Musk backs petition to reinstate Nvidia's Huang

· Fact-checked before it aired. Unconfirmed claims from this segment are not shown.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned effective immediately on Thursday, Nov. 12, 2026, after more than three decades leading the company. CFO Colette Kress became interim CEO, and investor Harvey C. Jones became board chair. The board's independent directors, along with former acting U.S. attorney Joon Kim, are continuing an investigation into reported affairs, including one alleged relationship with a suspected Chinese intelligence asset and a second alleged affair with a direct report. Huang had acknowledged in a Sunday email to employees that he had been unfaithful to his wife. Since then, Nvidia employees have rallied for his return: WIRED reported an internal suggestion-box post drew more than 1,600 comments, most supportive, with messages like "Bring back THE boss." Elon Musk said Friday

The board moved to push Huang out under a cloud of security and personal-conduct concerns, but the abrupt exit has collided with strong founder loyalty inside Nvidia and among high-profile tech figures. Employees fear Nvidia's success is inseparable from Huang's leadership. On Wall Street, the scandal has also pulled in Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick because his family's firm has financial ties to the chipmaker.

Elon Musk said Friday he would sign a petition to reinstate Jensen Huang as Nvidia CEO. Nvidia's board is still investigating Huang even after his resignation Thursday.

Musk says a petition to reinstate Jensen Huang is underway, and he supports it and will sign. The board continues its independent investigation despite Huang's resignation.

What the hosts said

AMeanwhile, the FAA story is blowing up on X. ZeroHedge posted that all airports are ground stopped until further notice.
BAnd Polymarket says it's due to 'extraordinary circumstances' impacting public safety.
AHere's the thing: no independent FAA statement confirms this yet. It's all social posts right now.
BSo we treat it as unverified. If it's real, it's massive. If it's not, it's a dangerous rumor.
AExactly. We'll update when the FAA actually speaks.
BSpeaking of markets, there's a post going around about fed funds futures and a December rate hike.
AThe claim is hotter inflation pushed the odds of a half-point hike to fourteen percent. That number isn't independently verified.
BBut Goolsbee is real. CNBC reports the Chicago Fed president said the central bank 'has definitely got work to do' on inflation.
AThat's a dovish guy sounding hawkish. That tells you the inflation data spooked them.
BAnd there's a chain-reaction post from FLN Investment. End of war, rate hike odds drop, yields drop, risk appetite up, then rate cuts.
AThat's a lot of arrows. It's speculation, not a forecast I'd bet the farm on.
BBut the logic isn't crazy. If geopolitical risk fades, inflation pressure could ease.
AMaybe. But the Fed is looking at actual CPI numbers, not peace treaties.
BFair. And those CPI numbers are running hot.
AOne more market post: James Michael Anderson warns the selloff may not be done. Claims the S&P fell four point three six percent in one day.
BNearly three trillion in market value gone, he says. Those numbers aren't independently confirmed.
ABut the direction is right. Thursday was ugly. AI, semiconductor, and data-center stocks led the decline.
BAnd the rumors on top of it. This is a market looking for a reason to be nervous.
AThe question is whether this is a correction or the start of something bigger.
BElliottwave Forecast is asking the same thing. S&P down four point four, Nasdaq down five point five, Dow down over eighteen hundred points.
AAgain, unverified numbers. But the sentiment is real. People are scared.
BAnd when people are scared, they sell first and ask questions later.
AThat's the market we're in right now. FAA rumors, hot inflation, and a rough Thursday.
BIt's a Friday, and nobody's relaxed.
