jerryskids 6,550 Posted February 24 Quote Mark Gurman 3rd Managing Editor and Chief Correspondent on Apple + Tech at Bloomberg News and TV 7h LinkedIn Apple Inc., as it seeks relief from US President Donald Trump’s tariffs on goods imported from China, said that it will hire 20,000 new workers and produce AI servers in the US. The company said Monday that it plans to spend $500 billion domestically over the next four years, which will include work on a new server manufacturing facility in Houston, a supplier academy in Michigan and additional spending with its existing suppliers in the country. The disclosure comes days after Trump and Apple Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook met in the Oval Office. “He’s investing hundreds of billions of dollars,” Trump said after the meeting last week. He implied that the iPhone maker is investing locally because it does not want to pay tariffs. Trump has threatened an additional 10% tax on items imported from China, where Apple builds the vast majority of iPhones and other products. But he has traded investment in the US for relief in the past. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/markgurman_apple-will-add-20000-us-jobs-amid-threat-activity-7299749880028110849-oyXY?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAADSC1cBmLiSjJ8vjSK477dCaW3jDBwRYF0 More winning.

TrailGuy 552 Posted February 24 Apple said it hired 20,000 research and development workers over the last five years and said in 2021 it would invest $430 billion locally over the next half-decade. Apple didn’t say whether the new investments were already underway before Trump’s win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote The $500 billion investment and pledge to add 20,000 new jobs mark Apple’s biggest US commitment to date. Apple said it hired 20,000 research and development workers over the last five years and said in 2021 it would invest $430 billion locally over the next half-decade. That means the latest development is a slight acceleration over its prior investments and previously announced plans, adding $39 billion in spend and an additional 1,000 jobs annually. This is on top of their past investments. Quote The 20,000 additional jobs, Apple said, will focus on research and development, silicon engineering and AI. The company is opening up what it calls a manufacturing academy in Detroit, where it will help smaller companies with manufacturing. It already operates an academy for app developers in the city. It’s also doubling its manufacturing fund in the US to $10 billion. Sorry you hate more and increased investment in the United States. Then again you don't care about our country's success; it's all about your TDS. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't know what you're talking about pudding head. I think it's great. I root for the American economy. It just has nothing to do with Trump. Apple has a long track record of investing in America. The guy from linkedin tried to give Trump credit for it with tariffs. The article I linked even points out it's unwarranted. Quote He implied that the iPhone maker is investing locally because it does not want to pay tariffs. Trump wrote in a post Monday on his social network Truth Social that Apple was making the investment because of “faith in what we are doing.” Apple didn’t say whether the new investments were already underway before Trump’s win. This is what Trump does. He takes credit for everything good and blames anything bad on someone else. You would know this if you didn't have your head up his ass.

I guess it is consistent with the fantasy pretend finance exec world you live in. LinkedIn was an excerpt of the article, from the writer at Bloomberg. I'm sure you missed it since it was in bold, 36 point font, but the headline of the article: Quote Apple Will Add 20,000 US Jobs Amid Threat from Trump Tariffs It also happened shortly after Cook met with Trump: Quote The disclosure comes days after Trump and Apple Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook met in the Oval Office. Bloomberg seems to think Trump influenced this new, higher investment. You don't though. I'm sure you are right. This might be a good time to take a break from the internet, and reach out to your vast team to see how things are going in your empire within the billion dollar healthcare-adjacent company.

Do you think trump or his tariffs had anything to do with apple's investment in America? Keep in mind they made a nearly identical investment in America under Biden.
