I had a question, because of all the stuff recently going on between twitter and Apple, I was wondering if anyone thought Apple stock might plummet as a result of elons fight with them. I mean elon has caused this stuff to happen before is it possible to happen?

Elon needs apple. Apple doesn't need Elon

No one needs Elon, if Elon would just cease to exist, life would become objectively better for everyone, except Elon.

Apple needs Elon to STFU about their business model. And Elon knows it.

Their business model is well known, musk isnt saying anything new. Theres was a very public lawsuit by epic games about the same issues, and they lost.

That’s funny you think it’s over. Epic games and Apple were just in court again two weeks ago.

Imagine a fancy counter at the top of Twitter visualizing an approximation of Apple's 30% cut from everybody's in-app purchases from all the top apps

What business model? Tim Cook is basically a mess like Elon, he's just quiet about it

China will play a larger role in AAPL than Elon imo

Elon isn’t even a blip on the radar for apple. Remember, apple holds the keys to his apps success in their hands. Not the other way around. An iPhone still works without the Twitter app. Twitter, the company, has far less market share if people need to manually navigate to the web app instead of using the native app. Elon can fuck all the way off into the sun in one of his rockets.

It would be pretty awesome if Elon did a massive exposure on how apple uses slave labor and such.

Yeah, that’s not a secret. Nobody gives a shit. Not even gonna move the needle.

Remember when musk was talking about the Chinese factory workers and how they don’t just burn the midnight oil, but the 3 am oil?

Yeah musk definitely doesn’t take advantage of his workers. He also definitely isn’t holding his only employees left at Twitter hostage with their work visas.

This will dispel a lot of notions people have about Elon’s power

I don’t know if Twitter has much of an impact on Apple. People buying Apple products do it for other reasons, besides the fact that if someone absolutely wants to use Twitter, they can log in from a browser.

My thought process was a lot of elons supporters invest and elon has been known to make fluctuations in the market and his fans would all pull out of Apple stock

ThisIsMyReal-Name t1_iy6nwus wrote

Lol, a lot of Elon supporters invest huh.

Every single musk simp could boycott Apple forever and it wouldn’t move the needle on apples stock. Their share price barely dropped today because of riots in their production cities that might cause them to miss up to a third of their expected production.

Tim Apple doesn’t give a half of a fuck about musks fragile ego

Elon die hards are very similar to trump diehards: broke with zero financial sway. They may actually be the same person at this point tbh

China might kick Apple in the but. Would have more impact than elon.

If literally every major phone company comes out with what is supposed to be the iPhone killer every year and they are still the number one phone in the world, then the noise created by a single app is not going to amount to a hill of shit. No one gives a single fuck about the workers in china. If the iPhone required a drop of blood every time i opened it i still would not own a samsung galaxy s54 or whatever. They are the linux of phones

They are not the number 1 phone in the world. In America yes, not the world

Hawss2010 t1_iy72lsf wrote

Thats because they give those other phones away to third world countries that dont have water

Only cuz it's much more expensive compared to minimum wage in other countries

Apple has about 28% share of the market. Android accounts for about 72% of the market. iPhone isn't the contender it once was.

Twitter's profit is literally pocket change for apple. Like a speck of dust.

Twitter won’t make a dent on AAPL, however, TSLA will tank very soon if Elon “Karen” Musk doesn’t quickly put his shit together and stops ranting publicly. Apple doesn’t need Twitter but Twitter needs Apple, badly.

These seems to be the running theme for Elon. I'm not really a fan but I do like how he stirs the pot; Twitter needs AAPL and Google but just as equally AAPL and Google need Twitter because they don't exactly have a favorable market place to discuss.

iPhone shortage in China is what might cause Apple to sink, not so much elon.

Well atleast we know where Apple stands with free speech whether it’s on Twitter or in China.

longstreakof t1_iy7g5ph wrote

Nope, Apple will be up and down with the economy and will be affected by short term supply issues but they are as solid as they come. Super strong brand that makes quality gear. Not sure what I would describe Twitter as? It wouldn't be very complimentary.

Apple could definitely take a huge hit. It already is without Elon knocking it down. There's a lot of turmoil in China with all the child laboring. Elons mass exposure will cause it to collapse. I bought puts on Apple today. Apple to 135 by EOW

neothedreamer t1_iy6l0ep wrote

That is a little aggressive. People are still buying dips in Blue Chips so that will cause it to not drop very fast.

$135 by EOY is entirely possible.

>It's definitely possible that Apple stock could take a hit if Elon Musk is successful in his efforts to create more competition for the company. However, it would likely be short-term and not necessarily long-term. There are other factors at play here as well such as how much of an impact this issue will have on consumer sentiment towards Apple products or any potential antitrust lawsuits against them by governments around the world which may also influence their share price over time.

I’ve owned apple for almost 10 years and it’s my time to step off. I don’t want any smoke and I don’t want shady findings to come to light

Adventurous-Ad-7890 t1_iy6okok wrote

The issue here is that AAPL is a liberal shit hole of a company. DNC loves Big Tech and the censorship so they will protect AAPL regardless of the fact that Apple has a monopoly on the storefront for downloading apps to their phones.

It would be like Microsoft saying you can only download from the MS store...

Adults know your right and that it literally doesn’t matter. Dems will crush Elon for freeing twitter. Apple will write some 2024 campaign checks, and be totally fine.

Most everyone under 30 thinks they are gay and Elon is Dr Evil because rachael maddow said so, they will now downvote you to death as well. He has made them all victims, and for that he must be sacrificed. Never mind his risking his star-link satellites for Ukraine. Or making ev cars popular.

Puts on Tesla, i give it another month or two and antifa will be torching any tesla they find on the street.
