“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.
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?
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.
Because American democracy, is not real and this is a scientifically proven fact. act.represent.us/sign/problempoll-fba/
They even made a video about it youtu.be/5tu32CCA_Ig
No I’m just repating the hypocrisy in hope that somebody cares about it too.
I mean when I grew up America was the bastion of Democracy, the home of the free and something to aspire to. I guess in just in an extended period of mourning.
Paying a tribute to the feudal lord
