“A legend replaces a legend”: Donald Trump suggests Nvidia recruit Tim Cook after the resignation of its CEO Jensen Huang

Tim Cook, the return? A few hours after the announcement of the resignation of the president and co-founder of the American technology giant Nvidia Jensen Huang, the question of his replacement raises many questions. To succeed him, Donald Trump in any case has his own little idea: on his Truth Social network, the American president has in fact put forward the possibility of the arrival at the head of the group of... the former boss of Apple Tim Cook.

“After Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who did a fantastic job, resigned, there is only one man who can take his place - Apple's Tim Cook,” the US president wrote, adding: “A legend replaces a legend.” The former boss of Apple took control of the Apple company in 2011, after the death of Steve Jobs. Under his leadership, the American company confirmed its transformation into a technological titan, even becoming the largest capitalization in the world, valued at more than 5,000 billion dollars.

He has since handed over to John Ternus last September, at age 65. Earlier this year, Donald Trump said he was “a big fan” of the leader, with whom he had a “long and very friendly” relationship. “He has had a tremendous, almost incomparable career, and he will continue to achieve great things for Apple, and whatever he chooses to work on.

Very simply, Tim Cook is an incredible guy,” the American president enthused on Truth Social in April. Nvidia has launched “a recruitment process” However, the idea of ​​hiring Tim Cook to guide Nvidia seems very hypothetical for the moment. For its part, the firm specializing in chips simply reports, in a press release, having launched “a recruitment process to find a permanent general manager”.

Its board of directors “will study internal and external applications,” she adds. As for Jensen Huang, caught up in an affair involving an intimate relationship with a businesswoman suspected of being a spy in the service of Beijing, he could well find support in the person of Elon Musk. “It would be an honor,” replied the multi-billionaire at the head of SpaceX and Tesla, to an Internet user who called on him to recruit the co-founder of Nvidia.
