Elon Musk's "Go To War" Post Against Apple's Tight Control On App Store
NDTV
Though Musk says Twitter is seeing record high engagement with him at the helm, his approach has startled the company's major moneymaker -- advertisers.
Twitter owner Elon Musk on Monday opened fire against Apple over its tight control of what is allowed on the App Store, saying the iPhone maker has threatened to oust his recently acquired social media platform.Musk also joined the chorus crying foul over a 30 percent fee Apple collects on transactions via its App Store -- the sole gateway for applications to get onto its billion plus mobile devices. Apple has also threatened to withhold Twitter from its App Store, but won't tell us why Apple has mostly stopped advertising on Twitter. Do they hate free speech in America?
A series of tweets fired off by Musk included a meme of a car with his first name on it veering onto a highway off-ramp labeled "Go to War," instead of continuing onwards towards "Pay 30%."
The billionaire CEO also tweeted that Apple has "threatened to withhold Twitter from its App Store, but won't tell us why."
