Key points
- Trump endorsed Tim Cook for Nvidia leadership.
- Jensen Huang resigned amid ongoing scandals.
- Huang remains a major Nvidia shareholder.
Donald Trump has publicly proposed former Apple CEO Tim Cook as the next head of Nvidia Corp. Following Jensen Huang’s departure from his executive roles, the US leader argued that Cook is uniquely qualified to steer the prominent technology enterprise.
"Now that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who has done a magnificent job, has resigned, there is only one person who can take his place – Tim Cook of Apple," Trump posted on Truth Social, describing the potential transition as a legendary figure replacing another.
Huang stepped down amid scrutiny surrounding his association with Alice Huang, a businesswoman suspected of intelligence ties to China aimed at bypassing restrictions on advanced chip exports. Furthermore, media reports indicated that Huang had another relationship with Kimberly Powell, a Nvidia vice president overseeing healthcare operations.
Despite stepping down from daily management, Jensen Huang remains a major shareholder, retaining roughly 3.6% of Nvidia stock as the company's fourth-largest investor. Meanwhile, Tim Cook served as Apple’s chief executive from 2011 until 2026, transitioning afterward to chairman of the board.
