    It’s genuinely insane to me that he’d want to be in that role for so long. Like what do you even need past 10M$ of net worth lmao.

    From the Apple press release:

    Cook will continue in his role as CEO through the summer as he works closely with Ternus on a smooth transition. As executive chairman, Cook will assist with certain aspects of the company, including engaging with policymakers around the world.

    I guess Tim isn’t ready to give up handling the bribes just yet.
