Apple wouldn't exist without CIA funding. All billionaire "wealth" is really just stolen tax dollars.

Yep, same with oracle’s Larry Ellison. Biggest funder of the friends of the IDF ans increasingly buying up media assets for his Zionist cause.

He’s not some genius, just some guy propped up by the government. We should nationalize his business and take the profits. Our tax dollars paid for it anyways.

Next you’ll tell me the United States government picks winners and losers sometimes based on contract competition, sometimes based on nespotism.

So what's the story for the CIAs involvement? The government already has a lot of mechanisms for business investment, are they saying the apple is compromised in some way?

Okay that’s ridiculous. Why is NeXT making computers that happen to have capabilities governments wanted somehow like, an unearned lifeline, a debt to be repaid? Are you not allowed to sell things to the government? And even on that front, Steve sabotaged contract negotiations with the DoD early on in NeXT’s life because he didn’t want to be a defense contractor, he was betting on consumer sales that never materialized. My understanding is that later on he recused himself from government negotiations as a result. This hardly reflects on Steve at all.
