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.

#ConjecturesExactly. That’s the right attitude. Not!Did you notice? It’s coming quite late.The various posts, malicious wishes, and insults here are pathetic.
By the way,
I have also signed. It truly cannot be that a person is declassed (labeled as a second-class citizen) simply because they have had an affair. As for certain speculations - and I repeat, I pay them no mind whatsoever. Especially not when they come from the USA, a country that, among other things, elected a convicted criminal (a sex offender) as its president.

So as to "giving" him access to proprietary information, my bet is he's already got that side of things all taken care of. I'm not endorsing the guy's behaviour one way or the other, but whatever his morals, he never struck me as being stupid.

This is a tech enthusiast forum, not Twitter/X.
Seeing a specialized forum like TPU fall into the news clickbait/biased side is the downfall of objectivity.
Keep your eyes peeled for that piano.
Edit for clarity: CEO has two affairs, one with a member of staff. He cheated on his wife and family. The staff affair (as has been posted already) will break the company rules (call it gross misconduct). It also places him at risk of blackmail (why there are such rules). Worshipping the guy and signing a petition to get him back is just naive, childish BS.
Whoever has signed that "open letter" is either a moron, has something to gain from it or both. 'nuff sed.
Definitely both!
It is definitely not a death threat. :kookoo:
