A petition to reinstate Jensen Huang as Nvidia CEO has over 100,000 signatures, including some big names

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned on Thursday after admitting to an affair. Nvidia is investigating whether the affair was a "foreign intelligence effort." Over 100,000 people have now signed a petition to reinstate Huang, including Elon Musk and others. Some people aren't ready to let former CEO Jensen Huang go. A petition to reinstate Huang as Nvidia's CEO has over 108,000 signatures as of Saturday afternoon, including prominent tech leaders such as billionaire Elon Musk and Replit CEO Amjad Masad. Both executives promoted the petition on X. A website for the campaign, dubbed "Stand with Jensen," said the list includes more than 58,000 shareholders, more than 5,600 current Nvidia employees, and over 1,000 former employees. It also, to be fair, included "Tim Cruise, Hollywood actor" and "Xi Jingping," a possibly misspelled reference to the Chinese leader. In an X post on Saturday, the organizers said they were "actively working" to remove fake signatures.
