Apple CEO Tim Cook is set to host a fundraiser for Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton who has the most support for Silicon Valley workers this evening.
It should be noted that Tim Cook and Silicon Valley is likely not supporting Donald Trump because he has made numerous controversial statements, and called for policies like new ideological tests for immigrants, aimed explicitly at Muslims.
Trump has even criticized Apple directly, in one case for refusing to help the FBI unlock the iPhone of San Bernardino shooter Syed Rizwan Farook. Apple argued that it would’ve had to write new software and fundamentally undermine iOS security. Trump proposed a boycott, despite owning Apple stock himself.
The candidate has also promised to make Apple bring more of its manufacturing back to the U.S. Most of the company’s products are assembled in China, taking advantage of cheap labor costs.
