Elon Musk, other tech execs sign petition calling on Nvidia to reinstate Jensen Huang

The petition had attracted more than 115,000 signatures as of Saturday afternoon.

A petition, signed by over 115,000 individuals, is calling on Nvidia to reinstate former CEO Jensen Huang. The petition, which has attracted support from 5,965 current Nvidia employees, 1,108 former employees, and 63,063 shareholders, highlights concerns over Huang's removal without proper due process. Notable figures supporting the petition include Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Replit CEO Amjad Masad, and Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney.

The petition demands that the board bring Huang back while conducting an independent investigation into the matter. The petition also emphasizes the need for a fair investigation and more information to be provided to the public. Huang resigned following an admission of an affair with a suspected Chinese spy and multiple extramarital affairs.

Nvidia has appointed CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO while seeking a permanent replacement. The company's stock experienced a 2% drop following Huang's departure, and this move is anticipated to impact AI industry funding.
