Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son recently shared a few laughs and some bittersweet memories at the AI Summit in Tokyo. At the center of their banter? SoftBank’s former role as Nvidia’s largest shareholder – and how they decided to let that golden opportunity slip away.

During their talk, Huang jokingly said, “We can cry together,” hugging Son on stage as they remembered what might have been. Son, not missing a beat, added that he had to “tearfully” sell those shares. Huang even shared that Son once offered him financial backing to buy Nvidia outright – something he now wishes he'd taken. “That was a great idea,” Huang said, with a hint of regret.

Huang praised Son for being a visionary who has consistently backed winning innovators like Bill Gates, Jerry Yang and Steve Jobs. Son has a talent for recognizing big opportunities and helping establish major tech moments, from bringing Gates and Jobs to Japan to making Alibaba’s success possible in China. Yet, even with all those successes, the missed Nvidia chance still stings.
