On November 13, Elon Musk once again showed support for Nvidia’s co-founder and former CEO Jensen Huang amid his affair controversy. In his recent tweet, the Tesla mogul said a petition to reinstate Huang as Nvidia CEO is “underway” and that he would sign it. Earlier on November 12, Jensen officially stepped down as the company’s CEO due to mounting pressure from his alleged extramarital affairs.

Musk reacted to a post shared by @yunta_tsai, which suggested Nvidia employees should make efforts if they want Jensen back. The X user wrote:

“If NVIDIA employees want Jensen back, they should start with “NVIDIA is nothing without its people” - resign and chill. Good GPU engineers are very hard to find and even harder to replace than ML engineers.”

It further read:

“Engineers should take their destiny into their own hands if they love the company. They shape and deliver the company mission, not the boards.”

To this, Elon Musk replied, saying:

“A petition is underway to reinstate Jensen, and I’m signing it too”

As per reports, Nvidia staff and employees have launched multiple petitions to reinstate Huang after his abrupt resignation.


Elon Musk said it would be an “honor” to hire Jensen Huang

On November 12, the Starlink founder reacted to another tweet, which requested him to hire Jensen Huang following his exit from Nvidia. In response to @zerohedge, Elon wrote:

“That would be an honor”

Musk also backed Jensen after the reports of his alleged affair with Alice Huang surfaced. The US intelligence agencies reportedly suspected that Alice is a Chinese spy. Jensen admitted to his relationship outside marriage in a statement without revealing Alice’s name.

Elon agreed with Shaun Maguire, who openly supported Jensen in the middle of his controversy. In his X post, Shaun dubbed Jensen as one of the “greatest” entrepreneurs, who did something “dumb.” He also claimed Huang is irreplaceable for America's leadership in AI. Maguire wrote:

“Jensen is one of the greatest entrepreneurs of this generation. He did something incredibly dumb. It was bad for America. But my guess is there was no bad intention. Two mistakes don’t make a right, and I believe Jensen is irreplaceable for America’s AI leadership”

President Trump also said that it was “sad” to see Jensen Huang’s departure from Nvidia.
