Gil Luria, head of technology research at D.A. Davidson, joins BNN Bloomberg to discuss the latest on the tech sector.

Jensen Huang is considering a comeback as Nvidia’s chief executive, and has discussed with confidants the possibility of returning, the Financial Times reported on Sunday, citing people familiar with the matter.

One Huang ally told the FT they were putting together a “war room” of Silicon Valley executives to lobby for the former Nvidia chief’s return and would try to garner support from the White House.

“Everyone that matters in tech outside the frontier labs loves Jensen,” the person said, adding that the efforts had Huang’s support.

The report comes days after the FT reported that Nvidia’s board had approached British chipmaker Arm Holdings CEO Rene Haas in its search for a potential successor to Jensen Huang.
