Trump Suggests Apple's Tim Cook as Next Nvidia CEO After Jensen Huang's Resignation

United States
The brief

President Donald Trump has publicly proposed Apple's Tim Cook as the next chief executive of Nvidia, following the resignation of Jensen Huang. In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote that Huang had done a "fantastic job" but that "there is only one man to take his place" — naming Cook of Apple.

According to the 9to5mac report, Huang is out as Nvidia's CEO after reported love affairs with an alleged Chinese spy and a high-ranking executive at the company. Trump described the scenario as "a Legend replaces a Legend" in his post.S2

The suggestion is unlikely to materialise in practice. Cook is serving as executive chairman of Apple's board after stepping down as CEO, a role that includes engaging with world leaders such as Trump. The report contrasts Apple's transition with Nvidia's leadership change, which it links to Huang's reported infidelity.S2
