Apple CEO Tim Cook made a personal $1 million "donation" to the Trump inauguration in January 2025:

> Cook, a proud Alabama native, believes the inauguration is a great American tradition, and is donating to the inauguration in the spirit of unity, the sources said.

Was super disappointing to see him up there at the inauguration. E-mailed tim.cook@apple.com and told him as much.

Would cancel my Apple family plan but like my family, instead, bought a refurbished second hand iPhone instead of buying a new one recently.

Will be speaking with my wallet in a variety of ways, along with calling, marching, etc. We start here... let's see where we end up. The moment is _now_.

He certainly doesn't read your emails, but they do get rolled up in a sentiment analysis most places

Well that would be something. Assuming it's not being delivered via Apple Intelligence summaries.

Some do, sometimes. Steve Jobs used to read and respond to many emails.
