I love Elon, in a non-homo way.

99% of mobile games are straight up garbage bullshite that still try to force money out of you w/BS artificial barriers that stop you from being able to play w/o paying even more money even if you buy the full game. The world would be better off w/o them.

Why would they remove them for the app store?

Liberals love freedom!

No he won't. Microsoft and BlackBerry tried. The biggest problem was apps. MS threw money at developers and still couldn't get them to develop apps for the windows phones.

The man builds Rockets, Cars and satellites with in house components. In his spare time he is transforming Twitter. And you think he could not build a phone?
I would not take that bet.

So he bought a local TV station and had them show westerns all night.



He also bought another casino because their neon sign was shining in his hotel room. He was a very interesting guy.

More accurate headline: Elon tweeted that he would make a competing phone IF Apple and Google remove Twitter.

You have to halfway wonder if the guy with Starlink isn't already planning to get into the phone business - on a global scale

I’m so confused because so many on here think Elon is the alpha male but they also think you are a POS libtard if you buy his vehicle. So do we support this phone or not? Do we wait for Trump’s approval?

Why would someone hate this? It isn't going to happen. Apple and Google are not going to remove twitter. It would be a dumb business move especially if someone can create their own smartphone brand. In theory that would be dumb.

It's apps and ecosystems, not phones.

Will be nice to get a phone that isn't loaded to the gills with spyware.

99% of apps are fricking useless shite, they were cool once but this isn't 2012 anymore, all I really want is GPS.

You may be on to something. Poses as a world savior through technology for 3.5 years and then turns heel and start wiping out huge swaths of the population with the very technology that he was praised for.

Literally a lie

No one has an issue with electric cars. I rag on them but don't have an issue with them. I have an issue with them being forced upon at the rate they are by the current administration.

I also think hybrids are better than all electric and my wife has a Prius

Also, why do so many of you people think you have to agree to support 100% of something someone does?

Oh never mind...you weren't looking for a real answer and just wanted to spread hyperbole.

Liberals can be quite stupid.

Doesn't understand the difference between buying an electric car at one's discretion vs a government crackdown on fossil fuels which forces people to buy electric.
