A petition to reinstate Jensen Huang as Nvidia CEO has over 100,000 signatures, including some big names

Organizers of the petition say some 50,000 shareholders and 5,000 current Nvidia employees, have signed their petition to bring back Jensen Huang.

A petition advocating for the reinstatement of former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has garnered over 100,000 signatures, among them high-profile figures like Elon Musk and Replit CEO Amjad Masad. The petition, titled "Stand with Jensen," claims to include more than 51,000 shareholders, over 5,100 current Nvidia employees, and nearly 900 former employees.

Huang resigned after admitting to an affair and an alleged affair with an Nvidia executive, which led to an investigation by the company's board into whether the affairs were part of a foreign intelligence operation. Despite the investigation, Huang was removed from his position without a formal due process, according to the petition.

The organizers of the petition argue that Huang deserves a fair opportunity to respond to the allegations, and request that Nvidia's board keep him as CEO while the investigation continues. The petition also garnered signatures from individuals such as Boom Supersonic CEO Blake Scholl and Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan.
