Petition with 133,000 signatures demands NVIDIA reinstate Jensen Huang as CEO
More than 133,000 people have signed a petition urging NVIDIA's board to reinstate co-founder Jensen Huang as CEO and launch an independent investigation into his sudden departure after 33 years. The petition, titled 'Stand with Jensen', includes 6,667 current employees, 1,251 former employees, and 72,265 shareholders among its signatories. It demands Huang's reinstatement pending a fair hearing, unless the board provides clear evidence his removal serves the company's interests. Huang resigned on November 12, with CFO Colette Kress named interim CEO. The campaign has drawn support from Elon Musk and other tech leaders, following unconfirmed reports linking his exit to allegations involving a businesswoman suspected of Chinese intelligence ties.
