He's literally asking Apple to issue a press release detailing how he has turned Twitter into a (bigger) cesspool of antisemitism, racism, bigotry, and hate. I am convinced he "runs" Tesla and SpaceX by issuing orders on a computer that his executive staffs have disconnected from the internet.

The Philosophy.

Not many CEOs would tweet this. It's kinda funny though, there have been plenty of companies against this Apple policy. But then it's Apple. This one could be the most interesting argument but others have failed.

I am interested to see if he retaliates by removing Apple Car Play from Teslas (if it is even there) and thinks that would matter to Apple at all. If he goes to war with Apple he will lose.

"Secret"? Absolute proof that this dude lives in a bubble. Apple's "tax" was well known and has been discussed for ages.

Did you guys hear the news? Valve takes a secret 30% cut on everything you buy through Steam!
It's even worse than that, governments have this hidden VAT tax that they apparently put everywhere.

Has this been posted yet? Am I late?

It has and has been rebutted. He was replying to a tweet talking about the geographic isolation (I think of Madagascar) for 88 million years.

Dude's fool enough without having to twist things.

Presumably his issue is that he wants to facilitate payments through twitter and apple will want their cut?

I expect he's going to be tweeting Tim Cook is a peado by the weekend
