I'm guessing that Elon's sudden anger and hostility to Apple which may seem to us to be coming from nowhere, is probably due to some recent directive from Apple we don't know about commanding Twitter to make some changes that Elon doesn't like. Given Elon's sudden free speech tirade against Apple, my guess is that Apple said "get rid of the nazis and the hate speech or else"

Given Elon's sudden free speech tirade against Apple, my guess is that Apple said "get rid of the nazis and the hate speech or else" If that was the issue, I think Elon would just post about that specifically. I’m inclined to take him at face value - he wants a big advertiser target that will rile up his right wing fan base, who are already prepped to hate tech companies/employees and “woke” Apple. Edit; well shows what I know.

Apple dramatically damaged Facebook's ad revenue by completely making its audience targeting useless, I'm sure Apple similarly has some leverage on Twitter even beyond just delisting it.

I mean, when one of the advertising platforms you use goes through massive changes it just makes sense to pause for a bit and see how things shake out? Likely a lot of the internal people at twitter that Apple folks dealt with aren't there anymore as well, making it tougher for them to get the info they want about whatever advertising people care about. Elon trying to make a perfectly rational business decision by Apple seem nefarious but it's reaaaally hard to see it working out well... Do I advertise on this place, where I'll be personally called out every time I scale back my ad budget, or just do business with one of my many other options who don't threaten me?

The "I bring paradise" --> "Time to weed out the unfaithful" --> "iT's A cOnSpIrAcY" arc is so textbook cult behavior that it's almost underwhelming to watch Elon go through it in real time.

This paints Elon's dramatic proclamations last week of "look at how much hate speech is declining (because we ignore it so we don't see it), we are doing good!" in a different light. Elon probably didn't give even half a poo poo about moderation until Apple threatened him.

They won't be? The rules of their store specifically say apps can't host the kind of content that Twitter has almost entirely turned into, which is why they are backchannel threatening him. He was supposed to bend over and make moderation changes, not start making unhinged tweets at the CEO while announcing the app is on the chopping block.

Tim Apple will not respond at all until it costs him 1 more dollar being silent than not silent, after which he will act immediately and with finality. Hope to see it

Nah, it’s clear Twitter is going to poo poo and that apple would probably view pulling the plug as a lesser risk then staying on while the site becomes 8chan.

Twitter agreed to Apple's terms in order to use the appstore so I'm not really sure what he's so mad about if his app is breaking those terms (and the absolutely breathtaking influx of racism, threats, and hate is definitely something Apple frowns on). They're pretty clear about what is and isn't allowed and give quite a few chances for the app maker to make adjustments to comply. If Elon doesn't want to do that then that's kind of on Elon, not Apple.
