Apple deleted all their tweets and is basically going to war with Elon. In order for Elon to keep Twitter a float he needs to keep selling TSLA stock in order to keep the lights on and feed going for all the users. If he decides to build his own setup who knows how good or how bad that will be. Huge risk. War is also very expensive, TSLA stock will be the biggest casualty.

>I think Elon is making a big mistake by going to war with Apple. The risk involved in creating his own platform and the cost of fighting this battle will be very costly for Tesla stockholders, who are already taking on huge risks investing into TSLA. It would be better if he found an amicable solution rather than engaging in a public feud that could hurt everyone's bottom line.

I completely agree. Though days like today throw me for a loop..the market was red EXCEPT Tesla the decide to be green. I wonder if I missed some news or maybe it's shorts closing for prophet and getting a good position before the big fall 🤔

Apple prefers government censorship just like china! Leftist shitbags have a hard time with truth.

Can Elon turn the lights off at Twitter before December 31 and then claim the $44B (or whatever his share is) loss on taxes?

Do you actually have positions on TSLA though, or are you just talking shit?

Well it will take a visionary executioner like Musk to do it. A good housecleaning was in order. Time will tell.

People and families lost alot of livelihood from the former twitter that decided to play Johnny Law on free speech. It genuinely hurt people to do that.

I hope everyone involved in that is fired. They were messing with people's livelihood because of disagreements in values. You cant claim to be a public domain and then silence only certain views. Time to reap what you sow.

The other side apparently has a voice too, and now it's being heard.

Main thing is he took away one of the lefts crown jewels, and they're pissy about it. On a bigger note, it needed a major overhaul - and fumigation - to get it ready for next-gen ops...

hahaha wut?

Twitter has a history of boosting right-wing voices

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/oct/22/twitter-admits-bias-in-algorithm-for-rightwing-politicians-and-news-outlets

they do the barest fucking minimum of fact checking political and health misinformation years too late and the right-wingers lose their minds.

Reminder: you are on reddit, which banned that bullshit earlier /r/the_donald

I mean Apple has kinda been pissing everyone off with their fees though.. Didn't they piss off a bunch of game makers at one point, now Web3 shit and TSLA? Between them trying to fuck everyone in the ass with their mediocre hardware and the fact they keep losing market share I think Elon is the least of their worries

Then again regards will pay $4099 for the same stupid phone every year, so what do I know

Remind me, just how much Twitter has to pay in interest every year after this went down?

Yea people aren't gonna switch from iPhones, it's one of the hardest areas to break into (Amazon, Microsoft, Google is doing not so good). Unless legislation passes everyone has to bow down to Apple cause consumers won't stop buying

Dude I used to shit on apple till I just spent 1500 on one the other day on a 14 Max Pro blah blah blah because the person I wanted to gift a phone to wouldn't consider anything else. No one cares about Samsung phones except me apparently.

You just pulled these numbers out of your ass lol.

Apple’s revenue is $394B USD and by your math their revenue is well over $1T USD.

Tesla earns roughly $10k per vehicle and produces 4,000 cars per day.

Yeah, Apple is likely not concerned about any of these shenanigans in the slightest. Their job is continue executing their business plan.

Anyone thinking Apple is going to start beefing with Musk is an idiot.

On top of that, they make good, long lasting phones with ample OS support. I’m 5 years now on this phone, and my partner’s phone is 6 years old. And I use my iphone A LOT.

She wants to replace it with a newer one, but doesn’t want to wait 3 months for it to arrive, so she just said, naaaah, I’ll wait until next year. Hopefully by then they’ll have a USB-C port, but I’m not holding my breath.

Finally, since the phones are still decent, they’re actually worth quite a bit. I got the battery replaced for very little.

Apple does some dumb shit, but they also get a lot of things bang on.

So I gather that because the MSM is bashing Musk out of fear of being revealed as agents of the deep state, this AAPL enthusiast crowd thinks they know better than Elon yet are piss broke and work at Wendy's. I can't wait to get the MuskPhone and shitcan this Android.

In a rare turn of events I agree with this post. Elon is going to fixate on Twitter to save face and the hype on Tesla will fade.

Michael Burry responded to my craigslist ad looking for someone to mow my lawn. "$30 is $30", he said as he continued to mow what was clearly the wrong yard. My neighbor and I shouted at him but he was already wearing muffs. Focused dude. He attached a phone mount onto the handle of his push mower. I was able to sneak a peek and he was browsing Zillow listings in central Wyoming. He wouldn't stop cackling.

That is to say, Burry has his fingers in a lot of pies. He makes sure his name is in all the conversations.

TSLA was already going to drop in the next 6-12 months, this pretty much solidifies it.

No one really cares about Twitter except for the people who were already on Twitter. Plenty of other social media platforms available.

I say put it all on MySpace and let’s get Tom back in there to run things.

Anti establishment warriors like Elon only come around every so often. And thankfully, they smash the cages that all of us regards were unwittingly sitting in, thinking we were fit by running on our hamster wheels (idiots on their pelotons for 30 min), thinking we were happy sipping water out of a weird tube regulated by a silver ball, eating the same grains day in day out. Time to wake up, All.

I hated the color 2000’s era macs. Didn’t like their one mouse click. Didn’t like Apple. Wanted an MP3 player and iPod was starting to really take off. Considered Zune but figured it’s easier to ask how to use a device if you get the popular one. Fast forward 8 years and I got an iPhone because it was popular and I didn’t have any desire to mod or do fancy computer stuff on my phone like Android. Add in the ice cream, jellybean, etc and it was getting confusing. Apple has features released that other phones have had for years already but folks don’t care. My friends like the Google phone and a few others the Samsungs. The rest are just apple people due to being basic I guess. Not having expandable memory has and still frustrates me but I’m already planning to upgrade at 3 years to the next iPhone no matter what the features. It’s a bit of a cult but no different than Ford/Chevy/Dodge trucks. Didn’t even look at the competition and went from a Pontiac to F150 because of the popularity and I always wanted a Ford. Hope that’s insight but Samsung makes a fine phone, just not big appliances.

Apple isn’t going to start a stupid culture war beef but it absolutely will enforce App Store policies, including the ones that help prevent it from being embroiled in hundred million dollar lawsuits for violating EU law

Which Elon-Twitter has already started doing

Elon’s most like trying to manufacture a dumb narrative for his fanboys when what’s happening is he’s violating/likely to violate several country’s laws as well as partner policies

I should clarify that I've been laid off too, and I dont genuinely wish people lose their jobs, maybe only if they indirectly caused the same hardship on families. I didnt mean to sound so cold in that statement.

I stand by the rest of what I said.

Dont go censoring me and banning me for it now lmaooo

Tom’s been on an endless summer surf and photography tour since he took a few million off Newscorp and spent a few months seeing what that world was like. He hasn’t even posted any of his photos since like the middle of the Trump admin. I’d say it’s safe to assume Tom Anderson gave up on America a while ago and isn’t coming back. A true genius.

Ok fascist dupe. Hopefully one day the fascist propagandists musk is enabling will give you your freedom back! You just have to keep working for them like a good little servant and forget about how they will be enslaving your grandchildren one day because you were too gullible to understand the difference between freedom and liberty
