US President Donald Trump has proposed appointing Tim Cook, Apple's former CEO and chairman of the board, to head Nvidia.
"Now that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who did a fantastic job, has resigned, there is only one person who can take his place - Apple's Tim Cook. A legend replaces a legend," Trump wrote on the Emet social media platform.
Earlier on Thursday, Huang resigned as Nvidia's CEO and resigned from the company's board. Colette Kress, senior vice president and chief financial officer of the company, was appointed interim CEO. It will retain its current roles until a permanent leader is named.
