More than 68,000 signatures demand Jensen Huang’s return as CEO

The “Stand with Jensen” campaign has attracted more than 68,000 signatures, including nearly 37,000 shareholders and 4,800 former and current employees.

According to the letter, Jensen was pushed out before he had a proper chance to explain himself. They are calling on Nvidia to reinstate him as CEO while an independent investigation is underway, and demanding that the board publicly disclose the grounds for its decision.

Elon Musk also confirmed that he had signed the letter and wholeheartedly supports Jensen’s return. Alongside Musk, many other prominent tech figures have signed, including Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney, Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan, Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke — and Binance co-founder Yi He.

In late 2023, Sam Altman was fired by OpenAI’s board, but just five days later he was back in the CEO’s chair after almost the entire staff threatened to quit alongside him.

$NVDA Friday’s session closed at $162.85, down 2.01% — a drop of around 33% from its October peak.

Can Jensen pull off a similar comeback?
