Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has been in the limelight for the last few months. Be it unveiling Nvidia’s latest AI-powered processor or talking about the power of AI, the tech expert has often made headlines. And when he was recently seen in an Instagram photo with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, people started suspecting that something new is brewing. While we don’t know if Meta and Nvidia plan on collaborating on something new in future, what we do know is that Zuckerberg considers Huang to be the “Taylor Swift of the tech world.”
Zuckerberg shared a picture with the Nvidia CEO and captioned it, “Jersey Swap.” Instagram users started commenting on the picture as soon as it was posted. When one of the users asked who the Nvidia CEO was, Zuckerberg responded, “He’s like Taylor Swift, but for tech.”
On a related note, Meta is one of Nvidia’s biggest customers, having purchased hundreds of thousands of its previous generation of chips. In January 2024, Mark Zuckerberg, revealed that Meta would own more than 340,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs by the end of 2024. Meta’s AI plans include building an artificial intelligence system with the equivalent of 600,000 Nvidia GPUs.
Meanwhile, Zuckerberg has often talked about the importance of building connections. In an interview, the Meta CEO once said that while people are “objective focused,” they should not forget the importance of building relationships as they move forward in their lives.
In 2022, during an episode of the Lex Fridman Podcast, Zuckerberg had said that his initial ability to launch Facebook back in 2004 wasn’t because he dropped out of college or abandoned any of his other interests. Rather, the Meta CEO had explained that it was due to the personal connections he made while he was still a student.
According to Zuckerberg, who you spend time with in college is “the most important decision” you could make on campus. The Facebook founder then added that “you become the people you surround yourself with.” He also mentioned that he believed people were too focused on objectives and not enough on the connections and the people they were building relationships with.
“I think probably people are too, in general, objective focused, and maybe not focused enough on the connections and the people who they’re basically building relationships [with],” he had said.
In the same interview, Zuckerberg had also revealed how when assessing a job candidate, he would envision what it might be like to work alongside that individual rather than having them work under him.
“I will only bring someone onto my team if I could envision myself being part of theirs,” he had said.
