Tech executives sign petition demanding Nvidia reinstate Jensen Huang

A petition calling on Nvidia to reinstate recently ousted CEO Jensen Huang has gathered more than 115,000 signatures as of Saturday afternoon, according to the petition website, which said signers include 5,965 current Nvidia employees, 1,108 former employees, and 63,063 shareholders. Notable supporters include Elon Musk, Replit CEO Amjad Masad, and Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney; the petition says signers are concerned Huang was removed without meaningful due process and demands the board bring him back while an independent investigation establishes the facts. Huang resigned on Thursday, several days after confessing to an affair with a chip executive identified by U.S. intelligence as a suspected Chinese spy, and Nvidia appointed CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO while it searches for a permanent replacement.
