Donald Trump says Tim Cook is "only one man to take his place" as Nvidia CEO succeeding Jensen Huang
“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!”
Reported November 13, 2026 by 247wallst.com. Checked word for word against that report.
Nvidia’s board approved Jensen Huang’s departure from his roles as chief executive, president and director on Nov. 11, 2026, effective immediately, according to a company filing. CFO Colette Kress became interim CEO, and director Harvey C. Jones became chair. TechCrunch reported that Huang resigned days after admitting a romantic relationship with an alleged Chinese spy. The next day, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that Tim Cook, who stepped down as Apple’s CEO on Sept. 1 and is now its executive chairman, should fill the job. The post had no formal effect: Nvidia’s board controls the search, and the report said Trump’s remark was personal opinion. Cook has shown no indication of wanting the position, and Reuters said neither Apple nor Cook answered requests for comment right away.
