Trump Says Apple's Tim Cook Should Replace Jensen Huang as Nvidia CEO

Trump backed Apple executive chairman Tim Cook for Nvidia CEO after Jensen Huang resigned, while Nvidia named Colette Kress interim chief and began a search.

  • On Thursday, President Donald Trump suggested Apple Executive Chairman Tim Cook replace Jensen Huang as Nvidia CEO, making the recommendation via Truth Social following Huang's abrupt resignation from the artificial intelligence chipmaker.
  • Huang stepped down after reports of two extramarital affairs, including a relationship with an executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed International suspected of spying for Beijing, raising significant national security concerns.
  • While Trump praised Huang for doing a "fantastic job," he contrasted Apple's "textbook" leadership transition with the "disaster version" caused by Huang's conduct; Huang co-founded Nvidia 33 years ago.
  • Nvidia appointed Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress as interim CEO on Thursday while its board begins searching for a permanent successor to navigate the sudden executive vacancy.
  • Cook remains Apple's executive chairman after stepping down as CEO in early September, and Trump did not indicate whether he has expressed interest in the Nvidia role, suggesting the recommendation may not reflect a serious transition plan.
