Jensen Huang gifted Zuckerberg a new leather jacket that he had been wearing for the past two hours. He said that the jacket was bought by his wife. To this Mark Zuckerberg replied, “This is worth more because it’s used."

In the conversation, Jensen Huang also recounted how he asked Meta CEO to cut tomatoes for cooking cheesesteak sandwiches together at his house.

“And so, Mark, I handed him a knife and he cut the tomatoes. Every single one of them are perfectly sliced, to the exact millimetre. But the really interesting thing is, I was expecting all the tomatoes to be sliced and kind of stacked up, kind of like a deck of cards,” he said, continuing, “But when I turned around, he said he needed another plate. And the reason for that was because of all of the tomatoes he cut, none of them touched each other. Once he separates one slice of tomato from the other tomato, they shall not touch again."
