I hate seeing Apple and Hassett in the same sentence.

Doesn’t Apple make these commitments fairly regularly and then not follow through?

Apple hands those out all the time, they’re always either meaningless or money they were planning to spend anyway and they count stuff like “the 70% of app revenues we don’t steal from developers” as “investment”

Because they need some predictability on tariffs from these idiots before they can price their new iPhones next month

Remember when administrations didn't feel like they had to tout everything happening in the private sector to distract from their idiocy? 🤔

Yep, because it’s rare for Apple to invest… This seems to be the new play - the government announcing (and trying to take credit for) decisions made by private entities.

And it likely isn’t even real. Let’s watch and see if Apple ever actually contracts to build.

It is a $2.5B investment in a partnership with Corning to make glass in the US. I like Apple, and they should have rallied some after earnings, but this is not a $100B investment and not a reason to be up 10%. The market is also rallying on 100% tariffs for semis. WTF? The market has gone insane.

What announcement, especially about future events, from Hassett, Lutnick or anyone from this administration has proven reliable? IMO - Not news. Until it happens, anything they say is just propaganda

🥱 They have claimed $16 trillion in investment already. Where is it? Why is the economy tanking then? Hassett is a stone cold liar. He just does it with a smile, not a scowl.
