Musk backs petition to reinstate Jensen Huang as Nvidia CEO
Elon Musk has publicly supported a petition to reinstate Jensen Huang as Nvidia CEO, saying on X that he would sign it, following Huang's resignation on Thursday amid controversy over his extramarital affairs. Nvidia announced Huang's immediate resignation as president, CEO, and board member, with CFO Colette Kress appointed interim CEO. Reports indicate some Nvidia employees want Huang back, with an internal suggestion box post drawing over 1,600 comments urging the board to consider employee sentiment. Huang admitted to an extramarital affair, apologizing to employees and his family, while The New York Times identified the person as Chinese business executive Alice Huang, though China's foreign ministry dismissed spying allegations. Huang co-founded Nvidia over three decades ago.
