Elon Musk confirmed on Friday, Nov. 13, that he signed a petition to reinstate Jensen Huang as Nvidia's CEO, posting on X: "A petition is underway to reinstate Jensen and I sign it too." The statement comes a day after Nvidia announced the resignation of its co-founder and only CEO in 33 years, after admitting to an extramarital affair with Alice Huang, a former Singapore executive linked by U.S. intelligence officials to the Chinese spy agency.
The "Stand with Jensen" campaign: Hosted on a volunteer-run website, the petition calls on the board of directors to bring Huang back while an independent investigation establishes the facts. The live counter lists more than 100,000 names, broken down as: 5,248 current Nvidia employees, 922 former employees, 53,233 shareholders, and 40,745 other supporters. Prominent signatories also include Tim Sweeney (Epic Games), Garry Tan (Y Combinator), Amjad Masad (Replit), Aidan Gomez (Cohere), and Yi He (co-founder of Binance). Musk is listed at the beginning as a shareholder.
Background for the resignation: Nvidia accepted Huang's resignation as chairman, CEO and board member on Nov. 11, according to a Form 8-K filing with the SEC. The board named CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO and Harvey Jones as the first chairman of the board in the company's history. The departure came after reports of Huang's extramarital affairs, including one with Alice Huang, whom U.S. intelligence officials suspect was recruited by China's top spy agency. Neither party has been charged with a crime.

Political pressure and Huang's response: Senator Tim Scott, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, asked Huang to testify on Dec. 3. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick agreed to appear. Meanwhile, Attorney General Todd Blanche said on Nov. 12 that no conclusions had been reached about whether Alice Huang was a spy. Beijing denied she is, and President Donald Trump said it's still unclear.
Internal support at Nvidia: An internal thread of suggestions asking the board to consider employee sentiment has gathered more than 1,600 comments, mostly in favor of Huang's return. One employee wrote, "If you believe in the mission, bring back THE boss." Another said Huang "needs a second chance."
