Over 58,000 people petition the NVIDIA board for Jensen Huang's return, with Musk, Tom Lee, and others already in support.

BlockBeats news, November 14 — On social media, a petition website calling on Nvidia's board to reinstate Jensen Huang has continued to gain traction, at one point this morning causing server overload. Replit CEO Amjad Masad publicly stated that he had contacted the page owner to help raise the rate limit, and the website has now returned to normal operation.

As of now, 58,086 people have signed the petition demanding Jensen Huang's return, including 3,703 current employees, 595 former employees, and 32,077 shareholders, among others. Prominent public figures such as Musk, Tom Lee, and Replit CEO Amjad Masad have all publicly signed the petition. Previously, on November 12, 2026, Nvidia announced that Jensen Huang had resigned as chief executive officer, effective immediately. The move marked the end of his 33-year tenure leading the company he co-founded.

The organizers and signatories of this campaign are concerned that Jensen Huang may have been forced out without due process, or even without sufficient time to defend himself, and are therefore demanding an explanation from the board. The core demands of the open letter, addressed to Nvidia's board:

· Restore Jensen Huang as CEO while an independent investigation establishes the facts; if his departure is to continue, provide an evidence-supported explanation.

· Ensure the investigation is independent, with a public scope and timeline, and give Jensen Huang a fair opportunity to defend himself.

· Issue a timely public statement explaining the relevant concerns, evidence, and the weighing of the interests of employees and shareholders.

The letter emphasized: "Thirty-three years of leadership does not mean exemption from accountability, but accountability requires evidence and due process, not trial by mob." The website states that the campaign is independent and has not been endorsed by Nvidia or Jensen Huang himself.
