After Jensen Huang’s stunning ouster as the CEO of Nvidia, President Donald Trump weighed in that former Apple CEO Tim Cook should be the one to take the reins at the chipmaker.
“A Legend replaces a Legend,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding that Huang had done a “fantastic job.”
Nvidia’s chief financial officer, Colette Kress, will serve as interim CEO while the company conducts a search for a permanent leader. There’s no indication that the company is considering Cook or that Trump has a say in the decision.
Trump and Huang have enjoyed a close relationship during the president’s second term in office. Trump spoke in support of Huang in a Monday news conference.
Cook stepped down as the CEO of Apple this year after transforming the company in the post-Steve Jobs era from a spunky innovator to a global market juggernaut. While CEO, he was among the tech leaders who courted Trump, presenting him with a plaque on a gold base in the Oval Office. He remains the chairman of Apple’s board.
