Tim Cook knows the Trump administration isn’t listening.
For Apple’s 50th anniversary, Cook did an interview with Esquire’s Ryan D’Agostino, who heroically attempts to get Cook to say anything of consequence and gets basically nowhere. Except for this, about Cook’s interaction with the Trump administration:
“So you can talk with them about your point of view on things. They may not agree, but you can engage. You can be heard. You may not, in the end, be able to convince… I’ve never believed that just yelling from the sideline about plus or minus was a good strategy. Your voice just goes into the wind.”
Cook’s point is that engaging is worthwhile, even though he knows he’s not accomplishing anything or convincing anyone. Sort of sounds like his voice is just going… into the wind.
