Mark Zuckerberg says Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is basically the Taylor Swift of Tech
Mark Zuckerberg recently made a comparison between tech and music, stating that just as music has Taylor Swift, the tech industry has Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia. Zuckerberg's likened Huang to the pop star during an event on Tuesday, where the Meta chief posted a photo of himself and Huang swapping jackets in a "jersey swap."
Zuckerberg's admiration for Jensen Huang doesn't stop at just a comparison to a pop star. The CEO of Nvidia plays a vital role in Meta's future plans, particularly in Zuckerberg's vision for Meta to become a leading player in artificial intelligence. As part of this strategy, Meta has been accumulating a sizable stockpile of Nvidia's chips to facilitate the training and deployment of AI models.
Comparing Jensen Huang to Taylor Swift
When asked about Huang by a follower on Instagram, Zuckerberg replied, "He's like Taylor Swift, but for tech." This isn't the first time Huang has been associated with Swift, with some dubbing him as the tech world's version of the music icon.
Huang himself acknowledged the comparison during Nvidia's GPU Technology Conference, where he made a playful reference to Swift's intense training regime for her concerts.
Huang's Success and Nvidia's Growth
The tech industry's relentless pursuit of AI dominance has placed Nvidia, under Huang's leadership, in a prominent position. Last month, Nvidia's valuation soared to over $2 trillion, surpassing giants like Amazon and Alphabet. In fact, Nvidia's valuation now rivals the entire Chinese stock market, underscoring the company's remarkable growth and impact in the tech sector.
Representatives for Nvidia chose not to comment on Zuckerberg's remarks about Huang, indicating the significance of the relationship between Meta and Nvidia in shaping the future of artificial intelligence.
