People hoping that X gets taken off the App Store don’t realize that, if the rumors are true, it can be side loaded in the very near future… 😂

i’m confused didn’t he just say not supporting israel is akin to supporting genocide? which one is it mr musk?

But Apple won’t pause its ties with China. Canceling Jon Stewart’s show is the lowest of low

Pause?

Musk: "I'm soh-wee".

Tim Apple: "Release the Funds!"

Apple's advertising on Twitter was basically an extortion payment. During one of Elon's manic episodes, he threatened to push for anti-trust scrutiny into the App store. TC threw a few million bucks at him and he shut up and went away and it was money well spent. That's how an actual business person thinks. The ROI on those investment dollars wasn't the advertising, it was mollifying a gadfly.

Now that Twitter is massively imploding. Apple has the air cover quietly cancel the extortion payment and Elon doesn't have the bandwidth at this point to threaten Apple.

Tim Cook might be the greatest of all time! S-Tier CEO. Elon Musk... D-Tier. Yaccarino... F-Tier.
