Jensen Huang Eyes Nvidia CEO Return as 150,000-Signature Campaign Grows Amid Affair Allegations

Summary
Financial Times reported Jensen Huang has discussed a path back to Nvidia's top job with close allies as some employees and Silicon Valley figures press the board to reinstate him.
150,000-plus signatures have appeared on a public letter demanding Nvidia “bring Jensen back,” with Elon Musk and Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney among backers, though Business Insider said some names look fake or misspelled.
Megaspeed said Alice Huang has had no role at the company since Aug. 30, 2025, a statement that adds scrutiny rather than resolving questions around the controversy.
The push for Huang's return faces resistance because the underlying allegations involve an affair with a subordinate, which one ally told the FT was a fireable offense.
Broader reaction in Silicon Valley has split between founder loyalists and critics who see the case as another example of powerful executives abusing workplace authority.
