Jensen Huang, the CEO of chip technology giant Nvidia, confirmed on Tuesday that the company is contributing to President Donald Trump’s ballroom project at the White House.
“First of all, I’m incredibly proud and delighted to help contribute in a small way to what will clearly be a historic and national monument for our country,” Huang told reporters at a panel with Energy Secretary Chris Wright at Nvidia’s GPU Technology Conference in Washington.
CBS News reported last week that Nvidia was among the 37 donors that would contribute to the construction of the estimated $300 million presidential ballroom. Donors, including other tech giants like Google and Amazon, can reportedly have their names engraved inside the White House in exchange for contributing to the project.
