“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.

As a Bi man there is something that particularly stings about a well known, openly gay CEO funding a man who is hateful towards LGBTQ+ people. I never really liked him nor apple but it is an extra fuck you.

Being rich is ultimately the disease as it compels him to appeal to power but I hope the last things hears is "Told you I would kill you last".

Tim cook will never suffer the consequences of anti-gay legislation or the lack of legal protection for gay people.

Unfortunately, gay people like money too. He cares more about furthering his own personal empire than he does about helping those who have less money than him.

In the eyes of timmy, the struggles of poor gay people are completely irrelevant to the struggles of rich gay people.

West was similarly eager to sell out his fans after they made him wealthy so he could suckle on trump's teat.
