Could it be that Elon Musk's beef with Apple was all in his mind?
Posted Wednesday on Elon Musk's Twitter feed:
Good conversation. Among other things, we resolved the misunderstanding about Twitter potentially being removed from the App Store. Tim was clear that Apple never considered doing so.

My take: There should be egg on some very public faces this morning, but the evidence suggests that most of these guys have no shame.

“Old news. Let’s move on.”
You don’t win with them, so don’t try to compete. No need to debate because all rationality is out the window. They are junkyard dogs who revel in fighting and pulling the offender down with them into the sewage pit. They already are covered with crap, so the offending substance bothers them the least, but they do crave to smear it all on you knowing that you can’t take it.
They care less about the outward public appearance of fighting in the septic tank with you because that is their home where they dwell and wallow. Their personal and public integrity long sense departed and now they just need to extricate yours’ from you.
They’re grapplers who cling ever so tightly each time they hear you yelp. Once they see you squealing like a pig, then they are the king of junkyard dogs. For some reason of which I never understood, America loves junkyard dogs.
My advice for what it is worth, the best method for handling a DJT or Elon Musk is to stay above the fray and ignore the crap being thrown at you. If you must engage, then send forth a subordinate of the lowest level to throw crap back at the junkyard dog. That’s been my experience, and it has worked successfully.
By telling Elon M what he wanted to hear? That is one way to deal with the junkyard dogs. They need to feel that they intimidated you and all others into getting what they wanted. Aside from telling junkyard dogs what they desire to hear, also compliment them, praise them, flatter them. They need that sort of recognition desperately, too. Do that and you have them in the palm of your hands. 🙂
I would take anything that Musk says or anything else that comes out about Twitter with a grain of salt right now. Let us see any real evidence before judgement is passed. But if I had to guess, it will go the way of the evidence from My Pillow Guy
and Elon Musk is a jerk.
– Twitter – Apple minority investment, agreement on content monitoring, advertising $ commitment
– Tesla – CarPlay
– Startlink Broadband – deep tech assessment of what it would take to bring service to iPhones
Probably not, but this is what I’d hope for between the two. Either now or over time
CarPlay in Tesla: Unlikely (but rumor that Apple Music coming!)
Starlink: Longshot since Apple invested a lot into Global
– GEORGE BERNARD SHAW
Apparently, Tim Cook has read Shaw.
