The news comes just weeks after Ternus took over from Cook, who served as Apple’s CEO for 15 years. Cook is now executive chairman of the company’s board, where Apple says his responsibilities include “engaging with policymakers around the world.”

Quantitative change leading to qualitative change. We’re entering a phase transition of monopoly capitalism, not that monopoly didn’t exist already, but it’s taking on a more overt political role than in the past. Everyone was focused on Elon with DOGE as a novelty, but imo it’s the new normal going forward, no matter who is in office. It makes sense from a materialist perspective, as the power of these transnational corporations is arguably larger than state power in 2026.
