Jensen Huang may be planning a return amid Nvidia drama

Rumours suggest Nvidia co‑founder and former chief executive Jensen Huang is looking for a route back to the top position, while a public petition urging the board to bring him back has attracted more than 150,000 signatures. Megaspeed said Alice Huang left the company on 30 August 2025, holds no current role and declined to comment on her private matters.

Support for the petition has been voiced publicly by figures such as Elon Musk and Epic Games chief Tim Sweeney. Business Insider noted that the list of signatories includes names like Tim Cruise, a Hollywood actor, and a misspelt reference to Xi Jingping, making verification difficult.

The Financial Times reported that Huang has spoken with close confidants about a possible return as CEO, as some insiders and employees seek to pressurise the board. However, a FT‑cited ally warned that “Having an affair with a subordinate is a fireable offense.”

23andMe founder Anne Wojcicki told Bloomberg, “Power corrupts, and people start to think they are invincible … We are all complicit in making these people think they are gods. And people do stupid things when they think they are untouchable.” She referenced her own public divorce from Google co‑founder Sergey Brin after revelations of his affair with an employee. Bloomberg also reported that many women in Silicon Valley view Huang as another example of a wealthy individual exploiting power to pursue sexual relationships with staff.
