>Like if Tim Cook decided to move to Alabama that’s where Apple Park would be

What a dumb take. Tim Cook lives in California because Apple was founded there over 40 years ago. And Apple will stay in California because most of the talent Apple needs to succeed is already there. And since Apple will stay in California so will their CEO.

You must be on some really good shrooms to think Apple will uproot itself just to move to wherever Tim Cook would move.

While this is true, it's also funny to note that Apple was only founded in South Bay because Jobs and Wozniak wanted to be close to their families. There was already talent in the region, but the origin of that talent started the same way. Shockley (of Shockley Semiconductor and traitorous eight fame) moved the company from LA to South Bay to take care of his mother [1]. Silicon Valley is only Silicon Valley because of "I want to be with my parents" decisions.
