Elon Musk tweeted on Friday night that he'd consider making an 'alternative phone' if Twitter is removed from the Apple App Store and Google Play.

Constellation Research CEO Ray Wang weighs in on Elon Musk's management of Twitter amid layoffs and restructuring and discusses Former DNI Director John Ratcliffe calling TikTok a national security threat on 'Cavuto: Coast to Coast.'says he'd consider making an "alternative phone" in the event that Twitter is removed from the Apple App Store and Google Play.

"I certainly hope it does not come to that," Musk replied, "but, yes, if there is no other choice, I will make an alternative phone."Musk's comments come after Phil Schiller, an Apple fellow who's responsible for leading the App Store, deleted his Twitter account. Yoel Roth, former head of trust and safety at Twitter, said in a New York Times op-ed that the social media giant risks being expelled from Apple and Google's app stores if they fail to adhere to guidelines.

Elon already shown he isn’t for free speech by not putting alen on

Looking forward to my Tesla phone.

Twitter should never be booted from from google and apple that would be suicide for both companies

Competition is great , I do like my apple phone though ?

Maybe free phone if you buy a Tesla?

Do it please, regardless

Conservatives Cancel Culture.

I'd buy the ePhone. Stick it to big tech and their censorship.

DogeCoin

Me too

Yes - if own OS

He should start creating a new OS for phones maybe that could be his next new project elonmusk

How's this not censorship?

👍👍♥️

And a lot of people would follow!

Tesla stock market value drop 56% over the past year. Now Musk has pissed off Tesla's liberal customer base who will buy other brands of EVs in the future. Mercedes, Porsche, BMW, etc.

I'm in.

If this happen, I’d buy the alternative phone. I’ve had every Apple phone from the beginning and I would dump it.

It's good good people have money.

$DOGE just jumped 7% in the last 24hrs, & volume is steadily increasing. Dogecoin DOGE DogecoinToTheMoon ELONMUSK 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

Yawn...

And we would happily buy it!

Apple’s woke propaganda is barely tolerable but banning Twitter would be a step too far.

CameliaFard عرضه جمع جور کردن توییتر نداری انوقت گوشی میخوای بسازی 🤣😅😅😅 ElonMusk

It’s just a threat

apple should know, I have 13 Apple devices that get replaced every 2-3 years. If Twitter App goes away, those devices will be gradually swapped out. No hesitation whatsoever.

SPACEX phone,tha5s cool :)

This sure will upset the wokes 😂😂

People are pretty addicted to Twitter. I can see people switching phones if they can’t use their favorite app. Twitter has millions of users.

We read his tweets too, maybe if you start reporting on real stories people may trust you more.

Elon musk is hitching himself to the wrong side of history- Americans don’t like hatred and catering to the hateful minority is a losing proposition - That’s why advertisers are leaving in droves

I don't think most truly appreciate the hypocrisy of this potential move by Apple. Its Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer Barbara Whye (formerly at Intel) has a history of (re)tweets disparaging Republicans and white men.

Yo, we got the tweet. You are not needed in this space. Go back to your website or something. 🤣🤣

But Instagram bro

If Twitter is, the conspiracy is REAL

Does freedom of speech mean freedom the freedom to knowling lie as well as tell the truth?

And hopefully that’ll fail too….

Please be at least a 120 refresh rate screen and have a fingerprint sensor. Twins can open up Face ID.

Apple and Google won’t do that (well, Apple won’t but not so sure about Google).

yall realize that people would have to buy that phone, and that would mean folks would have to sell it. He would have to get providers to put it in their inventory. Y'all really think Verizon, Sprint or T-Moblie are gonna take that on and risk losing market share for Elon?

I’m over Apple iPhones. Overpriced crap. I’ll buy your phone. You have starlink and that’s only going to get better

Just start it.

elonmusk should consider it NOW. I’ve always been an iPhone user, but I would definitely purchase his phone!

Good

Yall gotta stop letting rich people tell yall how to think, man. Yall literally won't believe food is good if you've never been to a restaurant and your friend says it's good until you try it, but let some rich stranger on social media, you've never met tell you how to live?

I would buy it. And I’ve been with apple since 2007. I’ve never owned another phone (or computer, tablet, ear buds…) since. If Twitter leaves iPhone, I leave 🍎.

🤮

👊

I would buy an Elon phone if Twitter was banned by Google and Apple.

Not to mention a huge lawsuit.

It's a threat not just to Twitter but to all Apps.

Posturing

So, Apple and Google seem to be anti-free speech! Without knowing how anything will shake out they will cancel it?

Why would the controlling fascists of Apple and Google want to do that? To prove they are controlling fascists dedicated to suppressing the truth and free speech?

Eventually this guy is gonna run out of money trying make everyone conform to his ideology 🤦🏻

🙏🏻

Elon do a poll on if people would switch phone services if Twitter was kicked off Apple and Google. I'd think you'd find alot of customers.

So this guy wants to own ur phone and how you get information Ohh and if he thinks people should have info hes willing to concede privacy rights in the interest of what is right to republicans…🤷‍♂️

SNAP! GO ELAN! I WILL LEAVE iPhone.

Like him or not, Elon has made a mess of Twitter.

It would be nice if Musk could collaborate with LG in reviving their cell phone division since they already have the expertise.

Do it! I'm up to pussies bow with both of them.

I’d buy one

Remember he has access to technology through Tesla

The next stronghold to be broken is Google. You think we've given ourselves away to China; Google has a hold on us like no other.

If they do that all the iPhones in the house will be in the trash… freedom is more important than the phones elonmusk

That’s the self proclaimed liberals - they never discriminate

He’s losing it

I'm not saying it couldn't be done, but the real challenge would not be hardware, but creating an OS, and an entire app store. For example, look at Microsoft's failure to break into the mobile phone and app market.

请谷歌我们! Please Google Us! 21/11/2022 09:00 am 200 Park Avenue New York MetLife Building Paul Hastings

check this out…

Go ahead

Elon just build your own phone. One that isn’t built in slave camps in China.

I'd buy one in a minute....👍👍

It'll burst into flames

Big Tech is working overtime.

I will gladly trash 🚮 my iPhone, MacBook, AirPods and iwatch immediately. I DARE Apple to try it, if they will not eat the remaining 🍏 themselves.

Oh, so now he's OK with boycotts?

'I don't really care, do you' ?

Maybe it's actually time to put Apple in their place.

Brilliant

Good Luck with that. Many have tried and failed. But I’ll pass.

Great idea

It would be very predictable for the left to push for twitters removal from app stores the same way they pushed parler off to keep their one sided liberal monopoly alive. DemsHateFreeSpeech

If he’s a real capitalist he’d do it. Real capitalists love competition.

Actually I would take the new phone.

10s of millions in the US only will buy his new phone. Around the world....let's see...a phone with all the features minus the 'wokeness'....I think we know the answer.

That phone may burn out like Tesla though.

Needs to work on making sure Tesla’s don’t catch on fire.

A starlink phone with Twitter as portal has always been part of his strategy.

Come on Apple and Google drop Twitter from your APP stores! Save our democracy!

Why ? You just have to buy Apple

I'd get a Tesla phone for the Starlink service alone.

What did they say again? If you see a problem,be the solution. I think we just found someone who follows the saying.... be like Elon and solve a problem...

Do I’ll buy your phone

I’ll buy one !

If that happens, I’m done with Apple and Google!

I would be right there in line to buy one

Meanwhile:

I’m in!! Knew elonmusk would’ hahah! Go get ‘em!

Please do ….🙄

Elon should market a phone regardless.

I will get elons phone. News outlets are just trying to bring down Elon. And apple and google would be making a terrible mistake holding people from a basic right.

Well, for Apple, that’s called the ‘fuck around and find out’ Elon Musk doctrine. Their phone factory in southern China is going up in flames right now. Might have enough on the plate.

I hear Truth Social is in need of investors.

Hahahaha

Twitter for Nokia?

I can see problems with Google as Twitter allows full nudity but the app is rated for 12+

Palm? Blackberry? Oh nokiaaaa. Hahahaha.

Lol didn't those rwnj try that a couple of years ago?

A Telsa Pi Phone connected to Neuralink and Starlink would be fantastic, I’d buy one now and look forward to the day I could connect it to my Telsa Bot.

He is telling them don't do it - don't invite a competition.

So just use Twitter on a laptop who cares

I will be happy to abandon anything Apple or Google

;)...it's time for Elon to get serious, about these guys ;)

Why did citsecurities restrict customer cash withdrawals while showing $65B securities sold but not yet purchased? Wasn’t SBF_FTX only around $8B? Isn’t restricting customer cash withdrawals a sign that a company is in distress? Why does Citadel want to get into crypto?

That would be a big mistake of apple and google.

I will also

` Elon, if you bring a cell that isn't attached at the hip to Google, I want 4. The whole backbone of Gggle is tracking us night and day. Selling what we think is private.

A Starlink Phone would be fantastic, I’d buy one now and look forward to the day I could connect it to my Telsa Bot. elonmusk

I’m game for a new phone

Hey elonmusk, make a PWA version of Twitter and be free from these App stores!
