Trump Proposes Tim Cook as Successor to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang
US President Donald Trump has suggested that Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, should replace Jensen Huang as the head of Nvidia. In a post on Truth Social, Trump described Cook as the only suitable candidate for the position following Huang’s immediate resignation. Trump praised Huang’s tenure, stating, “NOW THAT Nvidia CEO JENSEN HUANG, who has done a fantastic job, has resigned, there is only one man to take his place – TIM COOK of Apple. A Legend replaces a Legend!”
Nvidia’s sudden leadership change
Nvidia’s board announced on Thursday that Jensen Huang had resigned as president, CEO, and board member, effective immediately. This decision followed reports of two alleged affairs involving Huang, including one with a Chinese businesswoman suspected of espionage and another with a senior executive at the company. A source indicated that Nvidia’s board convened on Wednesday to discuss Huang’s removal.
The company acknowledged Huang’s significant contributions, stating, “Jensen’s contributions to NVIDIA are profound.” Following the announcement, Nvidia’s shares fell sharply, dropping 13.09% to $150.98, which reduced the company’s market capitalization below $4 trillion for the first time since July 2025. Colette Kress, Nvidia’s chief financial officer, has been appointed as interim CEO while the board searches for a permanent successor. Huang, who co-founded Nvidia and holds approximately 3.61% of the company, will also relinquish his board position.
