Apple executive Tony Blevins, the company’s vice president of procurement, is leaving the firm after making a crude comment on TikTok. Blevins was asked what he does for a living by Daniel Mac who creates content on TikTok and Instagram. Mac is known for asking that question to people who are driving expensive cars and Blevins was behind the wheel of a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. The car is reportedly valued at $500,000.

He was forced out at Apple after spending 22 years with the Cupertino-based company which means that he worked at the tech giant before it introduced the iPhone in 2007. Bloomberg’s report noted that Blevins was one of 30 top Apple executives who report directly to CEO Tim Cook or COO Jeff Williams. His job included negotiating with suppliers to keep their prices low and he also worked with contract manufacturers like Foxconn, Pegatron, and other third-party firms that manufacture Apple products.
