"I hate you and everything you stand for, and I'm going to fight you every step of the way" does not a good employee make.
He was in debt from student loans and is now a billionaire. Self made. End of story and you can try and play mental gymnastics all you want while being jealous of him.
It's just good reporting to cite more than one source, headline should at least say "purported" or state that "According to Elon". Here's how others are responsibly covering the headline, none state it as fact.
"hE waS in DeBt"
And other simp fictions like he invented electric cars and is going to colonize Mars and cares about free speech haha
I think he takes the sink with him everywhere he goes.Agreed! 100% maybe Elon Musk showed up anonymously, an uninvited guest. That's why he's being super thankful.
Front Desk called Tim Cook...Someone is here to meet you. Oh, who is it?
Front Desk to Elon: Sir, Do you have an appointment?
Front Desk is on the line with Mr. Cook, he replied: Who is it?
This guy from Twitter looks like a familiar face... Tim Cook replied... Oh, him... yeah, let him in I guess. *sigh*
Hopefully, he didn't show up with a sink.
People don't care about only one source when it is negative news about someone they dislike. Now all of the sudden they care.
im sorry if the truth hurts
Companies have a right to advertise wherever or stop doing so, most of the withdraws looked to be a bit more on the childish side though. Tim could use an ally with the heat the app store has been getting, Twitter needs Apple more but they could both stand to win if they can see eye-to-eye.I said that. See post below.
It seems like Elon Musk reached out to Tim Cook. He has been reaching out to all the execs who have stopped advertising on Twitter. Elon is losing money and the banks and investors are not happy. I'm sure Tim Cook was included in the memo.
Elon Musk Personally Reached Out To Twitter Advertisers To No Avail - SlashGear
After their mass exodus, Elon Musk personally contacted Twitter advertisers to "chastise" them for leaving. Unfortunately, the strategy backfired. Here's why.www.slashgear.com
If Musk believes Free Speech means anyone can express any lie they want and have other people act based on that lie, then Twitter will become an ever deepening cess pool. Allowing Trump, with his years of spouting misinformation, seals Twitter's demise.
Yeah I just looked for and found that 😃. I was just catching up on the messages as I scrolled through the pages and noticed the comment but not the author at the time.I said that. See post below.

You’re probably right. Elon may have just decided what he was doing wasn’t the best, and instead of flaming up with stupid tweets, he would be better being an adult. What he said about Apple is pretty irrelevant though. Apple doesn’t care. He just needs to slow down and fix Twitter.
And of course the former president is brought up, took more posts than usual this time though. Trump hasn't even tweeted and has shown no signs of returning so you can relax on that.
But he’ll get the support of some of the people here.
Source: trust me bro. You coming up with fantasies on Mastodon doesn't make something real.
Who exactly said "I hate you and everything you stand for, and I'm going to fight you every step of the way"?
“…should Twitter fail to adequately handle inappropriate content..”
And thats the problem. Apple decides what content is appropriate?
Ah yes, the standards are “misinformation” and “hate“.
But one political party has decided that anything they don’t agree with is “misinformation” (oh, hey there ‘there are no adverse reactions!!!’) and hate (ah, yes, if you think it’s problematic to allow small children, far too young to be trusted to do basically anything on their own, to decide they are a different sex and then put them on drugs or give them genital surgery, you are an evil ignorant bigot!!).
THATS THE PROBLEM.
Legitimate and important debate has been undermined in pursuit if left-wing interests. You are not allowed to question the latest leftist belief. So much of this is insane, and that’s why some people don’t want people to challenge them…huh…interesting!

Apple, the company that donates 97 percent of the time to the Dem party. Hmm, wonder if they could have some bias.
Did Elon take his son "X Æ A-12" to meet Tim? Hopefully the child grows-up to be good looking...
The fan fiction is getting more creative by the second. If this is what I could expect on Mastodon, I may need to sign up.
Again, there was already filth on Twitter before Musk came on the scene. It was just filth directed against the opponents of the Left. It was allowed and championed. And leftists were fine with that. And that’s kind of the whole problem.
Apple decides what content is appropriate for apps in the Apple store.
It's hardly difficult to work this out, by the way. Apple isn't trying to control your mind, Apple is trying to control its store.
Kinda weird to target a child and also bring up their appearance.
it's exactly the elon way. meanwhile, you have 40-something posts in this thread doing the exact same thing to elon lol
