Trump backs Tim Cook to lead NVIDIA after Huang exit

9to5mac.com —

President Trump has publicly called for former Apple CEO Tim Cook to replace Jensen Huang as NVIDIA's chief executive, following Huang's resignation over reported personal scandals involving an alleged Chinese spy and a company executive. In a Truth Social post, Trump praised Huang's performance and endorsed Cook as the ideal successor, writing that "a Legend replaces a Legend." However, Cook currently serves as executive chairman at Apple and is unlikely to pursue the NVIDIA role. The suggestion appears largely symbolic, as Cook's post-CEO position involves high-level duties like engaging with world leaders, including Trump, rather than returning to a full-time executive role at another major tech firm.
