Apple CEO Tim Cook will attend the inauguration ceremony of US President-elect Donald Trump. This was reported by Bloomberg.
In addition to the head of Apple, the event will also be attended by Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon and Blue Origin, Elon Musk, owner of SpaceX, Tesla and X, and the CEO of Meta (a known extremist). Russia and banned) Mark Zuckerberg.
The presence of technology giant executives at the opening took place because their relations with Trump have improved since his election victory in November 2024. Many, including Cook, have already visited the president-elect’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. There, Musk, among Trump and his closest colleagues, discussed plans for the next four years with company presidents.
Cook also managed to make a personal contribution of $1 million to Trump’s inauguration fund, and in November, he congratulated Trump on social network X for winning the election.
Trump will take office on January 20.
During Trump’s first term, Apple managed to avoid tariffs on iPhones, iPads and Macs, even though it had to pay taxes on Apple Watch, AirPods and HomePod. Trump said in 2019 that Cook had “proved” that tariffs would hurt Apple.
Previously Apple closed AI notifications on iPhone due to fake banners.
