Elon Musk joins petition to bring Jensen Huang back as Nvidia CEO
Musk said he would sign a petition as employees and public figures urged Nvidia to reconsider Huang’s exit after his abrupt resignation.
- On November 12, Nvidia CEO Huang resigned after 33-year leadership following reports of multiple extramarital relationships, including one with Alice Huang, whom US authorities suspected of having links to Chinese intelligence services.
- Nvidia shares fell 4.3% on November 12, declining as much as 14% during the session, and another 3% Friday, extending a six-week losing streak as the board initiated an independent investigation on November 8.
- SpaceX CEO Elon Musk backed a petition to reinstate Huang on Friday, replying to Tesla Superintelligence engineer Yun-Ta Tsai, saying "A petition is underway to reinstate Jensen, and I'm signing it too." An internal employee suggestion platform attracted more than 1,600 comments.
- Nvidia board approached Arm Holdings CEO Rene Haas as a potential successor, while Colette Kress is currently serving as interim CEO as the board considers both internal and external candidates for the permanent role.
- A Reuters report alleged on Friday that Huang had an intimate relationship with a second company employee, citing two people familiar with the matter, though Nvidia board stated it has no reason to believe US national security or trade secrets were compromised.
