Donald Trump really wants Tim Cook to run Nvidia
But President Donald Trump is already throwing around one person he thinks should take over the chipmaking giant: former Apple CEO Tim Cook, who stepped down from leading the company on September 1st and moved into an executive chairman role.
Key points
- The big picture: Trump didn't weigh in on the controversy surrounding Huang's departure following alleged affairs with a suspected Chinese spy and an Nvidia executive, instead calling Huang "a Legend" in his Truth Social post.
- Jensen Huang resigned this morning as Nvidia's CEO following reports of affairs, including one with an alleged Chinese spy.
- Right now, the company is being led by its CFO on an interim basis.
President Trump is backing Apple executive chairman Tim Cook to replace tech giant Jensen Huang after Huang resigned as Nvidia CEO, though it's unclear whether he meant it as a joke.
