“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'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

A 20 dollar per device settlement for selling your data for billions. And the lawyers get paid big. Who the fuck is working for the working class? The law? Defense attorneys? Leaders?

lol 98 million? why not something proportional to the ad revenue that apple made in said years? oh I know why because law exists for billionaires. this is just apple paying some more money so that this scandal goes away as soon as possible which might be even more costly to them on the long run than the 98 mil they are paying.

This isn't even remotely surprising. Apple has been a shitty company for well over a decade.

And before it wasn't?

A rich white cis gay man backstabbing trans people?

This never happens, I'm shocked!

It's less than .05% of his worth. It's like us dropping pocket change in the Red Cross bucket and he'll make more than that in profit from changes the bribe paid for from the great cheetoh.
