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.

## The facts

- The petition website listed more than 115,000 signatures, including 5,965 current Nvidia employees and 63,063 shareholders.
- Nvidia appointed CFO Colette Kress interim CEO.

## 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.
