Jensen Huang was having a third affair, Reuters reports
Reuters is withholding the name of the new employee linked to Huang, but says she is an employee of Nvidia.
Former US President Donald Trump has suggested that Tim Cook, the former CEO of Apple, should replace Jensen Huang, the ex-CEO of Nvidia, as the company's next permanent CEO. The suggestion came after Jensen Huang stepped down from Nvidia amid allegations of a second affair. Nvidia will now look for a new CEO, with interim CEO Colette Kress in place for now.
Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to make the recommendation, 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!" Tim Cook had previously served as CEO of Apple from 2011 to 2026, taking over from Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple.
He remained as Executive Chairman of Apple during his absence as CEO. Trump and Tim Cook have a long-standing professional relationship, with Cook reportedly donating $1 million to Trump's inauguration. Both Trump and Cook recently visited China to negotiate trade relations in regard to AI hardware. The potential hiring of Tim Cook as Nvidia's CEO could strengthen the company's ties with the Trump administration and its focus on growing AI in America while supplying limited amounts of AI to China.
