Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang believes Elon Musk’s humanoid robot, Optimus, has the potential to revolutionize the global economy and even generate a multi-trillion dollar industry. In an interview with Bloomberg, Huang praised Musk’s ingenuity, noting his projects, from Tesla’s self-driving cars to xAI’s Grok chatbot, have consistently pushed technological boundaries and will reshape industries. This optimism comes as the chipmaker surpassed Wall Street expectations on earnings, reporting a record $44.06 billion in revenue, beating the forecast by $3.31 billion. The company also reported strong performance in its data center business, where revenue surged 73% year-over-year, contributing to a stock price increase of approximately 6%. However, China’s export restrictions on Nvidia’s chips cast a shadow over future sales. Although Huang acknowledges the challenges of this environment, he maintains a positive outlook on the robotics space, stating that Optimus is poised for significant expansion and further collaboration with Tesla. This view aligns with Nvidia’s prominent role in the growing AI sector, where demand for generative and reasoning AI has soared. The company recently faced an $8 billion revenue decline due to US export controls on its chips in China. However, Huang emphasizes that this drop is offset by the increasing demand for advanced AI models like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok. He notes that Nvidia’s next-generation chips are perfectly timed to meet this surge. Furthermore, Huang acknowledges the competitive landscape in China, noting its significant AI market despite geopolitical tensions and the rise of domestic players like Huawei. While acknowledging the need for Chinese companies to develop their own AI ecosystem, he believes American technology businesses can still thrive. Huang is also optimistic about US policy initiatives supporting reshoring manufacturing and promoting US AI leadership globally. **In addition, he plans a multi-country trip to Europe to support the development of national AI infrastructure across France, the UK, Germany, and Belgium.** Overall, this optimism has fueled Nvidia’s share price surge, which jumped over 6% pre-market trading and could reach $143.23 when the market opens.**
