Elon Musk Says He Will Sign a Petition Supporting Jensen Huang’s Return as Nvidia CEO
Elon Musk posted on X on November 13 that: “A petition is underway to reinstate Jensen and I’m signing it too.” (A petition is underway to have Jensen reinstated, and I will sign it too.)
The post was a response to another user’s discussion about Nvidia employees’ actions. Jensen Huang resigned on November 12 as Nvidia’s president, chief executive officer, and board member, and the company appointed Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress as interim CEO and launched a search for a permanent successor.
There is currently no publicly confirmed link to an official petition or widely confirmed number of signatures, and Musk’s statement was only his personal public declaration.

Jensen Huang resigned on November 12, 2026 as Nvidia’s president, chief executive officer, and board member. The company confirmed in regulatory filings and announcements that the board had accepted his resignation and appointed current Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress as interim CEO, while also appointing Harvey C. Jones as the first board chairman and launching a search for a permanent CEO.
Elon Musk publicly said on X on November 13 that he would sign a petition aimed at getting Huang reinstated. The statement came the day after Huang’s resignation and was a personal public declaration, without a specific petition link or further details.
Some media reported that before Huang’s resignation there were internal employee posts at Nvidia that drew many comments supporting his return, but those internal discussions and Musk’s public statement came through different channels. There is currently no evidence of an official external petition process confirmed by the company or regulators.
Musk’s post only shows his personal position; it does not constitute formal interference in Nvidia’s board decision, nor did it disclose any specific transaction or cooperation arrangement with Huang or Nvidia.
