Time 100 Summit
The Time 100 Summit is a gathering of āthe worldās most influential peopleā across various categories like government, business, entertainment, and more. You can watch the full interview below. Since itās currently still live, I canāt share a specific time marker.
Some of the quotes:
You know this probably not known to a lot of people in here, but Apple doesnāt have a PAC (political action committee). Appleās probably the only large company I would think that doesnāt have a PAC, I refuse to have one because I think it shouldnāt exist.
I wish that [San Bernardino] case would have gone to court to be honest, it was dropped the day before. And Ā now after the inspector general reports have come out, our worst fears have been confirmed that it was a very rigged case to begin with. And so I think this was not the governmentās finest hour. I have personally never seen the government apparatus move against a company like it did here in a very dishonest manner.
