"Bring back Jensen Huang": Musk joins an online petition with more than 110,000 signatures
"Bring Back Jensen Huang": Musk Joins Online Petition Exceeding 110,000 Signatures
Musk joined the online petition "Stand With Jensen" calling for former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to be reinstated; signatures have exceeded 110,000, including about 60,000 shareholders and about 5,000 Nvidia employees, and Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney and Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan have also signed. Huang previously resigned over a rumored affair with a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy. Altimeter Capital CEO Brad Gerstner and Atreides Management founder Gavin Baker, who hold shares worth about 2 trillion Korean won and about 270 billion Korean won respectively, published an open letter to the board on X, saying Huang should receive a prudent process and avoid being hastily replaced before all facts are established, and asking the board to keep open the option of his return, but not demanding immediate reinstatement. Multiple Nvidia employees left comments in support, and one researcher cited the precedent of OpenAI employees demanding Sam Altman's return.
The specific composition of the investors' open letter and the 110,000-signature petition provides background for observing how the Nvidia board handles calls for the former CEO's return.
