科技行业对黄仁勋的支持持续升温,包括埃隆·马斯克在内的多位知名人士纷纷站在前英伟达首席执行官身后,一份未经验证的在线请愿书呼吁董事会让公司创始人复职。

Support has continued to build across the tech industry for Jensen Huang, with figures including Elon Musk rallying behind the former Nvidia CEO and an unverified online petition calling on the board to reinstate the company’s founder.

自称是英伟达员工、合作伙伴和股东的“声援黄仁勋”活动组织者,在该倡议网站发布的公开信中敦促董事会“在独立调查查明事实的同时让黄仁勋回归”。

Organisers of the “Stand with Jensen” campaign, who describe themselves as Nvidia employees, partners and shareholders, urged the board to “bring Jensen back while an independent investigation establishes the facts”, according to an open letter on the initiative’s website.

截至周日下午2点,该请愿书已获得超过13.6万个签名,其中包括声称代表6800多名现任英伟达员工和7.3万名股东的签名,以及特斯拉和SpaceX掌门人马斯克及其他全球科技领袖的签名。

As of 2pm on Sunday, the petition had attracted more than 136,000 signatures, including entries claiming to represent over 6,800 current Nvidia employees and 73,000 shareholders, as well as Tesla and SpaceX head Musk and other global tech leaders.

该请愿书未设身份验证措施,允许用户在无需提供证明的情况下提交姓名和头衔。不过,包括YouTube联合创始人陈士骏和Atreides Management管理合伙人加文·贝克在内的多位业内知名人士已在社交媒体上公开支持该活动。马斯克自争议爆发以来多次公开声援黄仁勋,他在周六于X平台发文称“正在进行一项让黄仁勋复职的请愿,我也签了”。

The petition does not include identity-verification measures, allowing users to submit names and titles without proof. However, several prominent industry figures, including YouTube co-founder Steve Chen and Atreides Management managing partner Gavin Baker, have publicly endorsed the campaign on Musk, who has repeatedly voiced support for Huang since the controversy erupted, said on X on Saturday that a “petition is under way to reinstate Jensen and I’mg it too”.

这条帖子是针对一名特斯拉工程师发出的呼吁而发出的,该工程师敦促英伟达员工辞职以向董事会施压,此举引发了与2023年员工抗议助推山姆·奥特曼重返OpenAI首席执行官一职的对比。

Jensen drove supply chain brilliantly at Nvidia, but many of those deals were a handshake with Jensen, not a written contractElon Musk, Tesla The post came in response to a Tesla engineer who urged Nvidia employees to resign in an effort to pressure the board, drawing comparisons with the staff revolt that helped reinstate Sam Altman as OpenAI CEO in 2023.

2023年11月,奥特曼被公司董事会突然解职,在投资者和员工的强烈反弹后,四天之后他重新担任OpenAI首席执行官。

Altman returned as OpenAI CEO four days after being abruptly dismissed by the company’s board in November 2023, following an intense backlash from investors and employees.

马斯克在周日的另一条帖子中警告称,没有黄仁勋,英伟达可能难以维持某些关键业务关系。

In a separate post on Sunday, Musk warned that Nvidia could struggle to maintain some key business relationships without Huang.

“黄仁勋在英伟达出色地管理了供应链,但那些交易中许多都是基于与黄仁勋的握手达成的,而非书面合同。”埃隆·马斯克,特斯拉支持黄仁勋的声浪自周四他辞职以来不断升温,此前媒体报道了他涉嫌婚外情,结束了他长达33年的任期,期间他将英伟达打造成为一家市值达4万亿美元的人工智能芯片巨头。

Support for Huang has gathered momentum since he resigned on Thursday amid media reports of alleged extramarital affairs, ending a 33-year tenure during which he transformed Nvidia into a US$4 trillion artificial intelligence chip powerhouse.

首席财务官科莱特·克雷斯已出任临时首席执行官,董事会正在寻找永久继任者。

Chief financial officer Colette Kress has assumed the role of interim CEO while the board searches for a permanent replacement.

英伟达主要投资者、Altimeter Capital Management首席执行官布拉德·格斯特纳和Atreides的贝克在一封公开信中也敦促董事会保持选择开放,包括“黄仁勋潜在回归”的可能性。

Altimeter Capital Management CEO Brad Gerstner and Atreides’ Baker, both major Nvidia investors, also urged the board to keep its options open, including “the potential return of Jensen Huang”, in an open letter.

他们呼吁董事们“就英伟达未来的领导层推行一个缓慢、审慎且深思熟虑的过程”。

They called on directors to “pursue a slow, measured and deliberate process regarding the future leadership of Nvidia”.

格斯特纳和贝克表示,他们认为董事会“应避免匆忙替换黄仁勋,从而损害并挫败股东的最佳利益”。

Gerstner and Baker said they believed the board “should avoid a rush to replace Jensen that undermines and thwarts the best interests of shareholders”.

部分员工对董事会处理黄仁勋离职一事表示反对。机器人工程师达雷尔·戴在周日广泛流传的X帖子中表示,他计划离职,理由是对员工被排除在导致黄仁勋辞职的流程之外感到沮丧。

Some employees have voiced opposition to the board’s handling of Huang’s departure. Robotics engineer Darrell Dai said in a widely shared X post on Sunday that he planned to leave the company, citing frustration that employees were excluded from the process that led to Huang’s resignation.

他说:“我一直觉得工程师的观点在这里很重要。但在这项决定上,我没有感到被倾听。”

“I have felt that engineers’ perspectives matter here,” he said. “On this decision, I have not felt heard.”
