@notjustbikes Yup, a public company can, and absolutely should be held accountable for what it tolerates its CEO doing in their private capacity.

#Apple, for example, is absolutely fine with its CEO #TimCook giving a million dollars of his own money, so that a rapist could have a nicer presidential inauguration party.

@randahl #apple is the next company that deserves a #boycot Listen good #timcook this was my last iPhone and iPad. #NoMoreApple #DEI Supporting a fascist makes you also a #fascist he let himself blackmailed by #ToddlerMusk Other big tech will follow or already has. They got no morality.

A #gulfstream G650 (Reg: N2N) reportedly used by #timcook is no longer detected in a flight; it was tracked since Sun Jan 26 2025 16:57:01 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time). During this flight it has emitted an estimated 4938 kg of #CO2. If this was flown commercial, the predicted average #emissions would have been 256 kg. #CO2emissions

Among guests, #ShouZiChew, CEO of #TikTok, drew…attn after [its]…blackout….He, along w/ #MarkZuckerberg, #JeffBezos, #TimCook, #SundarPichai, &, of course, #ElonMusk, were seated behind the #Trump family during the ceremony, a powerful image that suggested #SiliconValley—which had previously been either politically agnostic, economically libertarian (but also culturally progressive),or slightly left-leaning—had switched their allegiances & would be instrumental in Trump’s “golden age of America”

#Trump has indeed triggered fright among #business leaders. His passion for #retribution—his willingness to abuse government to reward pals & injure those who cross him—has caused many a knee to bend. (#Apple CEO #TimCook, who has never contributed to a presidential #inauguration, joined other #tech titans in cutting Trump’s inauguration committee a $1 million check.) None of these bigshots want to end up on the wrong side of a tariff, a regulation, or a prosecution.

"But what’s worse is waking up every day and deluding yourself that these people are somehow secretly reasonable or that you can play them or lie down in the mud and not get dirty. It is not possible."

"You do not have to hand it to Donald Trump. You do not have to hand it to Elon Musk. You do not have to hand it to RFK Jr. You do not have to hand it to any of these people.....

I understand that it’s hard to see yourself as out in the wilderness, locked out of power, with those in the positions of greatest authority unable to be reasoned with."

"The goal is for the exploiters to ensure we lose the truth in order to look the wrong way, fight the wrong people, and hurt other victims worse. Anything but transformation of the system that keeps them at the top."

"That is why the far right has grown: it exists to exploit our victimization and our interconnection in order to maintain power. Note how so many of our ultra-rich like Bezos, Zuckerberg, and the rest are suddenly embracing it after pretending to be benevolent."

"There is, unfortunately, no law of nature that says democracy can’t be brought down and wars can’t be started by a bunch of clowns if they have enough support from people, parties, and institutions who enable them. It’s all just a farce – until the goons and buffoons are in power. And that’s where we are."

"Regardless of motivations, from Tim Cook to Mark Zuckerberg, America’s most privileged class is proactively engaging in Faustian Capitalism, selling America’s democratic soul to make a quick buck."
