Apple uses top non-consensual porn website to hype up new product releases

There is no explanation on Earth that will make it make sense that Apple CEO Tim Cook has an active account on X. Not only is the platform run by one of the most destructive and despicable human beings alive today, but it is home to Nazis, horrific hate speech, and the worst humanity has to offer.

Even knowing that, Tim Cook posted a little hype thing for the start of a big week of releases. Thanks Tim, you did great.

There is nothing that requires Tim Cook to be there. Even if he wanted to keep an account to ensure no impersonators could take his handle, there is no reason to post.

The fact that he continues to do so is yet another avoidable black eye to Apple's reputation. There's nothing about X that says "Apple needs to be here."

Fine, you got bullied into advertising because we have a giant orange baby and his cohort making idiotic demands. But why is Tim Cook using X?

The only answer I can conceive of is that Cook is so out of the loop that he has no idea that anything has changed. I have zero doubt that Cook doesn't browse X in any fashion. There's also a fairly solid chance that he doesn't personally write or post to his account.

That said, there's still no excuse. Is one of the biggest and most powerful companies on Earth incapable of getting information out without needing to use the most favored Nazi pedo platform?

Yes, I'm aware that someone is going to say "Tim Cook is secretly loving all this and is aligned with Musk/Trump for real." Let's not get silly here. Cook is trapped in this stupid situation like the rest of us, but he's got the problem of running Apple too.

Apple has even worked to add a little social media feed to its Newsroom website. It's just a glorified PR space, but the social timeline of executive posts is a neat idea.

But why are they tied to posts on X? Why not just post to Newsroom and call it a day? Is Apple really worried that somehow the fan base and journalists are going to miss it?

Would it really be that bad to have some kind of silly Apple text-based social platform?

I don't like that Apple is on Instagram either, but that's a much lesser problem. X is a literal disaster.

Earn a little free good PR Apple – get your executives off of the platform. It's beyond time.

Maybe Apple needs to start a blog?
