Trump Wants Apple's Tim Cook to Replace Jensen Huang as NVIDIA CEO
"A Legend replaces a Legend," Trump wrote, explaining his thinking behind who should take over NVIDIA
President Trump voiced his opinion on Thursday that Apple CEO Tim Cook should replace NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, following the latter's resignation due to alleged affairs with two individuals, one of whom is believed to be a Chinese spy. Trump posted his suggestion on social media platform TruthSocial, 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!" However, it remains unclear if Trump has reached out to Cook about this proposal. The White House and Huang have had a close working relationship since the beginning of Trump's second term. During a visit to China in May, Trump invited Huang to attend a summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, despite concerns about his alleged relationship with a potential spy.
On Monday, Trump downplayed the affair, believing Huang when he claimed he was unaware of any espionage operation.
