Petition to reinstate Jensen Huang gains traction
A petition has been circulating to reinstate former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang after his resignation on November 12. The online campaign, called "Stand with Jensen," has garnered over 132,000 signatures, with notable signatories including Elon Musk, Replit CEO Amjad Masad, Boom Supersonic CEO Blake Scholl, and Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan. The petition argues that the board of directors removed Huang without proper investigation and due process.
The petition, hosted on the Stand with Jensen website, claims to have over 58,000 shareholders, 5,600 current Nvidia employees, and more than 1,000 former employees supporting the cause. One Nvidia employee who signed the letter expressed concern over the lack of due process and emphasized that Huang's contributions to the company deserve fairness now.
The organizers have stated that they are actively working to remove fake signatures and a post expressing similar sentiments appeared on an internal Nvidia portal. The petition argues that an independent investigation must be conducted to establish the facts, particularly regarding the allegation of espionage against Huang's wife, Alice Huang.
The petition demands that Nvidia's board take three actions: reinstate Huang as CEO, initiate an independent investigation, and provide a public explanation of the concerns and evidence supporting their decision.
