U.S. elites including Elon Musk and Bill Ackman have voiced their support for Jensen Huang, stating that "personal mistakes" should not overshadow his career achievements.

Following the cheating scandal involving Jensen Huang, U.S. elite circles represented by Elon Musk and Bill Ackman immediately took to social media to voice support for his "responsible" approach, advocating for leniency toward his personal mistake. Musk retweeted and added "Agree" to a comment from Sequoia Capital partner Shaun Maguire, who stated, "Jensen Huang is one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time. He did an extremely stupid thing, but I suspect he had no malicious intent. Two wrongs don't make a right, and I believe Jensen is irreplaceable to the United States' leadership in artificial intelligence." Bill Ackman posted, "Jensen Huang is an extraordinary person. Even extraordinary people make mistakes. He takes full responsibility, and he has done so. We should all support him and his family." Former U.S. President Donald Trump also strongly supported Jensen Huang immediately, saying, "Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is a good person who has made outstanding contributions to the United States. I believe Jensen Huang should continue to serve as Nvidia's CEO."
