The president has these companies hostage in terms of trade rules. They appease him or they lose out, and considering the state of big tech, they need friends, because the AI bubble has drained their supply chains of resources.
The thing is, Apple was the exception in terms of the “AI” circlejerkery. Not trying to fanboi for them - simply pointing out that they are nowhere near the proportional outlay that the kool-aid drinkers are, in terms of ML spend.
They couldn’t figure it out and their AI dep has been in shambles. Apple is/were not ‘good’ in any sense of the word. There are docs that describes why apple didn’t get on the AI train, and they were NOT trying deliberately to fight back against AI - in any way…
Leave out the AI parts and you’re right. People just don’t realize that Trump will make it very hard to do business in the US if you don’t follow his requests.
To the level that should be (and in many cases are but haven’t yet been challenged successfully in court) illegal for the president to do, for many reasons.

Yeah, the poor mistreated crapple Corp are SO good and ONLY wewil Drump is what suddenly makes them a huge international evil turd !
I mean they obviously have no fanbase/money/power, so they cannot push back in any way, and are only now being ‘forced’ to be an evil fascist corp…
So… lets all defend/protect the good Apple corp against the orange oligarch puppet, that is the ONLY reason they just now turned evil…
…Okay then…
The corpos like it that way. It’s so much easier to make a well-placed ‘donation’ than have to work around all those annoying laws and regulations.
