Tech Leaders Petition Nvidia to Reinstate Jensen Huang as CEO
A petition urging Nvidia to reinstate former CEO Jensen Huang had gathered more than 115,000 signatures by Saturday afternoon. The website listed 5,965 current Nvidia employees, 1,108 former employees, and 63,063 shareholders among the signers.
Supporters include Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, Replit CEO Amjad Masad, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney, and Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan.
The petition’s signers say they are concerned Huang was removed without meaningful due process. They call on Nvidia’s board to bring him back while an independent investigation establishes the facts, ensure the investigation is fair, and share more information publicly. “Jensen deserves due process, not mob justice,” the petition states.
Huang resigned Thursday, four days after admitting to an affair with a chip executive suspected by U.S. intelligence of being a Chinese spy. He has agreed to testify before Congress. Reports have also alleged that he had other extramarital affairs.
Nvidia has appointed CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO while it looks for a permanent successor. The company’s stock fell sharply during the week, and Huang’s departure is expected to affect funding for AI startups.
