“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.

He doesn't want to be left behind, everyone else is doing it, the King will be mad at you if you're the outlier.

Tim Apple is a snake. He is a morally bankrupt person. He does back room deals with China and dinner deals with Trump in order to sell more iphones.

How the fuck it's any of that legal?

[–] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 19 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Compared to what elon did, this doesn't even look that bad. When you got money, everything is legal.

I was including Elon too, the 'any' includes political 'donations' through PACs and all of that shit too.
