Trump wants Tim Cook to manage Nvidia: "A legend replaces a legend! ".
Hours after Jensen Huang resigned, the president posted on Social Truth that "there is only one person to fill his place - TIM COOK of Apple.
Cook stepped down as CEO of Apples in September and is now chairman of its board. Apple did not immediately respond.
Trump called Huang a man "who did a fantastic job" and said nothing about why he left: reports of an affair with a businesswoman US intelligence calls a Chinese asset, and another with an Nvidia executive who reports to him.
Nvidia's board, which is choosing the next CEO, has made finance chief Colt Kress interim CEO and is looking for a permanent one. Axios points out that it is not clear whether Trump was joking.
