Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigns days after admitting an affair with a suspected Chinese spy; Trump floats Tim Cook as successor
Jensen Huang resigned as Nvidia's president, CEO and board member "effective immediately" on Thursday, with executive vice president Colette Kress named interim CEO, days after he apologized for an affair with Alice Huang, whom U.S. officials reportedly believe used the relationship to gather intelligence for Beijing, the Washington Examiner reported. The FBI is investigating the relationship, and Nvidia's stock fell more than 11% after the announcement, the Examiner reported. President Trump wrote on Truth Social that former Apple CEO Tim Cook should take his place: "A Legend replaces a Legend!" the New York Post reported.
