Elon Musk Wants Apple to Lower Fees for 'X' Creators

It’s a fallacious argument. If you want to put your endorsement on it, great. But it doesn’t help your position.
Considering the platform is objectively still online, your question is basically "how can I make money on a platform I don't want to be on"
What kind of possible answers were you expecting? "Elon will send a check to youtubers who deleted their X account?" Really?
Why would you ever worship a billionaire this much? You seem to have a habit of doing so. You do realize they'll never thank you, right? Will you lay on your death bed proud of how much you defended people who couldn't care less about you? Or will you be filled with regret for wasting all that time?
Snap out of it man. Your time is so valuable. Don't waste it on them.

Musk is not a very bright man in many respects.. that said,
...got to pay the toll troll. The troll must get the toll! "
Shout out to all the companies that you can just download a DMG from their website. Apple store isn't the worst thing in the world but those fees can KMA

Taking 60,000 of 200,000 is absolutely dinosaur level bongos
But .. its apple. Ah well
Barely counts. The vast majority of his wealth is on the backs of government welfare.
Not with anyone, the fees are ridiculous, but if Elon wants special treatment I seriously doubt he's going to get it.
Well it counts.
Would love to get into details on the other companies, but that gets into politics which MacRumors warned me to not discuss this on non-political threads. So yeah, have a good one 👍
This is the current state of affairs for Elon.
It will likely happen. If Musk doesn’t like it, he can make his own phone and platform. Problem solved.
If developer don’t like Apple’s or Google’s platform, make your own, and your own phone as well. Problem solved.
This thread is entertaining and exhausting…
I just want social media to fade away. It causes more harm while isolating each other. 1’s and 0’s will never and should never replace genuine human interaction, it’s the only way we’ll advance as a society. Otherwise, it’s divisive rhetoric and propaganda that’s easily weaponized to create discord and destruction.
Tripsync - I don’t know who you are but clearly you have a problem with people who disagree with you. Notice I said not one thing about Musk who you’ve been arduously defending yet you disagreed with me regarding social media IN GENERAL being destructive. That says a lot.

Musk sure seems to have a lot of things he doesn’t want. He doesn’t want to pay rent on X’s office buildings, he doesn’t want to pay X employees the promised severance package, he doesn’t want any of his employees working less than 80 hours a week, he doesn’t want Apple to collect fees from X creators…
I would say that it’s more like BrandX sets up a table at Walmart and operates within Walmart for over a decade.
Then one day BrandX CEO decides that he’s the one that made Walmart successful, not the other way around, so now Walmart should allow him to sign up customers for free or at a low cost because it will help Walmart.
You have no idea how many people think like this.
My favorite delusion when I worked for a major brand was when we would do a deal with a small startup and they would use our name to acquire a bunch of customers and then they’d turn around at the next contract renegotiation and demand more money because of how big they are now. LOL.
“X Creators” sounds like some OnlyFans ripoff.
Exactly! Free market! If the FBI doesn't like the security of the iPhone, they can sell their own FBIphone.
He started as an apartheid era South African trust fund baby from a family of white emerald mine owners with mines filled with Black miners digging them riches.
Straw man rendering this comment irrelevant. Please stick to what I actually said.

It’s literally a fallacy. It’s impossible to disagree with that. It’s like saying “32 degrees is the freezing point of water? Uh, agree to disagree.”
The FBI is a government agency, so no. Not a good analogy.
