Yep. Moral of the story: businesses and businessmen should stay in their lane.And we all know how Apple trying to build their own car and their own AI has worked out. Not to mention that Apple’s spaceship hasn’t managed a single liftoff yet.
So go with Starlink or get Big Beautiful Wonderful made in America 25% Tariff?
Long before that, when he accused rescue workers of being paedophiles.
Elon, gatekeeper, FCC, app store fees, Tesla, Apple executives... all mentioned in the same post? This might melt the webs!
Well…
Heck, he doesn’t even need to do the OS, just use Android without Play and you can do anything you want and leave Apple users to their preferred, managed platform.
… that’s literally been the answer all along, for everyone who complains about Apple. Why be such a baby about how Apple’s business interests don’t align with one’s own… ?

Musk is so toxic. This is straight up blackmail. Really puts me off from his products more and more everyday.
here we go again with the self important Musk thinking he is all that. I would never buy anything from a company that he is involved in. I am happy Apple did not get in bed with him, keep the poison out. #ElonMuskLooser #ElonMuskTrader #boycottelonmusk
And what do you think Apple does with its own manufacturers? Apple is and always has been the bully here. They just play nice in the eyes of the public but on the business side its ruthless monopoly.
Yeah stay away. Musk is the crazy ex or druggie acquaintance you hide from.
And we all know high school is an extremely valuable experience, with teenagers making prudent decisions…
Why stop at middle school?
Tesla Cyber phone: for incels, by incels 😂
Don’t forget about his active promotion of the most vile, contemptible, gutter trash on his platform and courtship of avowed Nazis and white supremacists.
HAHAHAHAHA 😂 imagine trying to extort Apple for even $0.01, let alone $5 billion. And over a feature that provides marginal utility, at best. Tim Cook would kill his own mother to save Apple $5 billion.
I've seen enough of Musk's behavior over the past decade to know I'll never give my business with any company he runs.
Whether you're correct about the bias or not, it's still an ad hominem fallacy.
The day Apple partners with Musk is the day I ditch iPhones.
If I had the right use cases, such as hiking, boating, or regularly driving in a complete dead zone like northern Vermont, I could see paying $5 a month for it. Seems like pretty decent insurance for an emergency.
For me, he lost his lustre back in 2018 when he called a diver who had rescued Thai boys stranded in a cave "pedo". The reason? He had called Musk's effort a PR stunt.
The silver lining of it all is that with X and all of his DOGE stuff, Musk has shown who he really is, which is why Tesla is tanking around the world (and hopefully all of his other endeavors fail as well). Apple pays a lot of attention to public opinion, and it would be detrimental for them to be associated with such a twisted, childish, hateful person.
