“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.

Way to go, Tim Apple

[–] Xatolos@reddthat.com 17 points 6 days ago (6 children)

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?

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

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

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.
