More than 60,000 Nvidia shareholders demand Jensen’s return. Elon Musk joins the revolt. The weekend Nasdaq contract is down another 1%

A petition demanding Nvidia bring Jensen Huang back has passed 115,000 signatures, including more than 63,000 people identifying themselves as shareholders, nearly 6,000 current employees and 1,100 former employees. Those affiliations are self-reported, not independently verified. Elon Musk, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney and other tech executives have backed the campaign. Two major Nvidia investors have separately urged the board not to rush into replacing Jensen and to leave the door open for his return.

Jesse Watters is also questioning the timing. He raised the possibility that Jensen was set up, pointing to his sudden departure just one week before Trump’s planned meeting with China’s leader and shortly after the midterm elections. That is speculation, not established evidence. But the board’s investigation into a possible foreign intelligence operation, the allegations surrounding Jensen’s relationships and the speed of his exit have left shareholders demanding answers. Nvidia says CFO Colette Kress will serve as interim CEO while the board searches for a permanent replacement.

The selling hasn’t stopped over the weekend. IG’s Weekend US Tech 100 was down 290 points, or 1.04%, when checked Saturday evening. That’s an ugly signal heading into Sunday night’s futures reopening. Nvidia reports earnings Tuesday, and investors now have to weigh the company’s financial outlook against a leadership crisis that has shaken confidence in the AI trade. The petition may be growing, but the market isn’t showing much patience.
