O promisiune a miliardarilor – acum unii vor să se retragă

👉 Inițierea campaniei Giving Pledge pentru donații semnificative

În 2010, Warren Buffett și Bill Gates au lansat o campanie dezarmant de simplă adresată celor mai bogați oameni din lume, denumită Giving Pledge: un angajament public de a dărui mai mult de jumătate din averea lor în timpul vieții sau la moarte. Potrivit techcrunch.com, anul părea să solicite acest lucru, având în vedere că tehnologia crea miliardari mai repede decât orice altă industrie din istorie în acel deceniu, iar întrebarea despre cum aceste averi vor afecta societatea abia începea să prindă contur. „Vorbind despre trilioane de-a lungul timpului”, a declarat Buffett lui Charlie Rose în 2010. Trilioanele s-au materializat; însă dăruirea, nu atât de mult.

Apple's diplomatic tariff refund strategy shows why Tim Cook is called the Trump whisperer - Business Insider

Tim Cook is positioning Apple to take advantage of tariff refunds as Donald Trump watches closely.The outgoing Apple CEO said on Thursday during the company's Q2 earnings call that Apple is "following the established processes" to apply for tariff refunds and plans to reinvest any money it recoups into US innovation and manufacturing. Those investments, he added, would be "in addition to our prior commitments in the US."Cook's comments show how Apple is navigating tariffs that have become both a cost issue and a political one — and underscore why he's earned a reputation as the Trump whisperer.Trump raised the stakes around those refunds in an April 21 appearance on CNBC's "Squawk Box." Asked about companies like Apple and Amazon, which had not yet announced plans to pursue refunds, Trump said the companies were "brilliant" if they didn't seek reimbursement, and their decision not to pursue tariff refunds served as evidence that they "got to know me very well.""I'll remember them," Trump added, signaling that the decision could carry political weight.Cook has maintained a notably close working relationship with Trump across both of his administrations, previously securing tariff exemptions for Apple products while pairing those efforts with high-profile US investment commitments.That relationship has helped Cook stand out among tech executives for his ability to navigate Trump's orbit without the same level of public friction, maintaining his direct line of communication with the White House while other tech leaders clashed more openly with the administration, Business Insider has reported.Apple's strategy — securing refunds while emphasizing domestic reinvestment — reflects Cook's careful balancing act between cost management and political optics.Other major companies are already cashing in on their refunds.
