“Apple CEO Tim Cook plans to donate $1 million to Donald Trump's inauguration fund, reports Axios. The donation will be a personal donation directly from Cook rather than a donation from Apple”

I’ll defend Apple as being the least shitty of the big tech giants but I can’t defend this.

Steves wept.

Between Tom Clancy and Steve Jobs rotational corpse energy reclamation may just save us all.

What I'm curious about is, according to the article, Tim Apple is donating from this own money and won't be donating Apple's money. Why make it a personal donation and not a corporate one?

While others are donating as companies (don't agree with this either but different subject), none are doing it as a personal donation. As the face of Apple, he won't get far claiming that it doesn't reflect Apple as a company, so why not just m make it corporate? Unless it's for tax reasons?

He's totally not doing it to get Trumpf to like him. He's gonna get his own imaginary political role.

Typical CEO tribute to the newly crowned King of the United States for some tariff exemptions.

That's probably 2% of their holiday bonus!

It's from his own money, not that it makes things any better.

I can’t help but wonder if this is to take the news spotlight away from the Siri recording scandal that just popped up

This isn't even remotely surprising. Apple has been a shitty company for well over a decade.
