Does Tim Cook own a Tesla? Hopefully he had a thing or two to say about software release processes and not using customers as beta testers. Apple hasn't really ever broken my MacBook Pro with a software update. Tesla on the other hand...
Elizabeth Warren is not “the government.” The things she wants are routinely ignored by the rest of the senate and the White House. Just not Fox News.View attachment 879980
So disingenuous. Elon wants to make it transparent and he doesn't want the government to decide, that's why feel threatened that one person get's to decide that they don't get to decide.
When it comes to Twitter I trust nothing that comes from Elon.View attachment 879980

I use a Samsung phone. Twitter on Android is free, how much do you pay for it on an iPhone?The 30% fee is definitely real. I doubt Apple is going to make an exception for Twitter.
There being an imminent threat of Twitter being removed from the App Store is definitely fake.
Or the call could have been like this: “I see you’ve been spreading some completely made-up BS on Twitter and.... no, not that. And.... no, not that either... that stuff about us dropping the Twitter app. It’s harming how people see our brand. And yours. For no good reason. So why don’t you drop by and I’ll not only explain why that is unlikely and even let you talk to our App Store leadership and look at our email traffic about Twitter.Of course it was Cook.
How do you get fired if you're Tim Cook:
1) Try to build a car.
2) Remove Twitter from the app store and push the only person in the world who actually could compete with you into competing with you.
3) Go to war with Tesla, SpaceX/Starlink and Twitter.
4) Abuse your monopoly power thus inviting the govt to take it away.
It's the in-app purchases ($8 monthly) that would be subject to the 30% withholding.I use a Samsung phone. Twitter on Android is free, how much do you pay for it on an iPhone?
30% of nothing is nothing. Also they can easily circumvent in-app purchases.It's the in-app purchases ($8 monthly) that would be subject to the 30% withholding.
Bogus mass reporting is also used by China to try to suppress opponents.ELON MUSK CLAIMS to be “fighting for free speech in America” but the social network’s new owner appears to be overseeing a purge of left-wing activists from the platform. Several prominent antifascist organizers and journalists have had their accounts suspended in the past week, after right-wing operatives appealed directly to Musk to ban them and far-right internet trolls flooded Twitter’s complaints system with false reports about terms of service violations. As the Los Angeles City Councilmember Mike Bonin noted on Twitter, the suspended users include Chad Loder, an antifascist researcher whose open-source investigation of the U.S. Capitol riot led to the identification and arrest of a masked Proud Boy who attacked police officers. The account of video journalist Vishal Pratap Singh, who reports on far-right protests in Southern California, has also been suspended.
Left-Wing Voices Are Silenced on Twitter as Far-Right Trolls Advise Elon Musk
Elon Musk appears to have outsourced decisions about who to ban from Twitter to the platform’s right-wing extremists, like Andy Ngo.theintercept.com
“Twitter suspends accounts that violate the Twitter rules”the suspended users include Chad Loder, an antifascist researcher. The account of video journalist Vishal Pratap Singh, has also been suspended.
No, it’s a 30% tax on the internet!30% of nothing is nothing. Also they can easily circumvent in-app purchases.
Sure, but frequency matters. If I had to use an adverb of indefinite frequency to describe how often a software update breaks things, I'd say that Tesla's updates usually, normally, or often break stuff, while Apple's updates seldom or rarely do. But you're right, Tesla is better than "always" and Apple is worse than "never".Yeah, but that doesn't apply to all of their products:
Crucial iOS update is breaking iPhones but avoiding it could be worse
IPHONE users are reporting the newest version of iOS 14 is turning their smartphones into useless "paperweights"www.express.co.ukApple's macOS Monterey update breaks some computers
Reports of bricked computers suggest it may be worth waiting for better-behaving codewww.theregister.comNew Apple MacOS Ventura Update Breaks Security Tools
Apple’s new macOS 13 Ventura update broke third-party security tools for millions of users.www.cyberghostvpn.com
Just a small subset. Don't assume Apple's updates are all perfect (neither are Windows updates from Microsoft) and certainly don't think that Tesla is somehow alone in breaking certain features or functionality with software updates.
It was a public demonstration of power. You either have it or you don't. Looks like Elon has it. (Or else maybe Tim invites everyone over to offer big discounts on their service.) Elon needed this done fast and he made it happen. Bravo.Or the call could have been like this: “I see you’ve been spreading some completely made-up BS on Twitter and.... no, not that.

Yeah, 1 o’clock, great, I’ll be at the front gate waiting in a white Model X."
If Elon had the power wouldn't Tim Cook have visited Twitter?It was a public demonstration of power. You either have it or you don't. Looks like Elon has it. (Or else maybe Tim invites everyone over to offer big discounts on their service.) Elon needed this done fast and he made it happen. Bravo.
Would you have wanted to be seen going to Twitter HQ if you were Cook? The real question is: Who made the call? Cook gets to save face but Elon won.If Elon had the power wouldn't Tim Cook have visited Twitter?

Exactly. The optics are: Musk went to Apple, not vice versa.Honestly, I see the opposite. Everything Elon did regarding Apple all looked like weakness:
1) Accuse Apple of threatening to remove Twitter from the app store, without presenting any evidence.
2) Elon makes the dumbest statement possible about Apple hating free speech because they backed off on ads.
3) Elon @tim_cook twitter handle.
4) Elon shows up at the Apple HQ and then thanks Tim
During all of of this, Tim doesn't take the bait and doesn't say anything publicly. It's a 100% clown show from Elon. Nothing about anything he did shows strength or power.
