Apple makes a big point of highlighting their privacy features and pushing back against some government requests for exactly this reason; to allay fears about consolidation and overreach. I doubt Tim Cook is a passionate believer in privacy as a human right, but it's effective messaging so he pushes it.
Musk's approach is the polar opposite from Apple. A capricious and petulant owner who goes out of his way to appease racists and dictators is not someone most people are comfortable with handing a lot of control and information about their lives to.
- linuxftw 3y agoApple is a corporation. They could be lead by an entirely new executive team tomorrow if that's what the shareholders want. I wouldn't do business with Musk personally, but I don't think most people view him the way you do. In any case, we're talking about normies are comfortable with. They don't really consider any of this stuff.

- NickC25 3y agoTim Cook believes in all sorts of things....when he in the US/EU. When he's sucking up to China, all the morals and values he ingrained by growing up a gay man in the American deep South quickly and rather conveniently go right out the window.
