“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.

    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.

      It’s peanuts to them. It’s about 15h of profits is all. You can’t even call it a slap on the wrist, more like a friendly tickle ha
