Musk: A petition to reinstate Jensen Huang as NVIDIA CEO is underway, and I will sign it too.

Elon Musk said on X that a petition calling for Jensen Huang to be reinstated as Nvidia’s CEO is underway and that he would sign it as well. The post Musk replied to, from X user Yun-Ta Tsai, argued that Nvidia employees who want Huang back should collectively resign under the slogan “Nvidia is nothing without its employees,” contending that top GPU engineers are harder to find and replace than machine-learning engineers and that engineers, not the board, determine the company’s mission. The exchange follows an internal employee petition at Nvidia urging Huang’s return to the CEO role. The episode puts Nvidia’s leadership and board under public scrutiny, with attention now on whether the internal petition gains broader employee backing and whether Musk’s endorsement amplifies pressure on the company’s governance.
