O President of the United States, Donald Trump, today argued that only Apple’s current Chairman, Tim Cook, can replace Jensen Huang, who today filed his resignation, ahead of Nvidia.
The executive president (CEO) of technology Nvidia, Jensen Huang, resigned today, after his extramarital case raised national security concerns, announced in a statement the company's administration.
Colette Kress, the current executive vice president and financial administrator, will take over the interim executive presidency.
“ Now that Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang, who did a fantastic job, quit, there is only one man who can take his place: Tim Cook, from Apple,” Trump said in a Truth Social publication.
The company's administration had already advanced by looking for a successor.
“One legend replaces another legend,” Trump insisted.
Huang has been pressured to leave office in recent days, after his affair with a former Megaspeed executive and alleged Chinese spy came to the public.
On Wednesday, the local media advanced that the founder of Nvidia also had another extramarital case with an employee of technology.
Nvidia's shares were falling by more than 10% today.
Megaspeed, which is based in Singapore, said today, also in a statement, that it takes its obligation to comply with the export control laws with the US “extremely seriously.”.
Megaspeed CEO Tan Yong Pong said he was prepared to work “constructively and transparently with the U.S. Government.”.
Nvidia said she had no reason to believe that national security had been compromised.
The New York Times reported that the woman Huang had an affair with was Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le.
In October, the Times reported that Huang has a realisation with Alice Huang.
Donald Trump announced the FBI was investigating the case.
