Elon Musk Meets With Apple CEO Tim Cook Amid Claims of Twitter App Store Dispute [Updated]

That is just fantasy delusion. You'd have to be rabidly political to be talking like that.

Musk actually did go to Tim. Musk did humbly/publicly clear up the misunderstanding and Tim still hasn't said a word. What I find interesting though was you attacking my character but never addressed any of the facts I stated? I guess when folks lack data to support their opinion, they resort to name calling. Childish.

Lol. You wish.

Go read the last week of Elon Bashing Apple up and down Twitter. Then... all of the sudden, its a miss understanding and Apple has never even considered removing Twitter from the App Store.


Never ever ever underestimate Apples Greed and it's Pride.

Sounds like you are invested in Elon and you don't like seeing him humbled. Don't worry. Give him a week and he'll be firing randoms and running even more lives. Maybe that will lift your spirits.

You really are rabidly political if you're talking about there being "data" to support your opinion. Your interpretation is purely speculation.

I never asserted anything that happened. My opinion is only that you have no idea what took place. And you don't.

What i find hilarious is how many people here were calling Elon far right and a fascist the last couple days. And now he is at Apple HQ on a personal tour with Tim.

Kinda proves he isn’t that, doesn’t it? Tim obviously knows he isn’t.

That is what the left wing is for you. They spread constant misinformation and not a single censorship for it.

Those people in MacRumors who want Twitter getting removed from App Store because of Elon Musk are ridiculous for foreigners. Unbelievably double standards.

Funny, to appeal to the sentiment of foreigners from someone, who regards the US as the default country which doesn't even need to be specified.

It’s believed, regardless of the truth, because of Apple’s prior behavior. Remember, they did ban Parler.

Why did they remove Parler?

Apple
“We have always supported diverse points of view being represented on the App Store, but there is no place on our platform for threats of violence and illegal activity. Parler has not taken adequate measures to address the proliferation of these threats to people’s safety. We have suspended Parler from the App Store until they resolve these issues,”

Google also removed them.

Notwithstanding, Twitter hasn't changed its moderation policy. Apple had no reason to ban them, and they haven’t threatened to and they haven’t done it, so the facts speak for themselves.

remember facts?

If people want to believe Apple threatened to, because of something a person known to lie, intimidate and threaten (Musk), then good luck to them. It just shows how gullible they are, and frankly I feel sorry for them.

Because the truth doesn't matter. It's just power, and any argument that works is a valuable weapon to obtain power.

Talk about distortion field. What reality do you live in? The left wants power and spreads misinformation? Have you looked at the right for example? Victimhood, lies, divisiveness, and fear mongering. Sadly, you seem to live deep in those echo chambers ready to insult anyone that has an opinion that differs from yours. Pray for our planet!

This is my point, you are so political that you're having a conversation with someone who isn't remotely me.

Indeed. Chinese protestors think different, Apple shuts down Airdrop so that the Chinese government can more easily hammer these Chinese protestors down.

It shows what Apple stands for.

To be fair Elon would do the same if China said jump.

In all seriousness, I hope to God you are right. But the way Elon Musk has been acting lately, it's scary. Maybe today he was on his best behavior at Apple Park.

“Update: Musk says that he and Cook resolved a misunderstanding about Twitter potentially being removed from the ‌App Store‌, which Cook said Apple had not considered.”

See, I was kinda right! Btw, kudos for spotting Tim’s shadow in the vid :D. I’m a great admirer of both people. Tim is smart and it wouldn’t surprise me if Tim took the initiative and invited Elon to Apple Park to clear things up and Elon happily accepted. This is imo how grown ups should behave. Great story!

Yet 2 days ago, you had Musk acting like a petulant child, crying over why Apple has dropped their ads from Twitter. Yet he is a grown up and how a grown up should behave? That's laughable.

However, I'll bite.. A prominent figure in the conservative realm, which a lot of conservatives tend to worship, said something rather prophetic years ago:

Trust... but verify. - Ronald Reagan

With how contradictory Musk has been over the years, I'd be more inclined to believe that we have spy satellites over Monaco, Vatican City, Andorra, and Lichtenstein than what comes out of his mouth.

BL.

Because you want it to be nonsensical. You supply an "update" for something that happened, but let's call it out. Source your "update". Hence the "trust, but verify" quote I posted.

In short, cite where this update came from, or retract it. You've been around here long enough to know the rules of the forum.

Yet two days ago, you had Musk haters acting like petulant children, crying over every tweet, and generally - posting about him more than even Elon lovers do! That's laughable.
