“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.

The personal donation part is weird. This sounds like a deliberate attempt to appease the fascists while trying, desperately, to maintain Apple's image.

It’s time to boycott Apple

I've been doing that for decades, the last apple product I used was an Apple ][e. Couldn't resist that sweet Oregon Trail action at the time.

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?

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

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

You best start believing in technofeudal distopias, you're living in one.
