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.

This is easily the most brainless, clueless nonsense I've seen this decade. :shadedshu: It only proves how many people truly desire to be sheep. :kookoo:

Reinstate him? A traitor to his country for greed and an openly anti consumer personality at the centre of Nvidia culture? The company can only improve with him gone. Anyone signing such a petition must share his abhorrent values.

Flock mentality on full display with this "open letter". Even without the scandal Jensen was a scumbag of highest order(anti competitive and monopolistic) and now people wanting him back are just showing their ignorance.

If there is a fair investigation and hearing he should be on the hook for treason at minimum. The circular financing scheme and alleged over ordering from TSMC to inflate stock value and cause a shortage seems like anti trust to me, but I might be wrong.
Those who like the values of anti-competitive greed, lies, and don't care if he cheated on his wife of 41 years must love the Nvidia culture, but I would argue it's culture except remove the u,r,e. It's absolute herd mentality thinking he can do no wrong.

"AI"( what we currently call Artificial Neural Networks) are 90 years old, it had already multiple "winters" and "bubbles".

If you think this AI bubble is the last one you are kidding yourself.

Neurons are the essence of thinking and life as we define it, as long there will be life, "AI" will keep
going.

Hecate91Interesting the thread has at least several superfans who signed the petition, IMHO mocking others at the price of GPU's while having the most expensive one worth it's weight in gold is some really sad irony.

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.
Agreed it's just disgusting behavior.

The nvidia he once made is no more, everyone knows well it's not just the CEO that drives the company forward. But being in the position allows him to do shady stuff you mentioned.

The moment the GPU can do more than graphics, it started to be used and sell for that instead of what it originally meant for. They started with physics, it didn't work, and later for crypto, it didn't work for long, and then this AI boom they artificially made to make profits. I really hope there is ASIC miners for AI where they don't need to use the power of GPU for doing AI.

Maybe create a poll on TPU?

1. Reinstate;
2. Lock him;
3. Create another GPU company?

He be like: I created NVIDIA once, i will re-create it again!

And half of NVIDIA staff will left NVIDIA.

But they both probably fight for A.I. market anyway. But hey, another GPU player (sad Intel KEKW).

There's apparently an entire group who wants Jensen back to his CEO seat.
Even if most of these signature numbers were inflated with AI shit, that is a shocking number.

Oppose this letter at all costs.

Isn't the negativity on full display here also an excellent example of flock mentality? There are many posts passing final and definitive judgment on any and all accusations, in any case, let this thread be the official record the next time anyone says that the TPU readership is Nv-biased, and I somehow got that from someone....

I wasn't thinking about any kind of supporter in particular when I made this post, nor was it aimed at them let alone you, but rest assured that I am not the only person who strongly opposes this petition.
See you later!

Hey, don't worry about it bro! Thought never crossed my mind. It's just an opportunity to use one of my favorite memes. See you later, friend! :)

I think so too, I read that people doing this petition because of the interim CEO, but I don't know the full story just rumor...

That is a good point, he built himself up into a position that allowed him to do shady things other CEO's would've gotten fired by the board for.
And GPU's being used for more than graphics was probably inevitable, however every time something comes along using GPU's it was by brute force. There may be more efficient ways of AI processing with ASICs and NPUs however CUDA created a reliance on datacenters buying Nvidia GPU's.

Plausible but I'd like to see some real proof of anything being staged, not just rumors or conspiracies.
Jensen's circular AI financing bubble and GPU smuggling would've gotten him investigated at minimum if regulatory agencies weren't asleep or possibly being paid off.

No. It's an example of everyone's frustration with how things turned out. We just happen to be doing it in unison.

As... gamers and home PC builders, yeah, I fully understand. I'm thinking of the big picture though. I have very reasonable doubt Jensen going makes things any better. I sincerely hope I am wrong

wonder if the ones who want him back are people who were benefiting from it. i.e. getting gpus on the cheap.

How so? How can ANYTHING get better with him continuing?

Really? I can easily see how things will get better.

Crazy things are coming, there's no stopping it. I wouldn't want to be Nadella right now either. That guy is next and his removal will be just as messy.
