Tim Cook acknowledged Trump's flub and changed his last name to an Apple logo on Twitter
- President Trump called Apple CEO Tim Cook "Tim Apple" at the White House on Wednesday.
- Now Cook is making a lighthearted reference to the nickname by changing his last name to an Apple logo on Twitter.
- Earlier Thursday Trump's daughter Ivanka acknowledged the "Tim Apple" incident on Twitter.
Apple CEO Tim Cook is in on the "Tim Apple" joke.

The Trump quip, made at a meeting of the American Workforce Policy Advisory Board at the White House on Wednesday, quickly went viral. And on Thursday, the president's daughter, Ivanka, who was seated alongside her father and Cook at the meeting, joked about the incident on Twitter.
Now Cook himself is making light of what happened.
Here's his new Twitter name:
