Phil should have been CEO.
Tim was a mistake.
Comment on Judge Rules Apple Senior Executive Lied Under Oath, Makes Criminal Contempt Referral

I don’t think it can be overstated how far Apple and Tim are straying from their core values with this and the intelligence failures.
It’s bad enough Tim really only made the Watch in his nearly 15y as CEO. His recent capitulation to the Regime and now this, it’s time to go buddy.
You’re good at feeding shareholders and doing the stock buyback thing, but that’s not really what apple is. All of what apple is and you tried to mimic failed: the car, the ski goggles, the power mat and most recently “intelligence”.
These are the signs a company has peaked and is just trying to ride the past successes.
Thanks to Musk and Trump he of course looks like a half decent business leader, but when all the veils of secrecy are lifted and the privacy promises turn out to be empty, there isn’t much left.

Values mean nothing, principles are rational ideals, values are aspirational. They aren’t “straying from their core values”. This is who they have always been. Everything else was public relations. When faced with moral decisions, they will lie for money. Period.

It’s literally not possible for a billionaire to have any “core values”. It’s an oxymoron.

I mean, bill Gates has done a ton of really good things with his wealth.

After he acquired it all and spent decades doing illegal stuff for which Microsoft received extensive anti trust fines. Lets not kid ourselves here is trying to redeem himself for his prior billionaire behaviour and it often comes off more as “greenwashing” than actually helping people.

Nah man, that wealth is stolen from tax payers.
I hear you, and I do like that billionaires like bill gates and buffet have pledged to donate or what not…
But my point still stands… they had no core values when they accumulated the wealth. Now gates is retired and bored and controls more wealth than a small country.

Bill Gates deserves the guillotine exactly as much as the rest of them.

That’s not true at all. Notch valued having a candy wall, and he made good on it.
