After breathing fire, Musk calls it a misunderstanding.
in a tweet, asking if the company was against free speech in America and why it had stopped advertising on the platform after he took over.Apple is one of the many brands that have paused their advertising campaigns on the platform since Musk took over. As a self-proclaimed free-speech absolutist, Musk has been keen on bringing back many names that have been banned on the platform for violating usage policies.
Until Musk-led Twitter clarifies its stance on content moderation, Apple, like other brands, does not want to be seen alongside content such as hate speech. However, unlike other brands, Apple also has the power to ban Twitter from its App Store if it violates Apple's usage policies. Musk's outburst at Twitter was also against the commissions the iPhone maker charges developers for the sales generated through the App Store. It is likely that Musk has now spoken against these charges that have been applied for years since they will also be applicable toWith Apple wielding so much power over Twitter's future, Musk seemed ready to fight tooth and nail against the company and its policies.
Musk isn't the first person whose concerns with Apple have been quickly resolved. In 2018, then-U.S. President Donald Trump criticized Apple for making its products overseas. Cook then traveled to Washington and joined a White House advisory panel earning much praise from Trump very soon.
