Getting compared to President Donald Trump, who has earned a disreputable status in many people’s minds is not the greatest feeling in the world. Yet, this is exactly what legendary Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose did with Apple CEO Tim Cook. What’s odd about the situation, however, is that it isn’t clear why he did so.
Rose made his rather cryptic pronouncement on Wednesday, writing on his Twitter account that “Tim Cook is the Donald Trump of the music industry.” There are two interesting bits about this development that caught people’s attention.
One is the fact that it’s a fairly rare occurrence when Rose Tweets about something. The other is the mystery behind the statement, which doesn’t seem to stem from any particular issue between Rose and the Apple CEO.
Fans of the icon have been prodding him to explain his enigmatic post to no avail, Fortune reports. Like a lot of things about the rocker, his sentiments about Cook might remain a mystery forever.
What is clear is that the rock star isn’t happy with the current POTUS either, Business Insider reports. In a Tweet this past January, Rose echoed the sentiments of many other people who see the chaos of the White House for what it is and who is causing all of it.
“The WH is the current US gold standard of what can be considered disgraceful,” Rose Tweeted, at the time.
Absent an answer from the famed musician himself, many are speculating that he might be referring to the music streaming service that Apple is running. Many artists have always taken issue with such services, saying that they are not getting paid for their hard work. Even though services like Spotify do pay for royalties, much of it go to music labels instead of the actual musicians.
