Nvidia board urged to consider ‘potential return of Jensen Huang’ by two major investors

Two major Nvidia investors have urged the company’s board to consider bringing back founder Jensen Huang, who resigned on Thursday amid allegations of affairs, including one involving a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy. The allegations have drawn attention because the woman also worked for Megaspeed, a Nvidia customer under investigation over possible diversion of restricted AI chips to China.

Elon Musk said he had signed an online petition calling for Huang’s reinstatement, which claims more than 100,000 signatures, including over 5,000 from current Nvidia employees. Musk warned that some critical deals could be lost without Huang. Separately, a letter urged Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to testify about Megaspeed; he has agreed to appear before the Senate Banking Committee on 10 December, and Huang has also been asked to testify.
