He's still going to donate $1 million to Trump's inauguration.

[–] Walican132 34 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That’s the thing right? Like if Apple/ Tim didn’t, they would be an early Republican target. 1million to hope to keep Trump off your back for a few years is probably worth it.

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

a bit less than one-tenth of one percent of one day's revenue.

yea, probably 'worth it'.

The $1m is being donated personally by Tim Apple. Not from Apple Inc., so bears no relation to Apple’s revenue.

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago

His (Tim Cook) pay package for fiscal 2024 included $12 million in non-equity compensation and $1.52 million in other compensation.

it's in there somewhere.

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

I'll believe that only if his compensation for 2025 is the same as 2024 or lower. But we all know it'll at least be $1M more.

He's just indirectly providing a $1M interest free loan for the company.

Fair point. He paid the protection money instead of fighting.

[–] mriguy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

That’s a good strategy, because appeasing fascists always works out well.

[–] dinckelman@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

My point exactly. A gay man from Alabama donating to a rapist, a pedo, a liar, and a failed businessman, who not only continues showing he doesn’t understand how the economy works, but also threatens to start a war with another NATO member.

All for tax cuts

It’s not a “donation”. It’s protection money for a fucking mobster goon. You honestly can’t see that?

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I do obviously see that but what's the difference?

[–] fourish@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Google getting mugged. Google gift giving. Compare the two. Draw your own conclusions about which is voluntary and which is coercive.

If you don’t give me money and I tell the cops to break your door down and beat the crap out of you, is a “donation” if I give you money to avoid that?

Maybe spare us the anti Apple rhetoric.

I guess I'm maybe a little in denial of just how bad things have gotten over there.
