Musk backs Jensen Huang's return as Nvidia CEO
Elon Musk has publicly supported reinstating Jensen Huang as Nvidia's CEO, saying he would sign a petition backing the former leader who resigned following a scandal. Musk made the statement on X on November 13. The petition, circulated among Nvidia employees via an internal suggestion system, gathered over 1,600 comments, mostly in favor of Huang's return. He also received public support from President Donald Trump after his resignation. Huang stepped down as president, CEO, and board member on November 12 following reports of two extramarital affairs, including one with a former Singaporean executive allegedly linked to intelligence concerns. CFO Colette Kress is serving as interim CEO while the company begins its search for a permanent replacement.
