Elon Musk has openly supported Jensen Huang after his sudden exit as Nvidia CEO. The Tesla and SpaceX chief has now said that he is ready to sign a petition seeking Huang’s return to the company.

“A petition is underway to reinstate Jensen and I’m signing it too,” Musk posted on X. His comment has quickly caught attention, especially as Huang’s exit has become a major talking point in the technology industry.

Huang stepped down as Nvidia CEO on November 12 after leading the company for 33 years. His resignation came amid reports of personal relationships that raised questions about his conduct and possible national security concerns. Nvidia CFO Colette Kress has taken over as interim CEO.

Musk is not the only prominent figure supporting Huang. Several Nvidia employees have also expressed their disappointment over his exit and want the company to consider bringing him back. An internal discussion on the matter reportedly received more than 1,600 comments, with most supporting Huang’s return.

Musk had earlier responded positively when a user suggested that he should bring Huang into his own business network. He simply said that it would be an honour. His latest post shows that he is also willing to support efforts to bring the former Nvidia chief back.

Huang’s exit is a major development for Nvidia, considering that he built the company into one of the biggest names in the global AI industry. His leadership played a key role in making Nvidia’s chips central to the current AI boom.

However, it is not clear whether the petition will have any impact on Nvidia’s decision. The company has already started looking for a permanent CEO, and the final call rests with its board. With Musk now openly backing Huang’s return, all eyes are on how Nvidia responds.
