Apple CEO Tim Cook has joined the list of tech CEOs making the pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago to pay their respects to President-elect Donald Trump.
As President-elect Donald Trump gears up for his return to the Oval Office, a growing number of tech industry leaders are making their way to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, seemingly in an effort to court the incoming administration. The latest high-profile executive to join this trend is Apple CEO Tim Cook, who had dinner with Trump at the resort on Friday, marking their first in-person interaction since a phone call two months ago.
During a mid-October appearance on Patrick Bet-David’s podcast, Trump revealed that Cook had called him to discuss the European Union’s $15 billion fine imposed on Apple. Trump’s transition team and Apple have not provided comments on the specifics of their recent meeting.
Cook’s visit to Mar-a-Lago comes on the heels of other tech giants stepping forward to support Trump’s inauguration. OpenAI’s Sam Altman has pledged to personally donate $1 million to the inaugural fund, while Amazon, founded by billionaire Jeff Bezos, plans to contribute $1 million in cash and an additional $1 million in-kind by streaming the January 20 ceremony through its Prime Video service. Trump also mentioned an upcoming meeting with Bezos, whom he has previously criticized.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg who also recently visited Mar-a-Lago, has already donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund. This move, along with the contributions from other tech companies, signals a shift in the industry’s approach to engaging with the incoming administration. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
