Trump pitches Apple’s Tim Cook for Nvidia CEO role after Jensen Huang’s reported departure

Trump names Cook as his choice

In a Truth Social post, Trump said Nvidia had lost Huang as CEO and named Cook as the person who should succeed him. He praised Huang’s work and described the proposed handover as one prominent leader replacing another.

The post framed Cook as Trump’s preferred candidate; it did not describe a formal appointment or say that Cook had accepted the role. The article characterizes the suggestion as unlikely to go beyond public speculation.

Cook’s role at Apple

Cook is now executive chairman of Apple’s board, after serving as the company’s CEO. The article says his current responsibilities include meeting with world leaders, including Trump. That role places Cook in contact with the president, even as Trump has publicly urged him to take on another chief executive job. No move by Cook to Nvidia is reported.

Claims surrounding Huang’s exit

The article says Huang resigned and attributes his departure to reported relationships involving an alleged Chinese spy and a senior company executive. It does not provide further details about those reports.

It contrasts the situation at Nvidia with what it calls Apple’s orderly CEO transition. The account portrays the circumstances surrounding Huang’s departure as a sharp contrast, while offering no further information about Nvidia’s next steps.
