It's probably a reference to when Trump called Tim Cook, Tim Apple by accident

Ignorance, not accident.

Crap DOUBLE WAIT I'm now realizing Tim Apple wasn't a real guy's name, dammit RIP my other comment

No, no it made your other comment funnier

Haha thanks for making me laugh. If it helps, it took me years to recognize that Chipotle didn’t have the chipotle flavor Tabasco simply because it tastes good.

I can see some merit to making CEOs change their legal last name to whatever company they're the head of.

Tim Boeing would be a lot more noticable in the public world.

To prevent private equity from doing their shell company nonsense to hide accountability, just double-barrel (n many times) all the companies together in the last name.

This is very funny applied to all businesses. "Hi, I'm John Smith and Son's and Son's, and this is my son, John Smith and Son's and Son's Jr., at least until he takes over the family business."
