Apple was Twitter's biggest advertiser in the first quarter of this year, spending $48m (£40m) on ads on the social network, which accounted for 4% of the company's revenue in that period, according to a report.
If the company was to block Twitter from its app store, new users would not be able to download the Twitter app on their iPhones and iPads, and existing users would be unable to access updates.
The commission fee could affect his attempts to increase subscription revenue at Twitter, in part to make up for the exodus of advertisers over content moderation concerns.Musk earlier this month said his company had seen a"massive" drop in revenue.
