SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son offered to lend money to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang so he could buy Nvidia outright. Son believed that the market did not fully understand Nvidia’s potential at the time, but he saw the company’s future as incredibly promising. Even though Son was willing to help Huang acquire Nvidia, Huang declined the offer.
Now, Huang regrets that decision, especially because Nvidia has become one of the most valuable companies, particularly with the growth of AI.
