Elon Musk has signed a petition calling for Jensen Huang to be reinstated as chief executive of Nvidia, the AI chipmaker that trades under the $NVDA ticker.
Huang co-founded Nvidia in 1993 and has led the company through its transformation into the dominant supplier of silicon for AI data centres. No succession or leadership change at the company has been announced.
The petition puts Musk's name behind a campaign that treats Huang's position as worth defending, an odd framing given Huang's standing as one of the longest-tenured chief executives in US technology.
