Elon Musk slams Apple after company pauses Twitter advertising

[SlinkyMike]

So was I. But you're still a hate filled bigot. So nothing new.

That may or may not be true but it shouldn't stop you from learning though?

Musk has an excellent point though and it raises the whole Fortnite issue again about the 30% Apple tax. Not that I would use any other brand for most of my tech. It’s because they can… But it’s not right.

Corporates and left wing politicians are birds of a feather in how they milk the ‘we care the most’ facade while continuing to plunder.

That last sentence is basically the definition of fascism.

I know some very clever people in the fields of math, engineering, and medical research.

Most of them have a piss poor understanding of human psychology and what motivates human behaviour - give them a technical problem and they'll run rings around you; give them a people problem and they're left gasping for air like a fish out of water.

Elon is very definitely one of the former types.

I have no skin in the game wrt to Twitter and admire what he did with SpaceX and Tesla - it's fascinating to see where this particular journey is going to end.

Correct, which is the revelation most realise about the modern left once one has gained some life experience.

It begins with capturing the minds of the young and/or ignorant using the "We care the most!" tactic for votes.

Thanks dear, maybe you should look at what I responded to.

Adulterating my snip, and then repeating it was a response?

 

[Asgard85]

I don’t get this guy.

He buys a company and proceeds to do exactly what he wants with it but cries like a little b*tch when others do the same.

Why would it be that Twitter gets to decide for itself what kind of company it wants to be but the same is not permitted for other companies when what they want is different to Twitter.

Free speech, self-determination etc are only acceptable if it fits in with what he wants? Sounds like the thinking of a child or a raging narcissist if you ask me.

I added some glare to Elon's face.

First prototype is being tested.

 

[RonSwanson]

I am amazed at the number of people who only see one (very obvious) issue with this.
Or maybe they are just leftists trying to deflect and obfuscate the real issue?

Do you have a link? That's a photo which popped up in 2021 for a design concept by some 3rd party.

Suddenly we love defacto duopolies.

Wait until you find out Democrats are the ones trying to force Apple to allow sideloading alternative stores.

What is a Vlan. What silly meme is this now.

Social media has squat to do with freedom of speech. They are public companies with their own polices. Vlan is delusional.
And if someone doesn't like a company you can't be forced to use them. Use another.
Vlan is behaving like a commie.

Oh, and freedom of speech is goose stepping in front of the Lincoln memorial and reading from the Mein Kampf. That physical right does not automatically translate into something else unless its legislated by more than two thirds of the legislature.

Vlan is Elon for those who believe he should not be named.

And you can't go goose stepping in the foyer of the local Shul and reading from the Mein Kampf like you do in front of the Lincoln memorial because its private property where the owners frown on it.

If Vlan want to make twitter a right wing platform via his policies then he mustn't expect libtard companies like apple to buy ads from him.

What is the real issue here?

And he is probably going to discover autonomic dialing...

If you say Elon 3 times in a mirror he appears?

You know that's just an old wive's tale right?

It's fake. Was just using some free speech.

 

[Itsa Trap]

Isn't it beautiful though

One man making so many adults cry

Depends. Sure a dank meme or two or three at the right time can be a glorious thing... it's just... I mean of course I knew he was just another one of us plebs (just with money and luck), but it was nice to have a billionaire who seemed to be Tony Starking it up and with his Rob Downey Jr years behin... oh **** no, they're just ahead. Goddammit.

I'm not sure why anyone expects him to be special or save the world

Heck even the pope's a dick

Not that easy if you already have million of followers on twitter.

I don't thnk you understand the Apple fanbase .

Tim just has to say 'thou shalt not use Twitter' .. and that's the end of Twitter
