Apple hasn’t stated why, but it’s clearly because of their anger towards Musk as well as Apple’s apparent demand for censorship and discriminatory practices.

Musk's latest tweet,
quote:

Good conversation. Among other things, we resolved the misunderstanding about Twitter potentially being removed from the App Store. Tim was clear that Apple never considered doing so.

The lashing out by the leftists when their uniparty platform all of a sudden, for the most part, stops censoring conservatives and allows for more free speech is very telling.

Here I was thinking that nothing could pry me from my iPhone.

Discrimination and support of censorship like this could…with quickness.

I’m old enough to remember when there was an organization called the American Civil Liberties Union, also known as the ACLU would would fight against things like censorship.

Sadly though the ACLU, like so many American institutions, has been taken over by leftists who want all views except their own stamped out completely by whatever means necessary.

I’d love to know the percent of Twitter use that comes from mobile iOS. I bet it’s an incredible amount

I would 100% switch to an Elon platform and an Elon Free Speech Phone.

Bring it on!

If you think watching the most powerful entities in the United States coordinate to silence free speech is funny then I’m not sure what to tell you.

You are either ignorant to the consequences that come from this or just simply a fool.

This how you sue and get back what you paid for Twitter from Apple. Apple has DEEP pockets yo! Now you own Twitter for free! Elon is not dumb.

Apple wants to support the CCP against lockdown protests and deplatform Twitter.

If there is a consistent moral imperative they are trying to convey I’d love for someone to walk me through it.

Can’t wait for my Musk phone. My next vehicle will be a Tesla. And in a few years I’m gonna build a house with a Tesla solar roof all hooked up and connected to each other with SpaceX Starlink internet.

I already suspected. Now we know where they stand.

Not funny, but it’s nice to have this out in the open.

If I'm a big tech guy, say Tim Cook at Apple or Mark Zuckerberg at Facebook, the last person I want to piss off is Elon Musk.

Why poke a bear that has proven he has no shits to give and will come after you and your company with both barrels blazing?

And for what gain? I could see it if there was some challenge between you and Musk, but this is for nothing but Woke Points.

Does Tim Cook want to see a Tesla phone? Does he want to see a Twitter app store? Does Zuckerberg want to see Musk get into VR?

Why choose battles that don't need to be fought?

Reminds of the days of Trump being poked and then running for president and winning.


Also, I don't believe this would withstand anti-trust scrutiny.
