It’s anyone’s guess who might permanently replace Jensen Huang after the Nvidia CEO resigned Thursday following sex scandals involving two women: a suspected spy for China and one of his own employees. Nvidia CFO Colette Kress will take the role in an interim capacity, but President Donald Trump chimed in with his two cents in a post to Truth Social on Thursday.
“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!” wrote Trump in his typical style with bizarre capitalization.
It’s unclear if Trump spoke with Cook before making the suggestion for all the world to see. The president often chimes in on the subject of the day as he watches TV.
Cook stepped down as the CEO of Apple in September, but he didn’t actually leave the company, instead pivoting to a role as Executive Chair. In Apple’s announcement about the departure, Cook was described as moving to a role where he’d be “engaging with policymakers around the world.” That, of course, is code for Chief Oligarch.
It’s no wonder that Trump wants Cook for the job at Nvidia. The former Apple CEO has been extremely chummy with the Trump regime ever since the president returned to power in early 2025. Cook even attended a private White House screening of the Amazon documentary Melania about the First Lady. He faced criticism for doing so because it was right in the middle of Trump’s brutal immigration crackdown and followed the killing of two Minneapolis residents, Alex Pretti and Renee Good, by federal immigration agents.
