"The Alabama-based center added to its coffers Wednesday with a $1 million donation from Apple CEO Tim Cook, who also said he would match 2-1 donations to the SPLC as well as a list of other designated groups until Sept. 30, citing the Charlottesville clash."
Note the article states that Tim Cook made the donation, and that "he would" match other donations from Apple Employees. This is through the Apple Employees Political Action Committee (AEPAC), an organization totally separate from Apple Inc.
In other words, the donation being reported as being made by Apple Inc. is just more Main Stream Media FAKE NEWS. What it is, instead of a corporate donation which would require a Board of Director's meeting, which is unlikely to have occurred in such a short time, is a personal, private donation from Tim Cook from his substantial personal funds, which of course, he did earn by being CEO of Apple.
I have seen these donations couched in the terms "donations from Apple CEO Tim Cook" in at least five places today, while in the past several days it was couched as a donation from Apple. Someone quietly corrected the story to make it accurate as to who is actually is making the donations.
Read the analysis I posted just above. . . it’s not Apple Inc’s money that is being donated to the SPLC and the ADL. It’s Tim Cook’s personal funds he’s donating and the FAKE NEWS has conflated it into Apple itself making the donations. Again.
