The petition website demanding that Nvidia's board reinstate Jensen Huang has seen a surge in traffic, with over 11,000 signatures.

November 14 — On social media, a petition website demanding that the NVIDIA board reinstate Jensen Huang has seen a surge in traffic, at one point causing the server to overload. Replit CEO Amjad Masad publicly stated that he has contacted the page owner to help raise the rate limit, and the website has now returned to normal operation.

As of now, 11,098 people have signed the petition demanding Jensen Huang's return, including 1,652 current employees, 172 former employees, and 6,544 supporters. 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 the NVIDIA board:

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

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

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

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

Previously, Musk posted that the petition demanding the reinstatement of Jensen Huang at NVIDIA (NVDA.O) is underway, and I will also sign in support.
