The petition drive urging NVIDIA’s board to reinstate Jensen Huang continues to gain momentum. To date, the website has collected 151,083 signatures, including 7,380 current NVIDIA employees, 1,381 former employees, and 80,205 shareholders, among others. High-profile figures including Elon Musk, Tom Lee, and Replit CEO Amjad Masad have publicly added their names to the petition. On November 12, 2026, NVIDIA announced that Jensen Huang was stepping down as chief executive officer, effective immediately, marking the end of his 33-year tenure leading the company he co-founded. Campaign organizers and signatories express concern that Huang was forced out without due process or adequate time to defend himself, and are demanding the board provide an explanation. The open letter’s core requests to NVIDIA’s board are: reinstate Huang as CEO pending an independent investigation into the facts; if he remains in a leave of absence, provide evidence-backed justifications. The letter also calls for an independent investigation with clear scope and timeline, a fair opportunity for Huang to defend himself, and timely public disclosures addressing concerns, evidence, and trade-offs for employees and shareholders. The letter stresses: “Thirty-three years of leadership do not mean immunity from accountability, but accountability requires evidence and due process, not a public trial by the crowd.” The website notes that the campaign is independent and has not been endorsed by NVIDIA or Jensen Huang personally.

US Senator Cynthia Lummis, one of the lead drafters of the CLARITY Act, posted a statement saying that Democrats had called for establishing a mandatory SEC review mechanism, requiring crypto projects to submit relevant information and obtain SEC certification before offering products to the public. The CLARITY Act incorporated this requirement, but Democrats ultimately voted against the bill. Lummis argued that this means Democrats opposed measures aimed at protecting consumers.
