Elon Musk fired off a series of tweets today aimed at Apple for allegedly threatening 'to withhold Twitter from its App Store' and for pulling most of its ad spend on Twitter.

: The tweets are part of a broader narrative Musk is trying to paint that Apple is a monopoly and uses its power to censor voices and chargeto put pressure on advertisers that have threatened to pull ad dollars from Twitter in recent weeks, alleging they are trying to "destroy free speech.

New data from MediaRadar, an advertising intelligence firm, finds that Apple has spent nearly $40 million on Twitter ads this year.: Google, like Apple, enforces content moderation policies for app eligibility in its Google Play store , but as of now, the company has yet to contact Twitter about any potential violations or issues, a source told Axios.: Musk isn't the first Big Tech executive to go after Apple, alleging it misuses its market power.

Apple has shown no reluctance to ban apps, including several that cater to far-right users, if it determines that they do not operate effective content moderation policies to screen child sex abuse materials, threats to personal safety and other objectionable content. If Twitter's scaled-back content moderation team and chaotic new policies lead to more such content making it past the service's filters, all eyes will be on Apple.

Do both Apple!

So what?

The idea that Apple is required to stock in its store every app created (and process payments through them) is absurd but that is essentially Musk’s position

“Thank You”, 🍎!!!

As MuellerSheWrote had said, this all makes sense if his mission is to destroy the company.

HOW is this the richest man in the world? Someone pls explain.

Is he morphing into Trump?

Monopoly. That’s funny. Apple’s marketshare rose to just over 22% for 2022.

Who could've predicted such a thing? 🤔

Spoiler: See outcome of Epic Games vs Apple

In what universe has this worked for anyone? Surely, Musk can’t be getting his business advice from a man who bankrupted a casino. Did Elon put out another poll about this or was it an off-the cuff move?

Good

Nazis get so fussy when they don’t get their way. Unfortunately for Apartheid Barbie, telling nazis NO is the American way of life.

elonmusk is like a rabid lapdog pissing against a tree.

Apple should delete twitter from the App Store. Elmo would lose his mind

Tim Apple is pissed.

Elon pitching Apple for ad revenue😆🤣

There is evidence that ASD is associated with delusional beliefs.

I thought he was a smarter businessman than this. Just like Trump, every time he does stupid sh!t his brand is leas and less attractive to consumers, investors, and customers.

Teh freedom of speeching, it hurts.

Why am I experiencing both deja-vu and the image of Musk running for POTUS?

Elon the Great has an Army behind him

He didn't get the memo that choosing where you pay to advertise is one of the oldest forms of free speech in America.

Taxation is theft ✊

Is this kindergarten?

This'll work lol
