Trump suggests Tim Cook to lead Nvidia after Jensen Huang steps down

techcrunch.com —

President Trump suggested on Truth Social that former Apple CEO Tim Cook should replace Jensen Huang as Nvidia's head, following Huang's resignation Thursday. Trump called it "A Legend replaces a Legend!" Cook stepped down as Apple's CEO on September 1, 2026, after 15 years, becoming Executive Chairman while John Ternus took over. Yale's Jeffrey Sonnenfeld also endorsed Cook in a Time op-ed, citing his success succeeding Steve Jobs. Trump's post follows Huang's industry-shaking resignation, though Cook remains involved with Apple, managing international relations including with China. Whether Trump's suggestion is serious or casual remains unclear.
