A letter was circulated in which Nvidia members, including key technology executives, collectively resigned, calling for the resignation of the board of directors and the return of former CEO Jensen Huang, but this was confirmed to be a fake document.

On the 13th (local time), a letter addressed to the Board of Directors that was being circulated on social networking service (SNS)

In this letter, key executives including Vice President Ian Buck, who is considered a candidate for the next CEO, Chief Scientist Bill Daly, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Michael Kagan, and Co-founder Chris Malarkowski were named as joint contributors.

In particular, they threatened to resign en masse and move to Elon Musk's space company SpaceX if their demands were not accepted.

However, this letter turned out to be a fake that copied the protest letter that OpenAI employees sent to the board of directors when OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was dismissed in November 2023.

In the letter, the entire content is virtually the same, except that 'Open AI' was changed to 'Nvidia', 'Sam Altman' to 'Jensen Huang', and 'Microsoft' to 'Elon Musk'.

The X system also annotates the background information in posts containing the document, saying, "There are no reports of such a joint letter."

On this day, CEO Musk said in

However, it appears to be true that dissatisfaction has built up within NVIDIA regarding former CEO Hwang's resignation and the process.

Previously, Wired, a media outlet specializing in information technology (IT), reported that a post defending former CEO Hwang was posted on NVIDIA's in-house suggestion box bulletin board, and that over 1,600 comments were posted on it.

Former CEO Hwang resigned on the 12th after his affair with Alice Huang (Chinese name Huang Le), who was pointed out as a Chinese spy, and another extramarital relationship with a woman in the company were revealed, and the board of directors appointed Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Colette Kress as interim CEO.
