Elon has enough money that he could literally do this in real life, every day, and then shag supermodels on a big pile of sweets like Spawny Get from Viz.

[big video removed because big]

Instead he's spending his time being a whiny baby on twitter.

lol

But loving off and doing cool poo poo doesn't get you social validation.

Like, Bezos just generally fucks off and does what he wants. He's an evil man, but he isn't out here trying to get affirmation from @TrumpThatBitch2024.

Musk's emotionally broken. Billions of dollars isn't enough; he has some hosed up need to be some kind of genius and modern folk hero.

Hey...what kind of party is this? there's no booze and only one hooker!

lol worst kept secret ever, it's literally in the TOS and very plainly stated on lots of parts of the site when you sign up. Also it goes for any monetized app, they've always taken 30%, and not just from developers that make over a million. If your app has no monetization then it doesn't cost anything except $100,- annually to sign up as a developer. What in the world is he doing?

Look, I'm sure the Twitter people who have built up a relationship with their Apple counterparts over the years will be able to talk with them, understand what steps need to be taken, and then Twitter's enormous staff of engineers who are standing at the ready for just such an occurrence will implement what they have to.

I'm sure apple's lawyers are writing some very spicy demands for damages right now based on Elons follower count + him artificially boosting his voice on twitter because he can force himself to appear in everyones feeds now and the damage to apples reputation that's ensued by elons libellous tweets.

To be honest, I expected something like this. I thought it'd be disney he'd decide to pick a crusade against (because of their WOKE MORALISING such as removing the racism from films or whatever) but him picking a fight with apple is much, much funnier.

Oh, the network slogan is true -- "watch FOX and be damned for all eternity!"

The App Store review process is capricious and unpredictable even on a good day. The other FAANG companies have all spent decades and millions on creating teams whose sole purpose is to build and maintain a good working relationship with Apple so that the inevitable random rejection gets resolved quickly and peacefully.

And even with them, Apple is notorious for shooting first and asking questions later -- e.g. the time they revoked Facebook's enterprise certificate over a research VPN program, which disabled all of Facebook's beta builds and internal tooling.

This is one of those things you really don't want to try to tweet through, so of course Melon's gonna do it

Facebook absolutely deserved that one though -- they were using their "research" permissions which are supposed to be for internal testing only on a thing being deployed to customers, which was collecting data on everything they did on the internet.

I don't like apple very much and I strongly dislike the walled garden, but that is probably one of the worst possible examples to pick of apple abusing their power.

I suggested to Elon that the secret might be hidden somewhere in the Terms of Service that Twitter agreed to with Apple, and he might want to look there for clues. Now patiently waiting for my ban for hate speech.
