Answer
We do not have any concrete proof to substantiate the tie being a symbol of the cross. It is, however, Makrooh (reprehensible) to wear a tie or any attire that is commonly adopted by non-Muslims.
A Muslim should don that attire which is Sunnah or closest to the Sunnah.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
