Instagram user Weston Corey wrote: “I don't know who you are but I'm glad you enjoyed it.”
Zuckerberg replied: “He’s like Taylor Swift, but for technology.
He told another user that he was considering purchasing a similar black jacket.
“I'm thinking about getting one. But I bought a black shearling coat for Jensen's collection. I'll give it to him the next time I see him.”
He also revealed that the brown jacket is from a brand called Overland Sheepskin.
Another user asked Zuckerberg if he planned to buy Nvidia's H100 graphics processing unit (GPU) chip, to which he replied that he planned to buy the chipmaker's B100 chip.
The 61-year-old fan is believed to have a large collection of nearly identical black leather jackets.
In 2016, Huang participated in an Ask-me-Anything (AMA) session on Reddit, where he introduced himself: “I'm Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO of NVIDIA.” You might know me as “the guy in the leather jacket who repeats things three times.” Hahaha. “
He wore the signature jacket, black T-shirt and black pants when he met Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to India in September last year.
Jensen Huang co-founded graphics chip maker Nvidia Corp. in 1993 and currently owns about 3% of the company.
