Petition to bring Jensen Huang back as Nvidia CEO gains traction online

Published November 15, 2026 · 4 sources

An online petition to reinstate Jensen Huang as Nvidia CEO has drawn tens of thousands of signatures, with Elon Musk reportedly among the signers, outlets report.

What happened

Tom's Hardware reports that an online petition calling for Jensen Huang to be reinstated as Nvidia CEO has gathered a large number of signatures. The headline cites over 130,000 signers, while the publisher's description mentions over 91,000, and the outlet says Elon Musk signed it.

Tom's Hardware also notes that not all Nvidia employees support Huang's return. Yahoo Finance reports that two hedge fund managers want Huang back and asks whether he could return as CEO.

The Washington Post reports that an affair involving the Nvidia CEO exposed a loophole Chinese firms use to access high-end chips. Mashable adds that Bowen Yang played the former Nvidia CEO in a Saturday Night Live cold open.

Context

Nvidia is a major maker of chips used in artificial intelligence and computing, and access to its high-end products by Chinese firms has been a recurring topic in markets and policy.

Why it matters

Leadership questions at a company as widely held as Nvidia can draw investor attention, though the sources do not say whether any change is planned.
