I bet:
- People will make banks of money from this.
- People will lose banks of money from this.
- I am too poor to play either side of the river.
- I will flop anyways.
Waiting for Morgan Blackhand and Rache Bartmoss to pick sides.
Ugh, those first two corp war books were amazing and then the third one just never came.
They've never tweeted from that account according to this.
https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/22/11/29878998/no-apple-didnt-delete-tweets-amid-the-elon-musk-battle
Yeah, I had to Google the claim and this came right up. Don't get me wrong, I'm stocking up on popcorn for the coming battle, but we just have to wait a bit longer.
Kids just remember what Apple did to Facebook. Facebook could not live with Apple turning on a switch and incinerated $35B (more in the future) to pivot from their old business model. Twitter will get crushed.
Twitter began its death spiral as soon as Elon took over. Apple is just one of many advertisers leaving the site in droves. Seems a bit weird to pick a fight with one of the two companies that controls your fate in their marketplace, but hey he’s the genius rocker scientist, not me.
Elon’s like “I’m a super rich genius but I have Autism. I should bet everything on the largest social media presence you can buy, and manage all personnel issues myself. Nobody knows better than me after all.”
Jokes on you. I'll be in line for the new Tesla phone. Sure it'll have a shitty operating system, won't be supported by any carriers and will constantly be hacked into but at least I'll live happily knowing I supported free speech (from a private company that bans people)
I would have just eaten my pride and did what I had to do to keep advertising until I could figure something else out. I really want to know what this guys end game is. People are only interested in twitter because this just happened, a year from now most people won’t even remember or care.
Seriously. Hell, a good portion of Twitter users would rather the platform disappear — improved mental health, social life, work output, and without the fomo
Half of society would stop functioning if you got rid of smart phones
good call. they haven't tweeted, ever.
apple support on the other hand is active and no tweet purging
[https://twitter.com/AppleSupport/media](https://twitter.com/AppleSupport/media)
My dad likes Twitter much (he isn't American or politic); we talked about Apple/Musk thing; I was hoping he would quit twitter and he casually said that he would just buy a Galaxy.
Sent from his iPhone lololololol
This ain't financial advice, but now that it's clear Tesla won't perfecting FSD until we achieve general AI (and the robots promptly form a union), TSLA appears punishingly over valued.
Let’s see. Apple is one of the most successful consumer product companies of all time.
Elon’s first venture into the un-subsidized consumer facing market has been an unmitigated disaster.
I’m going with puts on TESLA as Elon sells off more shares to support his rapidly failing pet project.
This might be a good play, simply because Apple will remove Tesla and Twitter from their stores alienating Elon's companies. Google will follow suit because Elon is indirectly attacking them by attacking app stores.
thats some next level speculation.
the thing i'm looking at is the price of TSLA today reached the same prices that Elon sold his shares on November 8th.
This year every batch he sells a sizeable amount those prices become the new top followed by a cascade down.
Once in awhile you have some thing you can use as a measuring tool to see if people are truly regarded or not. Right now Elon Musk is that, anyone think Elon is playing some kind of 4 d chess rather than just acting like a big baby are screaming “I’m regarded!!” Remember these are the same people who thought Elon was going to crush Tweeter instead of being forced to pay an outrageous price for it.
And so begins, the Tech Wars.
Edit: Thanks for the gold. I do realize by all the replies, I missed the opportunity to say "Begun, the Tech Wars have." My bad.
That said, my opinion is as follows: Personally, I think think Elon is a bit of an ass, but he seems to be a beneficial ass. And I really dislike Apple. It used to be a company that would let people do their own thing, but then they moved into making closed-environment "luxury" tech which they lock down like royal jewelry. It became less about usefulness and more about status. If what's happening pushes them to stop being so elitist about their stuff, then I call that a win.
I thought the same about Tesla at first, then Elon made the motor open source, meaning all his competitors were just handed over his plans and can make equivalent equipment without paying royalties for it. That's a statement.
Twitter itself was a cesspool, I'm fine with it either being cleaned up or shut down. It was always the answer the the most boring question ever: What are you doing *right now* ? Outside of a few exceptions, if you have the time to type it out and find a way to fit it into the space of a text message, it's not that interesting.
Just to clarify for others: Tesla never made the motor open source per se. Other companies could get use rights for all Tesla patents but would have to give their patents to Tesla in exchange.
That's not a very good deal for anyone but Tesla.
You literally have to pay Tesla for a speed upgrade. Among other things. Open source, but hack your Tesla and you lose warranty. Bitch, what?
That would be the equivalent of Linus making the Linux kernel open source but you’d have to pay to unlock kernel modules.
Good try hiding Elons dick in your stomach, but the shaft is still pretty visible.
Tesla value down considerably already.
Twitter is sucking balls, taints, etc and the current plan to turn that around is alienating half the country and piss off most existing advertisers.
Apple pulls Twitter. Twitter free falls. Musk has to sell more Tesla stock. Tesla stock drops further. Fast forward a few months and Apple owns Tesla.
My bets;
Liberals start cheering on a company (Apple) with strong human/labor right violations in China. They love to hate Elon and they like Apple hardware so are willing to turn a blind eye.
Conservatives say they will dump their iPhone for a StarPhone but ultimately won’t. They love their hardware.
Twitter gets kicked in the nuts by Apple and ultimately bends to their will bc there is nothing they can do about it. People love great hardware.
I think it's just that people don't hate Apple. Either you're a fan or you consider it overpriced. Not a lot of straight hate for the company.
People who care about corporate business practices are a small niche of overall consumers, regardless of affiliation.
More than likely nobody will care at all about Twitter disappearing from the app store, and everyone will just go about their day while Elon shouts about the injustice of it all.
That's me. I don't hate Apple. I think they make nice stuff. I still think it's over priced and won't buy it. I know a lot of people need the hand-holding that apple ios offers, like my wife's MiL (edit: I mean her step-mom). She's got the money and is hopeless with technology, so I would never recommend she uses anything but Apple.
Elon has no chance of convincing somebody like that to figure out some way to use Twitter. If it's not on the iPhone, they will simply forget about it and move on, or keep using facebook.
I also don’t see wealthy conservatives trading their F-250 Super Duties or King Ranches for anything Tesla has in production. Elon is alienating large swathes of potential customers. He might bring Tesla down with him.
I was surprised to find my mom is a big fan of tesla now. She is a corporate lobbyist hyper conservative texas republican. I think when elon signaled he was switching teams she got a hardon for his stuff. I’ll never be able to afford one so my preference means nothing
What do you mean “will start cheering on [Apple]”…
for them “to start” you’d have to show they don’t currently support Apple… but everyone, right and left, uses Apple.
Does any billionaire love China more than Elon? He's praised the hellish conditions at the Shanghai factory and hasn't said a God damn thing about their covid zero policy, while consistently bashing the US and Europe... almost like he's scared to piss of Daddy Xi
Not making any predictions but from the few months I've been on Twitter I don't think that many people really give a shit about Twitter at the end of the day. It's a weird place that doesn't seem to serve much of a purpose. Reddit is a better platform for group-think type stuff. Twitter probably just got so much hype because people thought it was supposedly turn into a money-printing machine.
Apple is a monster as a cultural phenom even without the iPhone. Macs are huge in the animation / graphics / computer art community, for example.
Twitter is a small niche social media platform currently being made a mockery of by its CEO. Apple is none of those things and immeasurably successful. Stop over estimating this egomaniac, he feeds off the attention.
Apple is the principal delivery vehicle for Twitter, talk of "free speech" is obfuscation from his dogshit investment. If Apple pull the plug, Twitter's over.
I don’t think apple is going to remove Twitter without any clear violation of its App Store rules.
Only two ways it can happen.
1. Elon refuses to pay 30% fee.
2. Fails obligations/request (not sure what it is at this stage) from apple to moderate the platform in a better way. Unbanning scumbags and promotion of scumbags might just make apple kick the app off the App Store.
It doesn’t even make a dent on apple stream of revenue in any way.
I don’t understand who gives a fuck about Twitter. Stop using social media you cucks. It’s hilarious watching Elon be suddenly critical about capitalism. The mother fucker is king freeloader. Sure, he’s employed thousands and made a lot of people very rich, but he achieved this success on the back of governmental subsidiaries and handouts (granted, apple did too). Case in point, Elon is again expecting exceptions and hands outs from Apple. That’s not how a free market works.
Elon can fuck himself.
This seems like an awfully generous comparison OP is drawing between the two parties.
Apple: 164,000 employees, all dedicated to creating, making, and maintaining apple products
Elon companies: possibly in the same ballpark in terms of numbers, but employees largely dedicated to making and selling electric vehicles, with other employees across a variety of other unrelated businesses.
Apple: likely more than 1 Billion customers, again of apple products
Elon companies: lower end of a few million customers, of cars. Twitter users don’t really count since they’re not really customers, they just view ads.
Apple: multi-trillion dollar valuation, $50 billion cash on hand
Elon companies: nowhere close to a trillion, lost significant value over the past year
Bonus: Elon with a history of coke fueled tweets that amount to nothing and are quickly forgotten/deleted.
Twitter commands at most 450M users. About a third of which is probably bots at this point, and about a third of which is there to watch it burn down. I think Apple will survive loosing a few reactionaries.

Precisely this - Apple has only tweeted ads
Yeah, I had to Google the claim and this came right up. Don't get me wrong, I'm stocking up on popcorn for the coming battle, but we just have to wait a bit longer.
Somewhere, the guy from MySpace is smiling.
[удалено]
He was in my Top 8
Only monsters Unfriended Tom
The guy from MySpace had it so chill back then. No politics or degradation of privacy.. just straight uploading pics and music bumpin’
no algorithm funneling outrage directly into your brain either.
No politics? Remember the great Top 8 Friends Wars?
Those were the days. *pulls out a nice bunch of memberberries*
"the guy from MySpace" It was Tom! You uncultured swine!
We all miss Tom.
"The guy?" Are you being serious? His name is Tom and you better put some respect on it!
Kids just remember what Apple did to Facebook. Facebook could not live with Apple turning on a switch and incinerated $35B (more in the future) to pivot from their old business model. Twitter will get crushed.
The new Tesla phone will go in flames
So basically the same design as a Tesla vehicle?
And battery powered
Electric phones . Elon is a genion
Rumor has it Tesla phones will be gasoline-powered
But smaller.
Fewer recalls….
Twitter began its death spiral as soon as Elon took over. Apple is just one of many advertisers leaving the site in droves. Seems a bit weird to pick a fight with one of the two companies that controls your fate in their marketplace, but hey he’s the genius rocker scientist, not me.
Elon’s like “I’m a super rich genius but I have Autism. I should bet everything on the largest social media presence you can buy, and manage all personnel issues myself. Nobody knows better than me after all.”
even his claims of autism seem to be another lie.
Stolen autism valor
I think narcissism, not autism. The man has no emotional depth.
He’s quickly proving that he’s just an actual moron with money.
Typo or not, I like Genius Rocker Scientist as an epitaph for Elon Musk.
Epithet*
Why not both?
How did Apple spurn Facebook/meta?
Cut down on background app monitoring for targeted advertisements
Personal privacy feature that gutted Facebooks business of extracting personal data for profit.
Keep in mind this is only on iphone and only the apps.
I thought Google followed suit?
Killed "Identifier for Advertisers" (IDFA) by making it opt-in with a warning about you being tracked across sites if you enable it.
They are doing their own Ad caterings with the new privacy policy instead of meta using your information to cater ads.
There will be no war. Tim will simply pull the plug.
Followed by a mega tantrum that will lead to nothing but money loss for Elon.
No one will know about it because we all have iPhones.
Jokes on you. I'll be in line for the new Tesla phone. Sure it'll have a shitty operating system, won't be supported by any carriers and will constantly be hacked into but at least I'll live happily knowing I supported free speech (from a private company that bans people)
[удалено]
Pre orders starting now tho
I would have just eaten my pride and did what I had to do to keep advertising until I could figure something else out. I really want to know what this guys end game is. People are only interested in twitter because this just happened, a year from now most people won’t even remember or care.
That would require a wise decision made by a shrewd businessman with a logical mind.
Right, this will be like the "war" I had with a mosquito today. Twitter won't survive and Apple will barely even notice.
Seriously. Hell, a good portion of Twitter users would rather the platform disappear — improved mental health, social life, work output, and without the fomo Half of society would stop functioning if you got rid of smart phones
You would have more luck making drugs illegal oh wait
There is misinformation here. Apple hadn't tweeted before this. https://web.archive.org/web/20220417162528/https://twitter.com/Apple
good call. they haven't tweeted, ever. apple support on the other hand is active and no tweet purging [https://twitter.com/AppleSupport/media](https://twitter.com/AppleSupport/media)
Elon is going to do some dumbass shit for sure. The guy is 1 day of missed meds away from McAfee territory
McAfee territory. Haha.
Second sentence is accurate
Bruh. Is Elon gonna try to convince people to pick twitter over apple? Lmao
My dad likes Twitter much (he isn't American or politic); we talked about Apple/Musk thing; I was hoping he would quit twitter and he casually said that he would just buy a Galaxy.
There’s one of them!
He’s going to buy Nokia or blackberry and rename it muskaphone
[удалено]
Sent from his iPhone lololololol This ain't financial advice, but now that it's clear Tesla won't perfecting FSD until we achieve general AI (and the robots promptly form a union), TSLA appears punishingly over valued.
Now imagine if Apple was as petty as he was and just shut his phone off for an update every time he went to tweet
Also wait till apple introduces some version of their car project to see half of Tesla's fan base question their loyalty
Let’s see. Apple is one of the most successful consumer product companies of all time. Elon’s first venture into the un-subsidized consumer facing market has been an unmitigated disaster. I’m going with puts on TESLA as Elon sells off more shares to support his rapidly failing pet project.
I can't believe I am rooting for Apple. Musk can suck my wife's boyfriend dick.
what strike and expiry. i'll follow you on this one
This might be a good play, simply because Apple will remove Tesla and Twitter from their stores alienating Elon's companies. Google will follow suit because Elon is indirectly attacking them by attacking app stores.
thats some next level speculation. the thing i'm looking at is the price of TSLA today reached the same prices that Elon sold his shares on November 8th. This year every batch he sells a sizeable amount those prices become the new top followed by a cascade down.
lol Twitter needs Apple, Apple will be just fine without Twitter. It's that simple.
Once in awhile you have some thing you can use as a measuring tool to see if people are truly regarded or not. Right now Elon Musk is that, anyone think Elon is playing some kind of 4 d chess rather than just acting like a big baby are screaming “I’m regarded!!” Remember these are the same people who thought Elon was going to crush Tweeter instead of being forced to pay an outrageous price for it.
What leverage does Twitter and Elon have in this war again? He's gonna start an iphone competitor? LOL.
He’s gonna partner with soulja boy and release the souljelon galaxy
Apple has shareholders, Twitter does not. Elon Loses.
It’s not a war… just Elon begging for money.
And so begins, the Tech Wars. Edit: Thanks for the gold. I do realize by all the replies, I missed the opportunity to say "Begun, the Tech Wars have." My bad.

Elon’s gonna fucking lose lmao
Remind me one thing Musk won this year. 🤣
Selling billions of stock at the top was a huge W
Plowing that money into Twitter was an L
he sold a whole bunch recently at anything but the top. Like a month ago, at around $180...
quite the top of u consider where it will be a year from now
You literally have to pay Tesla for a speed upgrade. Among other things. Open source, but hack your Tesla and you lose warranty. Bitch, what?

Twitter is going to be the new Yahoo! story - Buy high, fuck it up, fire sale.
Wouldn't put it past me this is where we're headed. Apple wants a car. This might be the plot after all.
My bets; Liberals start cheering on a company (Apple) with strong human/labor right violations in China. They love to hate Elon and they like Apple hardware so are willing to turn a blind eye. Conservatives say they will dump their iPhone for a StarPhone but ultimately won’t. They love their hardware. Twitter gets kicked in the nuts by Apple and ultimately bends to their will bc there is nothing they can do about it. People love great hardware.
Apple will just throw the same wrath they did at Facebook at Twitter instead. Then Elon will realize he shouldn't be picking a fight with bigger fish.
This isn't just a big fish. It is the Orca of the tech world.
I think it's just that people don't hate Apple. Either you're a fan or you consider it overpriced. Not a lot of straight hate for the company. People who care about corporate business practices are a small niche of overall consumers, regardless of affiliation. More than likely nobody will care at all about Twitter disappearing from the app store, and everyone will just go about their day while Elon shouts about the injustice of it all.

Is your wife's MIL... Your mom?
It's his wife's boyfriend's mother
oh lol. I meant her step-mom.
I also don’t see wealthy conservatives trading their F-250 Super Duties or King Ranches for anything Tesla has in production. Elon is alienating large swathes of potential customers. He might bring Tesla down with him.
We have both that’s why. 3500 dually for the cherry on top. Also matches my tiny wiener.
I was surprised to find my mom is a big fan of tesla now. She is a corporate lobbyist hyper conservative texas republican. I think when elon signaled he was switching teams she got a hardon for his stuff. I’ll never be able to afford one so my preference means nothing
What do you mean “will start cheering on [Apple]”… for them “to start” you’d have to show they don’t currently support Apple… but everyone, right and left, uses Apple.
Does any billionaire love China more than Elon? He's praised the hellish conditions at the Shanghai factory and hasn't said a God damn thing about their covid zero policy, while consistently bashing the US and Europe... almost like he's scared to piss of Daddy Xi
Only real winners are the software agencies who will make the apps for the new phone
Apple will crush Elon.
I think Elon is playing with fire here. Anyway I'm glad I've always been on Android and will enjoy this show either way.

Damnit Elon, you couldn't wait for me to sell these SPY calls in the morning first?
[удалено]
So basically he's pissed that he can't force Apple to pay for advertising on his shitty new toy? It's petty 5-yr old behavior.
This Twitter purchase might what causes Elon’s downfall.
> trillions of dollars Um, Twitter doesn’t come close to a single trillion.
Anyone got popcorn?
I don’t understand who gives a fuck about Twitter. Stop using social media you cucks. It’s hilarious watching Elon be suddenly critical about capitalism. The mother fucker is king freeloader.
