Elon Musk called for the return of Jensen Huang to Nvidia on Friday, saying he’d signed a petition for Huang’s reinstatement a day after the chip executive resigned following his admission of an affair with a woman who is alleged to be a Chinese spy.
“A petition is underway to reinstate Jensen and I’m signing it too,” Musk told his more than 240 million followers on X.
It was not immediately clear which petition Musk had signed but and the names of Musk and other prominent tech executives were listed on the site standwithjensen.com, where a petition with thousands of signatories said: “We are concerned that Jensen was removed without meaningful due process.”
Wired reported Thursday that a call for Huang’s return had internally circulated at Nvidia, with more than 1,600 comments — the majority of which supported him coming back.
Huang’s resignation came after he admitted to an affair with a woman alleged by some in the intelligence community to be a Chinese spy. Amid the fallout, Huang has garnered vocal support from President Donald Trump and Musk.
In response to one post suggesting that Musk hire Huang, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO replied: “That would be an honor.”
