A name floated amid crisis
US President Donald Trump suggested former Apple CEO Tim Cook for NVIDIA's top job. The remark came as the company faces uncertainty following Jensen Huang's exit.
Why Huang is in the spotlight
Huang's departure followed allegations of affairs with an alleged Chinese spy and a senior executive at the company. NVIDIA is still dealing with the fallout on its leadership front.
Why it matters
NVIDIA sits at the center of AI hardware, so a CEO change could affect not just the company but the chip supply chain and AI investment more broadly. Trump's remark is a suggestion, not a formal appointment; no official step in the succession process has been announced.
