Paytm founder responds to Musk backing petition to reinstate Jensen Huang as Nvidia CEO
Elon Musk publicly backed a petition to reinstate Jensen Huang as Nvidia CEO, prompting a reaction from Paytm founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma. Huang resigned from his roles on November 12, 2026, with CFO Colette Kress serving as interim CEO. On Friday, Musk wrote on X, "A petition is underway to reinstate Jensen and I’m signing it too," without naming the specific effort. Sharma responded, "Elon loves Jensen so much," as social media users debated whether Huang's business achievements should be separated from personal controversies. Nvidia continues its search for a permanent successor, and it remains unclear if employee calls for Huang's reinstatement will influence the board's decision. Some users speculated Huang could join Musk's ventures, though Musk's support does not guarantee his return.
