All of the good work Elon does at his various companies would be markedly improved if he'd get off twitter and largely be quiet and focus.

Elon Musk Says Apple's 30% App Store Fee is 'Literally 10 Times Higher Than It Should Be'

Regardless of if you hate or love Musk. Steam and Apple have both been robbing developers/studios of a 30% cut since the storefronts opened. It makes it harder for small studios to turn a profit, and forces big studios to crunch folks rather than hiring more developers. Epic, I believe, has a lower fee. But, still probably not great.
That’s what narcissists do. He’s best just ignored.
And his stupid Tesla shouldn't cost $12,000 for some self-driving thing that doesn't even exist.
Yet here we are.
Yet here we are.
Anyone else just tired of Elon at this point? And I say this as a Tesla owner. He needs to focus on his own businesses. Tesla service centers / support could use miles of improvement.
I h
I have a friend with a Tesla and he likes everything about it except for the quality of the body.Tesla charges a HUGE premium for a car that has worse paint than any Honda and worse build quality than a Geo Metro. Seriously, the panel gaps are horrendous and the paint generally comes from the factory orange-peeled. There are frequently missing and mis-fit trim pieces.
Yes their customers are dumb enough to accept that and defend it.
I'm sure he'll cut the premium markup on all Tesla products.
Extremely tired of him and totally agree with you on his need to focus on the businesses.
I think his narcissism and "pleasure" out of saying whatever and getting reactions is actually closer to the root of why he wants to buy Twitter than any other explanation.
He really loves the playpen of sycophants who gush over his every utterance.
Which means Musk had no idea what he's talking about. Trolls will be trolls and soon Elon will the king of trolls with ownership of twitter.
I was thinking the same exact thing ? sooner or later or he'll anger everyone, and his grifts will have no customers.
He is just stating his own opinion on social media. It’s not his fault, everyone loves to write articles such as this one about everything he says.
PS no I don’t like him either for different reasons
Yet his car company, Tesla, raises prices for all cars despite record profit.
Out of the blue strong opinions on controversial topics and straight up memes are kind of Elon's thing on Twitter. Best not to take it all too seriously.
Apple already charges an annual developer fee. I don't see why the transaction fees are so high.
Everyone knows that Apple is abusing a duopoly position in the marketplace. You also know that Tesla comparison is ridiculous.
Being a monopoly is NOT a religion. Nobody needs you to believe that Apple has a monopoly.
If Twitter is the half baked thoughts of a million vacant minds, what does that make a fully baked Musk?
You're basically saying that Apple needs developers as much as developers need Apple.
So in that case... it should be 50/50...
Thankfully it's not. The developer has always made more than Apple. 70% vs 30%
And most developers are in the "under a million" club so they actually get to keep 85% with Apple only getting 15%
Could the commission fees be lower still? Sure! But I'm not making those decisions.
I just wish there could be some sort of solution that will make everyone happy. Frankly I'm sick of hearing about this. ?
That's exactly what I predict, too.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
