The triumph of Donald Trump in the US presidential elections encouraged the CEO of Apple, Tim Cook, sent out an email to all the employees of the company. It was the portal to BuzzFeed that made public the mail in which it is invoked to the unit and to "look forward".
The message was sent on Wednesday night, after news of the victory of Donald Trump on Hillary Clinton. The Apple executive made reference to a speech of Martin Luther King where he says that, either way, you always have to move forward. “If you can’t fly, run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward”, was the phrase that he quoted.
Message of encouragement. “while there is a debate about the uncertainties that are to come, you can be sure that the North Star, Apple has not changed,” reads another part of the e-mail. However, the name of Donald Trump is not mentioned in any paragraph of the message.
let us Recall that during the presidential campaign, Donald Trump spoke in a menacing manner to the technology company, which focuses its production in China. “I’m going to force Apple to make their damned computers in the house, in the U.S.,” said the billionaire. On another occasion he proposed a boycott against Apple and said he would use only a Samsung phone. This is because the company was in a legal battle with the FBI for the iPhone encryption of the terrorist of San Bernardino. This is the full text of the email from Apple:
Team,
Today I have heard from many of you about the presidential election. In a political struggle in which the candidates were so different, and that each received a similar number of popular votes, it is inevitable that the result would leave many of you with strong feelings.
We have a very diverse staff members, including the supporters of each candidate. Regardless of the candidate that each one of us supported as individuals, the only way forward is to move together. I remember something that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. he said 50 years ago: “If you can’t fly, run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward“. This advice is timeless, and a reminder that we only do a great job and improve the world moving forward.
