On November 12, 2026, President Donald Trump used his Truth Social account to say that Tim Cook, now Apple’s executive chairman, would be the right person to take over at Nvidia after Jensen Huang resigned. Trump wrote, “only one man” could fill the role and called Cook a “legend.” The idea was echoed in a Time op‑ed by Yale professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, who also named Cook as a possible candidate.
