The businessman stepped down amid scandals involving infidelity.

More than 130,000 people have signed a petition calling for the reinstatement of the former CEO of the American technology company Nvidia , Jensen Huang , who was fired amid scandals involving his infidelities.

A petition in support of Huang was posted on the company’s website. As of 10:00 a.m., it had been signed by 6,800 current Nvidia employees, 74,100 shareholders, and 55,600 supporters of Huang—a total of 137,900 people.

The day before, a petition in support of Huang was reported by American businessman Elon Musk.

Prior to that, The Wall Street Journal reported that Huang might be a victim of Chinese intelligence.

In November, the head of Nvidia was suspected of having a romantic relationship with a woman whom U.S. intelligence agencies believe to be a Chinese intelligence agent. According to media reports, she was recruited to spy and attempt to circumvent U.S. bans on the export of AI chips to China. The businessman apologized to his employees and his family, admitting to the affair. However, journalists soon learned of another affair Huang had—with his subordinate, Kimberly Powell. Shortly after the scandal broke, Huang stepped down from his position.
