Elon Musk Backs Petition to Reinstate Jensen Huang as Nvidia CEO
Elon Musk has joined a campaign to reinstate Jensen Huang as Nvidia's CEO, following Huang's resignation amid a scandal involving an affair and his mistress's alleged ties to Chinese intelligence. Musk announced his support on X, where he has over 240 million followers. Musk responded to reports that Nvidia employees are seeking Huang's return, stating he would sign a petition for his reinstatement. An internal employee appeal to the board, posted before Huang's departure, has gathered over 1,600 supportive comments, with some staff also emailing the board demanding explanations. Nvidia and board chair Harvey Jones have not commented on the employee appeals. The specific petition Musk referenced remains unidentified, and the situation unfolds amid broader employee dissatisfaction with the board's decision to oust Huang.
