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.

Nadella on the other hand, he's def gotta go.
There is always economical discomforts (or even large problems) with the restructuring or collapse of a large company like NVIDIA, but again, I'm perfectly willing to endure them should the end be a less unfaithful future.
I can look past his personal indiscretions if his professional rap sheet is flawless, though. Meaning, if he is not involved with any Chinese surveillance agent or smuggling GPUs, I think he should be given a chance. That's my opinion though.
Getting him reinstated makes me think that they believe that their stock value will go back up and make more money after he is back, as greed is their only modus operandi.
ive never been able to watch him speak at press conferences for more then 2-3 minutes. he has no charm or charisma when he speaks. he also looks so pathetic trying to look cool with the alligator jacket at his age. very cringe
How is that flawless professionally?
"In hindsight it is looking like the thing that held up the market was the idea that the tech companies could do whatever they liked, no matter how dangerous or immoral, without consequences. The (new!) thought that companies might actually be held accountable for what they have done has completely spooked the market."

Meanwhile other billionaires that touched kids walk free and don't even get to be in the spotlight.
People have leverage on him for a variety of reasons to act in a way not in the best interests of the company ignoring the morals here.
A CEO needs to be laser locked on their responsibilities as a leader.
Just came across this on X. Relevant
Other CEOs have failed as husbands before and have been implied in scandals like this before, and they haven't been thrown out within days. Something is definitely up behind the scenes.
Firstly, his affairs are, obviously, reprehensible. Ultimately, it is between him, his wife, and children, and it is to them that he has to answer. Granted, the other affairs, being a breach of Nvidia code of conduct, become semi-public matters. As for Alice Huang, the spy allegations remain unproved as of writing.
Then, there is the circular financing, the GPU smuggling and whether he was in the know, all that stuff.
Gamers have, understandably, grievances against Jensen and the Leather Jacket, giving rise to many cheering his downfall.
Many "Nvidians," including high-ranking designers, have signed the petition, suggesting that he was not a bad boss and people either had a fondness for him or are afraid of the direction the company will take.
He was the one of the founders and CEO for 33 years, from the troubled days of the Riva 128, the glory of the GeForce, right down to the controversial present with AI.
Suspicious timeline of events. Agenda to get him out? If so, are those conspirators and who'll be put in charge more to be feared than Jensen? To secure hardware to power AI in war?
Worst case here is your email ends up on a spam list, woe is me :laugh:
But he is being hauled in front of congress and could be answering for some serious charges at some point.
