Public speaking might look effortless for tech titans, but Nvidia Corporation CEO Jensen Huang and other Silicon Valley leaders, including Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Warren Buffett, have all admitted to struggling with stage fright.

What Happened: Last year in December, Huang, known for his cool demeanor and signature leather jacket, revealed in a “CBS 60 Minutes” interview that public speaking terrifies him.

Despite leading Nvidia—a company valued at $2.9 trillion—Huang admitted that stepping onto the stage at the GTC AI Conference was a nerve-wracking experience.

“I’m an engineer, I'm not a performer,” Huang said. “When I walked out there – and all of the people going crazy, it took the breath outta me. And so I was the scariest I’ve ever been. I’m still scared”
