Elon Musk on Monday claimed that Apple has 'threatened' to pull Twitter from its iOS app store, a move that could be devastating to the company Musk just acquired for $44 billion.
that when the car company was struggling, he considered selling the company to Apple, but that Cook refused to take a meeting with him.
Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Musk's tweets. The company has previously shown it's willing to remove apps from its app store over concerns about their ability to moderate harmful content or if they attempt to circumvent the cut Apple takes from in-app purchases and subscriptions.
In its official app store review guidelines, Apple lists various safety parameters that apps must adhere to in order to be included in the store, including an ability to prevent"content that is offensive, insensitive, upsetting, intended to disgust, in exceptionally poor taste, or just plain creepy" such as hate speech, pornography and terrorism."If you're looking to shock and offend people, the App Store isn't the right place for your app," the guidelines state.
Musk, long a prolific and antagonistic tweeter, has not let up at all since taking over the company. And what it may have lost in revenue, he has claimed it has made up for in engagement. Part of the strategy appears to be relentlessly taking aim at enemies, either of him personally or of"free speech."
