following reports that he had a relationship with a woman whom US intelligence services allegedly consider an informant for Chinese intelligence.

On November 6, The New York Times reported that US intelligence had concluded that a Chinese business executive, Alice Huang, who had built a close relationship with the head of Nvidia, was a source for entities allegedly linked to the Chinese government. The article provided no evidence to support its claims. Nvidia's board of directors has already announced the launch of an independent investigation.

I agree, Musk wrote on X in response to a post saying that Jensen Huang had done something incredibly dumb, but with no bad intention.

The author of that post also said that, in his view, Huang was one of the greatest entrepreneurs of this generation.

Earlier in the day, Nvidia spokesperson John Rizzo said that Huang intends to continue in his position.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun stated that allegations of so-called Chinese espionage in the case involving the head of Nvidia are completely groundless.
