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

In a post on his Truth Social platform, U.S. President Donald Trump suggested that Apple's chairman, Tim Cook, should assume the CEO position at Nvidia. Nvidia recently disclosed that their CEO, Jensen Huang, has resigned, effective immediately, following allegations of extramarital affairs, including one reportedly involving a Chinese spy.

Colette Kress, Nvidia's CFO, has been appointed as interim CEO, and the company's board has begun a search for a new CEO, considering both internal and external candidates. Cook, who stepped down as Apple's CEO on September 1 as part of a planned transition, now serves as Apple's executive chairman. While there is no indication that Cook is interested in the Nvidia position, Semafor reported that Apple's Chief Hardware Officer, Johny Srouji, is among the individuals Nvidia is considering for the CEO role.

However, it remains unclear whether Srouji has any interest in the position. Srouji became Apple's Chief Hardware Officer in April, coinciding with Apple's announcement that John Ternus would become the next CEO.
