Trump Says Tim Cook Should Be Nvidia CEO as Jensen Huang Resigns

In a post on his Truth Social platform today, U.S. President Donald Trump said he thinks that Apple's chairman Tim Cook should become Nvidia's CEO. Nvidia today announced that Jensen Huang has resigned as the company's CEO effective immediately following reports that he had two extramarital affairs, including one that the U.S. government believes involved a spy working for the Chinese government. Nvidia has appointed its CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO. Nvidia's board of directors has initiated a search for a new CEO and said that it will consider both internal and external candidates. Cook stepped down as Apple's CEO on September 1 as part of a planned transition, and he now serves as the company's executive chairman. There is no indication that Cook actually wants to be Nvidia's CEO. Semafor on Wednesday reported that Apple's longtime chipmaking chief Johny Srouji is among the people that Nvidia is considering for CEO, but it is likewise unclear if Srouji has any interest in the role. Srouji was named Apple's Chief Hardware Officer in April, at the same time as Apple announced John Ternus would become its next CEO.
