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

I guess it was that or a blow job.
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.

I’ll defend Apple as being the least shitty of the big tech giants but I can’t defend this.
You can defend settler colonialism?
Way to go, Tim Apple
Tim Apple*
$1 million seems to be the going fealty price for these people.
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.
That's probably 2% of their holiday bonus!
It's from his own money, not that it makes things any better.
