The petition asks Nvidia’s board to reinstate Jensen Huang while an independent investigation examines his departure. It says he was removed without “meaningful due process” and calls for the board to share more information.
Huang resigned on Thursday after acknowledging an affair with a chip executive whom U.S. intelligence identified as a suspected Chinese spy, TechCrunch reports. Nvidia named CFO Colette Kress interim CEO while it looks for a permanent replacement. Signers include Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, Replit CEO Amjad Masad and Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney.
Why it matters
Nvidia employees and shareholders are among the petition’s signers, but the board’s response and whether Huang could return remain unknown.
