President Trump said Thursday that former Apple CEO Tim Cook should replace Jensen Huang as Nvidia’s leader.
Mr. Trump weighed in hours after Nvidia, a highly valuable computer chipmaker, announced that Mr. Huang would step down because of his extramarital affairs with a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy and a company executive who reported to him.
“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!” Mr. Trump said on social media.

It’s unclear if Mr. Cook is interested in the Nvidia post after stepping down from his demanding Apple role at the start of September.
Nvidia said Colette Kress, an executive vice president and chief financial officer at Nvidia, will serve as interim CEO while it searches for a permanent leader.
Mr. Cook served as Apple CEO from 2011 to Aug. 31 of this year.
