Facebook has over 2 billion users and Apple told facebook to fuck off. Twitter has 220 million or so users so you can guess what Apple would say to Twitter.

You know in a way I am happy to see all these social media companies suffer. We have too much of monopoly in this space. We as a population are also quite early in terms of using social media and our rules of engagement havent really been defined as yet.

In the future I fully expect, a multitude of social media platforms, with different political leanings/themes dominating this space. Infact preferable as people can hang out with similarly minded people

Nice.
An NPC meme pretending to be a real argument but instead just showing that someone who posts memes like that is an NPC who just repeats what they are told.
Very meta.

If they do this many people will switch to android and possibly X will make their own phone. More players are needed in this space rather then just google and Apple controlling everything.

Elon making his own phone and failing even more disastrously would be hilarious, I think we all know that.

30% cut is pretty standard in the industry. I imagine that Telsa may one day have an app store and if it does then most likely Tesla would charge the standard 30%.

I'd hate to have to join 20 different sites to keep in touch with people. Everyone is on facebook, huzzah for monopoly.
Also they are not a hard monopoly, there are many places one can place advertising dollars both in terms of different social media companies and in the real world.

I think keeping in touch with your friends/family wont be through social media in the future though.

Won’t tell us why? Cause they are breaking terms of service by selling the the blue check mark an in App purchases.

Apple can fuck right off with its business model… but Elon knows why… lol.

Of course Elon knows why.
He's performing for his fans.
He is a master manipulator. Today I saw a barrage of tweets about how he is "fighting for free speech in America". The number of fools that fall for this bullshit never ceases to amaze me.

It never ceases to amaze me that people can see his behavior and then say with a straight face he is a "free-speech champion" or whatever. It seems like that much cognitive dissonance would rip your head in two.

I don't think that the damages lawsuits are going to do more than flesh wound a beast as a large as Musk. But the resulting fallout will make him easier to mug, beat and gobble for the other tech mega-players, like Apple.

They are live tweeting the twitter files. And at first look it looks like there was no real new info. I mean we always knew that governments and other parties would point out and report certain tweets for removal if they were based on misinformation or lies.
