Nvidia: This is how politics and business are reacting to Huang's resignation

While Donald Trump is already bringing the former Apple boss at Nvidia into play, the political implications dominate the debate. But the tech superstar also receives support.

Dusseldorf. US President Donald Trump reacted quickly to Jensen Huang's resignation as Nvidia boss. On his online platform Truth Social, Trump also had a successor in mind: Tim Cook. The former Apple CEO was the only candidate, the president wrote. And adds: “A legend replaces a legend!”

Huang on Thursday drew conclusions from allegations against him, which include, among other things, an alleged extramarital affair with an employee. CFO Colette Kress took over interim leadership and a permanent solution is being sought - which will most likely not be called Tim Cook.

Huang's resignation sparked mixed reactions in the financial and technology industries. While some market observers warn of long-term consequences for Nvidia and the AI ​​industry, others believe the immediate impact on operations is limited.

Shay Boloor, chief market strategist at Futurum Equities, sees no reason for a drop in sales in the short term. The demand for products such as the Blackwell chips, the Rubin product planning and the Cuda ecosystem is already established. In the long term, however, Huang will be difficult to replace because he has repeatedly recognized technological developments at an early stage.
