Ohh shocking!! A US company CEO donated to the inagural fund of the new president elected by the people (idiots).
Pathetic thinly veiled bribe
Or it is protection money. “Nice apple you got there, would be a shame if anyone took a bite out of that”….
Why would Tim Cook be assosiated with Apple in trumps mind?
Apple is owned by Tim Apple.
Kind of strange that this line cook is able to afford a small 1 million dollar loan.......what? You think trump knows that a loan is different than a donation? You think he knows you're supposed to pay back loans?
If any company could insulate itself from Trump's agenda, it would be Apple with its "fuck you" money.
This is cowardly and craven.
What the fucking, fuck.
Suprised? Had you put him on a pedastle in your mind? Did you think him to be more than a sniveling greedy capitalist prick? I'm sorry for this very harsh fall from artificial grace if so. I'd be careful about holding anyone with more than a few hundred million dollars to lose in too high esteem in the future.
Bad gay!
When you’re a traitor to your own kind for the sake of an unquenchable thirst for profit, you become an enemy to LGBTQ+ folks. Siding with the neo-Nazis only makes it worse.
Fuck you, Tim Apple
Steve Jobs would have fired you the instant he thought you might do this. He might’ve been a legendary prick for his entire career, but at least he had a set of ethics and morals.
It really goes to show what kind of times we're living in when Steve Jobbs is the limbo bar to measure good ethics that everyone today is clearing under.
It's not going to make him remember your actual name, Tim.
You'll always be Tim Apple to him.
That's probably 2% of their holiday bonus!
It's from his own money, not that it makes things any better.
Yes, not really better at all. These donations are all symbols, not meaningful except as a show of obeisance. So we should interpret it along the same symbolic parameters.
It's being framed as a personal donation because Cook is acquiescing to Trump's pending authoritarian takeover, but wants plausible deniability that that imputes to Apple. But since Tim Cook is the one acquiescing and he leads Apple, it's indistinguishable from the same thing. It carries the same message: Apple won't get in your way, do what you will.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
