Social media commenters quickly condemned Apple CEO Tim Cook after a report he joined other billionaires in donating to President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration.
A shitty man with a shitty company. No normal person is surprised. Fuck CEOs and the rich.
I think it’s awesome. A million to most of these companies is so so so so tiny and yet the amount of bad PR it had purchased is 100000x any good PR they could have purchased.
Yet we just bitch about it and he tipped one of the most important people in the world his equivalent of a quarter to gain influence or shield himself.
The people voted for the mafia but are upset that people are paying for protection?
Sure. It’s pointless to be shocked by any of this but it is still disappointing.
Like he cares, he just cares about making money. Of course he’ll back Trump, he’s gonna make everything so much better right? /s
So 1 million is the price to not get deported as a gay couple? Or what exactly was paid by this?
When the new mafia leader gets into power, everyone needs to symbolically kiss his ring in order to get on his good side
It’s just enough to declare to the world you are a pathetic piece of shit. Congratulations Tim fucking Apple
Yeah, I’m done with Apple at this point.
I’ve been done with Apple since…1997.
But they ain’t the only one donating. All the corporations recognize that Trump is Pay to Win. Especially in his final term. Nothing is off the table.
Final term? I like your optimism.
To be fair they didn’t specify how long that term will be…
He’s an obese 78 year old with a drug habit. There’s a pretty good chance he won’t even survive 4 years.
Oh I have no doubt he will try to end presidential term limits but also pretty confident he will fail.
I’m at about 25% he dies during this term. If JD and the masters can corral MAGA they could be in power forever.
Bad timing Tim Apple… He’ll forget about you among all those other
tithesdonationsTim Apple should give me a million dollars too, to prove it was just a random act of kindness.
Tim, look, you can still redeem yourself if you get invited and then shoot Trump on stage.
Who’s on that inaugural committee? Sounds like a nice gig.
Steve Jobs would’ve hated this
Yeah he would have donated more.
Steve Jobs was known for not donating money to anything, so who knows, maybe he wouldn’t have donated. I’m sure his ego would’ve put him at odds with Trump, and I’d bet money Jobs would’ve hated Trump just because of who Trump is. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s Steve Jobs fan fic about him and Trump being at odds and trying to undermine each other.
Give me the PowerBook G5, Timmy
Fuck him.
What would Steve Job have done?
NOT THIS!!
He would probably sit right next to musk. Jobs was a billionaire.
Steve Jobs famously kept Apple out of politics.
Unfortunately, that Apple died with him.
That Apple died inside him, trying to cure extremely treatable pancreatic cancer.

What? You want to normalize using “fag” as an insult again? Am i understanding this right?

Of all the things you could shout at him, attack him for, you think it’s best to go for his sexuality? The one thing about him that isn’t inherently wrong and is a trait shared by billions of people? Using a word that’s historical been used to oppress people who did nothing wrong?
What would that accomplish over actually criticism of his actions, using words that actually tell him what he’s doing wrong, instead of a word that will allow him to dismiss all your criticism because of bigotry.
What (and I can’t stress this enough) the fuck is wrong with you?
With that logic, we should normalize the N-word again thanks to the likes of Clarence Thomas.
We already got a term for people like him, it’s Uncle Tom.
Jerks like Tim are already confused enough about shame. When we communicate to him that he should be ashamed for being gay, rather than for supporting a fascist rapist’s victory party, we’re muddling things up very badly for them and for everyone else. Bad idea puppy.
This is a terrible idea.
