Nvidia Staff Seek Jensen Huang's Return After Resignation

More than 1,600 comments on an internal Nvidia post call for Jensen Huang to be reinstated, Wired reports, marking a concentrated employee push for the company's former chief executive.

According to Wired, the wave of internal responses followed disclosure of what the outlet described as a second ethical scandal and Huang's removal from the company chair. Employees who posted in the internal thread—many saying they still consider Huang fit to lead—are urging the board to consider a path for his return despite the recent controversies.

Internal response

Wired says one long‑tenured Nvidia engineer submitted the request in the internal comments before the company's formal announcement of Huang's departure, asking the board to heed staff concerns. That post had accumulated more than 1,600 comments at the time of reporting, with many employees expressing a desire to see Huang back in leadership.

Another employee went beyond the comment thread and sent a company‑wide email requesting greater transparency about Huang's exit and explicitly stating support for the former CEO, citing confidence in his past stewardship. Nvidia officials have not publicly commented on the internal posts or the company‑wide email.

Background on resignation

Jensen Huang, 63, had served as Nvidia's chief executive since the company was founded in 1993. In a recent email to staff, he acknowledged being unfaithful to his wife and said he had no excuse for the allegations. Following reports that he had a relationship with a Chinese spy and another person, Huang resigned from his position, according to the reporting. Employees quoted in the internal thread say they do not believe his departure was entirely voluntary and want him reinstated.

As of this report, Nvidia has not issued a public response to the internal petition or the employee appeals for Huang's return.
