Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Joins X to Promote Open AI

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang joined the social media platform X in July 2026, adopting a persona dedicated to explaining complex artificial intelligence concepts. Huang stated he overcame his shyness to join the platform because his first post, a July 24 letter advocating for open AI models, was "too important to the industry and too important to the world."

This advocacy for open models aligns with the business interests of Nvidia, as the wider availability of AI technology encourages more companies to build AI systems and purchase the company's chips. While an Nvidia representative described Huang's decision to join the platform as a personal one, the company is concurrently expanding its professional social media operations.

Nvidia is currently hiring a senior manager of social media with a base salary of up to $299,000. This role is intended to translate the company's business priorities into engaging stories for a broader audience.
