Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, and Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee have signed “Stand with Jensen,” an open letter asking Nvidia’s board to return Jensen Huang to the CEO job until an outside investigation into the allegations against him is finished. Huang resigned on Thursday, days after the board began investigating reports that he was the target of a “foreign intelligence effort” through a woman whom US agencies suspected of spying for China, and CFO Colette Kress is now interim CEO. The letter’s signers say they haven’t seen any evidence that the woman was a spy, and they want the board to let Huang respond and to explain its evidence publicly. The campaign, which isn’t affiliated with Nvidia or Huang, showed more than 133,000 signatures on its counter by Sunday.
