Open Letter Asking NVIDIA to Reinstate Jensen Huang Passes 115,000 Signatures
More than 115,000 people have signed "Stand with Jensen," an open letter asking NVIDIA's board to bring back Jensen Huang as CEO. Huang resigned on November 12, with CFO Colette Kress stepping in as interim CEO. At the time of writing, the campaign site lists over 5,900 signers as current NVIDIA employees, about 1,100 as former employees, and more than 62,000 as shareholders. The site notes those affiliations are self-reported and unverified. Elon Musk said on X that he signed the letter, and Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney is also listed among the signers.
The letter asks the board to reinstate Huang while an independent investigation runs, give him a fair hearing, and publicly explain its decision. The organizers argue he was removed "without meaningful due process." The resignation came days after the board opened an investigation into reports that Huang was the target of a foreign intelligence effort through a relationship with a suspected Chinese spy. Huang admitted to infidelity in a November 8 email to staff, and a second relationship with an NVIDIA executive was reported shortly after.
While Huang certainly has support, new allegations have also surfaced since his exit. The Wall Street Journal has reported that Huang pushed NVIDIA to invest in AI startups and smaller cloud providers that would then buy its GPUs, apparently to absorb an "avalanche" of chips ordered from TSMC. Kress reportedly argued for scaling back these deals in an August meeting. NVIDIA has previously rejected the circular financing label. The company gave no reason for the resignation and says it hasn't formally engaged with any CEO candidates yet. NVIDIA reports its Q3 results on November 17, its first since the change at the top.

There were so many eggs in one basket at NVIDIA that this could be really rough for a while, so let’s just pretend everything is fine.
I'm not surprised scummy a#$holes like Musk and Sweeny signed the petition though.
And even if lately he supported open source projects, released models, etc. Nvidia has a long story of closed tech negatively affecting the consumer, remember G-Sync?
It was like Freesync but only for Nvidia and making monitors way more expensive by requiring extra hardware from Nvidia
The issue is, who can replace him?
My personal view is that he was forced out, and that there are many, many things that are unexplained and don't match the official rhetoric. Yet it remains that Nvidia is crazy valuable and of particular interest to the powers that be, I genuinely think that there is a huge conflict of interest between what Jensen does and what others want him to do - I personally support him regardless, I don't think Nvidia is Nvidia without him at the helm.
JHH is Nvidia and Nvidia is JHH - without JHH there is no Nvidia, and without Nvidia there is no JHH. He is Nvidia's soul, take him out and you have taken the company out with him. Nvidia has no future, no foundation, and no road without Jensen, it will cease to be an innovator and will simply become a corporate monstrosity.
Also, 100K signatures, my ass. Likely mostly AI bots.
Regarding signing it - I wanted to - but funnily enough, their bot protection isn't letting me :p
That is allowing for the 5070, 80 and 90 series of cards be sold directly by Nvidia at their original MSRP [i.e. 5090 @ 2K; 5080 @ 1K, etc.]. They must also contune to sell them on a continuous basis. No 'limited run type deals.
Sounds good eh... Lol
Remember; no evidence yet exists to say he 'knowingly' assisted in or knew the true nature of the female 'spy'.
This of course doesn't suggest that he be completely exhonerated for his poor decisions in his private affairs.

Jensen doesn't make the company, the engineers, coders, and support staff do.
I can't imagine why people would treat a person like a celebrity who has turned the company into one of the most greedy anti-consumer anti-competitive companies in existence.
Ever since his crusade for maximizing corporate value with crypto, sending GPU's directly to mining farms, while every GPU was out of stock. Despite the bubble bursting prices never went back to normal.
And now the whole circular funded AI scam of nvidia apparently squandering away TSMC supply to cause a chip shortage, as well as GPU smuggling while his fans wanted to tell us it's just a shortage. Obviously gamers are tired of this greedy crap of the past decade from the jacket man having a direct negative influence on the whole gaming industry with controversial decisions and locking things behind a proprietary paywall.
I have no remorse for him being gone. The innovation in gaming hasn't happened in years anyway with the decision to sell the entire gaming industry on upscaling and AI frames. I would've expected Jensen to drop all but a few gaming cards or the entire line for Geforce now, because AI and pro cards using the same dies can sell for 10X the profit margin.
