Hysterical if they see this as some sort of moral imperative considering they are all in on supporting the CCP.



I don't believe Elon has much manufacturing in China if any at all. The key to Elon's un-reliance on cheap labor is cheaper and more reliable labor...i.e., robots.

He's referring to Apple...

But Tesla has a factory in Shanghai but it's meant to serve the Chinese market only

I believe he's referring to Apple disabling AirDrop to assist the Chinese government in suppressing news/coverage of anti-lockdown protests.

So they will work with the ChiComs, but work against Musk and Twitter.

Pretty incredible.

It's just a matter of time before everything everyone hates about Titter is recreated on a new platform and Titter dries up and blows away like dog shite.

When the Globo-media and corporate structure starts to bail on Titter then every media personality and all their followers will bail as well. When that happens this same bullshite liberal social media cycle will begin again.

Titter by any other name is still Titter.

What is the answer for Elon to counteract this behavior? "Making my own phone" will takes years.

He hasn't. He thinks they are dead tech and Neuralinks are the next step. This is one of the things I dont support about Elon

Neuralink?

Sounds like something you can buy as an upgrade in Cyberpunk or Shadowrun.

Neuralink.. I'll wait until the 4th or 5th generation is on the market before thinking about getting it. It seems amazing and horrifying at the same time.

Had to research it a little bit, too. Maybe in 50 years from now, but I think all of us will be dead and gone, including Elon, before this is a reality. Becoming a Borg is several decades away, in my opinion. Link to what is neuralink: LINK

I would sell my new samsung right away and get it, too. Idc if it is inferior, either.


I would drop my iphone, iPads, iMac if someone came out with anything that competed with them in a legit privacy freedom perspective. I'd probably keep my stock for a bit as the margins are insane, but things would have really hit the fan for apple if the SSOs kicks in.

You own it. You can still view and use Twitter through a browser even if it’s removed from the App Store. But Apps are much more effective at engaging your audience and promoting your brand, so it would be a big loser for Twitter if it was taken off the App Store

Just like how apple removed fortnite from its garbage app store. fun fact, fortnite made more money after being removed from apple. Epic Games came out on top. not only did apple lose one of the best selling games on the planet but unreal engine.

it will be much better for Elon to leave apple. a lot of the twit addicted freaks will follow it, not the other way around.

Yes but Parlor was new and not established like Twitter. Big difference. New can’t sustain big tech assaults because trying to build following with limited start up money. But old and highly used can like Twitter
