Elon Musk believes Jensen Huang, the 61-year-old CEO of $3 trillion AI chipmaker Nvidia, has “absolutely the right mindset.”
Musk responded to a post on X on Sunday, highlighting a resurfaced clip from Huang's March interview at the 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 is beneath me.”

In the clip, Huang answers the question of why he is so committed to his employees and why he designed Nvidia as a “flat” organization with as little hierarchy as possible.
Absolutely the right attitude.

Huang further explains that when employees come to him and ask for help with an unclear or complicated issue, he helps them resolve the problem.

Huang co-founded Nvidia in 1993 at the age of 30 in a Denny's in San Jose, California. Fifteen years earlier, he had worked as a busboy at the same restaurant.

In a CNBC interview in May, Huang said it was “the most extraordinary thing that a normal dishwasher-busboy could become something like this.”
Nvidia is one of the “Magnificent Seven,” a term that describes Amazon, Alphabet, Apple, Meta, Nvidia, Microsoft, and Tesla in terms of their influence on the market.
