This move makes zero sense to me. Why, change it? It’s not it’s official name or international recognized name so wtf
Curry favor with the trump admin

And it will undoubtedly pay off for them. This is the first brazenly tech oligarchy-driven administration.

Remember who was at Trump’s inauguration? Musk, obviously, but also:

  • Tim Cook, CEO of Apple
  • Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon
  • Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta
  • Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet

Tim Apple isn’t your friend, either. No oligarch is.

These tech billionaires flanked Trump at inauguration

Some of the most exclusive seats at President Donald Trump’s inauguration were reserved for powerful tech CEOs who also are among the world’s richest men. That’s a shift from tradition, especially for a president who has characterized himself as a champion of the working class. Seats so close to the president are usually reserved for the president’s family, past presidents and other honored guests. In one image, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, stand beside Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and his fiancee, Lauren Sánchez, along with Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Elon Musk, the SpaceX and Tesla owner who is a close Trump adviser. Also at the Capitol were Apple CEO Tim Cook and TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew.

I was hoping Apple wouldn’t be there considering Tim is openly gay
He donated to Trump right from his pockets. He’s a traitor.
