KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 15 — Elon Musk and other technology executives have backed a campaign urging Nvidia to restore co-founder Jensen Huang as chief executive while an investigation into the controversy surrounding his departure continues.
Business Insider reported that the “Stand with Jensen” petition had attracted about 97,000 signatures by Saturday morning, with Musk and Replit chief executive Amjad Masad promoting it on X.
The campaign website claimed the signatories included more than 51,000 shareholders, over 5,100 current Nvidia employees and nearly 900 former employees, although those affiliations were self-reported and unverified.
Organisers said on Saturday they were working to remove fake signatures after entries appeared under names including “Tim Cruise, Hollywood actor” and “Xi Jingping”, according to the report.
