Doesn't Apple bring in almost $400 billion in annual revenue? That's twice Elon's highest total net worth in a single year. And their market cap is over $2 trillion, which is 4x Tesla's overinflated and rapidly shrinking market cap. He's gonna get crushed.

It's amazing the amount of cognitive dissonance going on, when you get poo poo like this in-between him squawking about being a centrist.

I love and hate how I can't tell if you're serious or joking about the shop I made being a real tweet or a joke.

He’s posting it because he’s high af on benzos and has literally no inhibition. The same reason he bought twitter.

Exactly the same percentage of the population that already thinks he's cool. Maybe slightly less.

I can't overstate how sexless and pathetic the average Musk fanboy is.

That will change once musk puts together his dream team of giant right wing companies like MyPillow and…uh, I guess that rifle coffee brand? Their combined might will crush apple.

It's product placement, paid for by whoever makes the George Washington flintlock replicas. Musk's latest scheme for monetization is to personally tweet out $44 billion of sponsored products. Next he'll have a bed selfie with a mypillow while a spilled bottle of brain pills rests next to him.

The same percentage of the population that can look at Trump and somehow come out with positive sentiments about the guy.

tbf if Leon knew that there was a thread making fun of him for being a loving moronic sex pest that loves to pal around with nazis and child molesters he would probably buy SA just to ban anyone that pointed out these simple facts.

I vote that all posters ITT should be given 100 shares in the SA forums then forward the thread to him so he buys the shares for $420.69

It's almost a dead certainty that Elon's hand-written "look at the Twitter censorship machine!" report is going to make him look worse.

Also, there has been real reporting on Twitter and Facebook moderation and it was well-known that conservatives got the kid gloves treatment while other voices who got dog piled by the conservatives got an arbitrary iron fist.

It’s a certainty that he is only going to release information that fits his narrative

Yeah, I was being serious. It seemed so plausible he'd post something like that I just assumed it was real.

I can't imagine Apple is in a good mood right now considering a contractor got killed and like 16 others hurt when a car rammed into an Apple store near Boston last week. Tim Cook was seen in the area this weekend and they think he was meeting with the survivors. There's a lawsuit being started as it's been noted that the store didn't have those crash prevention poles in front. So yeah, good time to gently caress around with Apple.

Why do these dorks want to boycott apple if they drop Twitter? Aren't they going to Tesla phones and Chromebooks that are re-formatted to have elons face over everything?

Given Google's propensity to do everything Apple does but 6-18 months later, if Twitter disappears from the App Store it will probably disappear from Google Play shortly after.

It’s funny that elon is getting his followers all spun up on the apple thing, I doubt that they have even said anything to musk yet. Things are too chaotic right now and it would only be when there’s more of a definite pattern of things they can remove an app for would they even start the process, and I doubt they’re there yet.

Just getting his weirdos all freaky deaky helps drive the engagement on the platform though!
