'A legend replaces a legend': Trump backs Tim Cook to replace Jensen Huang at Nvidia

US President Donald Trump has backed former Apple CEO Tim Cook to replace Jensen Huang as the chief executive of Nvidia, saying there was "only one man" suited to take over the role.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump praised Huang's work and said Cook should succeed him at the AI chipmaker.

"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!" Trump wrote.

His tweet came shortly after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned as president, chief executive officer and a member of the board, with immediate effect, on Thursday, November 12.

The company's board has appointed Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress as interim CEO while it searches for a permanent successor.

Kress will retain her CFO responsibilities alongside the interim role until a permanent appointment is made. The search will consider both internal and external candidates, Nvidia said.

The board has also appointed Harvey C. Jones as its first-ever chairperson. Jones has more than 30 years of experience as an entrepreneur, technology executive and venture investor. He previously served as CEO and executive chairman of Synopsys.

Notably Tim Cook marked his final day as Apple's CEO on August 31, bringing the curtain down on his 15-year tenure at the helm as he handed over the reins to hardware engineering chief John Ternus.

Ternus took over as CEO on September 1, 2026, while Cook continues at Apple as executive chairman of its board.
