Tim Cook's new Twitter name calls out Trump's 'Tim Apple' flub

If you can say one thing about Apple CEO, it's that he has a great sense of humor.

Cook has changed his Twitter name from "Tim Cook" (pretty obvious) to "Tim ," seemingly in homage to President Donald Trump's flub on Wednesday when he called him "Tim Apple" during a meeting.

A quick hop into the Internet Wayback Machine confirms the change has taken place since Trump's faux pas -- which was so glorious we should all definitely rewatch it.

It's definitely the best way to have some fun with a viral moment. And it's hard to read too much malice into the gesture, given that Cook was willing to actually sit next to Trump just a day ago.

Though I do look forward to a somewhat silly yet stilted video about the committee hearing to decide on this change at the beginning of the next big Apple keynote.

Of course Twitter noticed Cook's tweak immediately:

And maybe Tim should consider sticking with it. Prince had a fine run with a symbol name, and it's great branding.
