“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.

Corruption as always. Regular donations ensure that whoever is currently holding power isn't going to cause [regulatory] problems

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.
