Apple CEO Tim Cook gives 24-karat gold gift to Donald Trump
-
It’s like nuclear weapons
Unless everyone gets rid of them nobody will
Being the only one not to “bend the knee” will just hurt you if everyone else kisses his ass
This is apple we're talking about. Not some random company.

Imagine prostrating yourself to Trump in this embarrassing way. Sheesh.
A set of shiny keys dangled in his face so he forgets about demanding a US-made Iphone.
-
Google hasn’t “bent the knee”?
How about we make all tech ceos work in the cobalt mines instead of children

wrote last edited by [email protected]In other countries this would be a criminal offense. For example in Austria: if the value of the gift is above 50000€ , it's 6 months - 5 years; if over 300k€ it's 1-10 years of prison.

Back door to Apple customer data maybe?
They already get that from the PRISM act.

“Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago after the election, and Google donated $1 million to the inauguration fund”
Apple's Tim Cook donated $1 million personally to Trump. Not Apple Inc, Tim Cook. And now he's donating this as well. These are not the same.

Now that's pathetic. Whatever happened to apple? What was even the latest cool thing they did? Seems almost irrelevant now

The same loophole exists almost anywhere: "its a gift to white house or trumps library"

So is Google and every major company
You're right it's both now can we fuck off with the "buh buh buh the other company!" bullshit?
Article is about Apple not Google.

Class is the only identity that matters to them
Tim Cook giving off real housen****r vibes
-
Well fuck, Clarence is basically a black white supremacist.
It’s pretty clear by now that the character Stinkmeaner is based wholly on Clarence Thomas

On nerdy sites like Lemmy people tend to fawn over Google and they can do no wrong
And every slight Apple does is The Worst Ever
If Google does the same thing, out come the excuses.

Let’s go. Start from the richest one down.
-
The shareholders should be ashamed.. That's not good business, that's evil.
But it's good for bussines, isn't it?

There are bigger random companies who are bending the knee like Meta, Amazon and Google

wrote last edited by [email protected]I don't use apple for the same reason I don't use fisher price as an adult. You are free to use your technology made for babies that's beside the point. The point is that the article in discussion is about Tim Cook and Apple providing a recent bribe to Trump.
Your comment is providing no value. You are attempting whataboutism and really shows the type of person you are more than anything.
To be clear, if googl was caught bribing and someone said "buh buh buh Apple!" Id be saying the same thing. Stop sucking dick like they owe you something to take a side.
When Google bribes Trump with a 24k gold gift let's discuss Google then ok?

Here's an idea, instead of killing thousands of CEOs why don't we just off 100 Republican Legislators? Let's compare outcomes: fuck all they're replaceable OR a legislative body that actually represents us.
Because the CEOs will biy the new people. Better to off both.

I had to look it up: 24 karat is the purest form of gold. So yeah it's a gold bar 100% lmfao

Only when it's accepted by the people. If law dismantled the company then it's very bad for business.
