Same is true for Musk, whose fortune hinges on government largesse and regulatory collegiality.
But Apple? Screw those asshats, they have no such excuses.
What do you not get about these guys? It's very simple. The likes of Tim Cook, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos are the exact same as Peter Thiel and Elon Musk. The last two are just louder about it. They have their own power base, but relying on it doesn't maximize their wealth. In a best case scenario, they could achieve maybe 50% of the wealth by relying on their own power base, compared to kowtowing to The Party. They don't want 50%, they want 100%, and there's absolutely nothing that they won't do for it.
And if Elon’s X feed contains his real thoughts, his brain has turned to pudding and he earnestly believes a bunch of really vile racist garbage, so I guess it makes sense he’s hanging out with the rest of the deplorables in this administration.
Is this really true? Tariffs can be applied only if products go inside/outside the US. They could still operate from othe locations.
That wasn't by chance. iPhones going up in price 50% would kill Apple very quickly.
