I don’t know if I would go so far as to say “monk-like”. He’s a college football die-hard. But he is a very chill dude.
I wish more tech execs were in Cook’s mold. Reserved. Controlled. Calm. No Twitter beefs, no overt politics, no blow-ups behind closed doors.

Excuse me? Giving a literal gold trophy to the God-Emperor Trump is not politics?
That's like saying going to Washington DC at all is "politics."
It'd be bad business stewardship if he didn't; bad for shareholders, ultimately.
It looks silly optically, but it's plain to see that Apple has trump nailed psychologically. And it worked! They knew what was needed to get an administration to support the company in meaningful ways.
May we do better on the next election.
No, it's just a business tax. Do you see Cook getting on twitter and parroting the god emperor's topic of the day?
I saw Cook going to the private screening of the Melania biopic on the same day Alex Pretti was killed.
So you think he is a Trump supporter, then? I would have guessed precisely the opposite. My assumption is that the trophy was his way of looking out for the best interests of Apple. In that regard probably a fairly good ROI.
A bribe
