Oh for sure. I just wonder if Elon told him something along the lines of “I have blah blah on you” and they made a deal of sorts. Elon is just being so blunt and mysterious at the same time lol
More likely is that Apple is already losing market share to Android at a pretty notable pace, and if Elon slammed his figurative gold balls on the table and worked to develop a phone, it would inevitably hurt Apple. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but Elon has an ass load of talent in his employ and now has the viewership of many, MANY millions.
I truly love my Blackberry... hubby and I use the PRIV, was released 7 years ago and has a slide out QWERTY keyboard. Waiting to buy the PRIV 2 but not released here yet.
When I did drive by appraisals years ago, I had a Blackberry. I was the first one to get the orders and they were blasted out. I could accept and have it locked in before anyone else got them. It was a great phone.
I doubt it was anything like this. Apple doesn’t want to litigate against Musk. Because he has the same deep pockets. And antitrust cases can be brought by private parties, not just government. You can bet they’d get hammered in an antitrust suit for throwing twitter out of the app store.
Frankly, it is debateable that antitrust law permits apple to throw people out on specious grounds. There is not going to be an easy way to explain this as a rational business decision; instead it will look like an illegal vertical restraint of trade. Damages in these types of suits can be astronomical - and courts have the power to break up companies for this sort of behavior. Not saying that would be the remedy here…just something to be mindful of if you are Apple.
Depending on where you filed a suit, you could easily get a favorable decision. SCOTUS only takes 1% of the petitions for certiorari they get. You’d think they’d want to have the last say in such a high profile case. But no guarantee they want to touch it, let alone rule in your favor.
Apple doesn’t want to go toe to toe with an equally matched foe. Losing a case like this could impact the issue of 30% revenues taken off the top from App Store developers. They don’t want to lose that ability or have it curtailed. Likewise, they don’t want to lose the ability to throw smaller fish out of the store. For them, fucking with Musk could be a lot worse for them than building a new competitor.
Yes, it is. I'm one of the few adults I know wthout a "smart" phone. And everyone wonders how I can actually have a life. I feel like the one-eyed man in the country of the blind.
They are a rare commodity, Fren. The one young lady I know who is prohibited from having a cell phone is the politest student I have ever encountered, very respectful, always a kind word, and a pleasure to have in class. Well lo and behold, she's getting straight A's in honors classes and scored a 32 on the ACT. Imagine that.
I agree… And the price of TVs when they dropped to an affordable price for even the poorest of the poor. You can get a TV cheap on the cheap at Walmart all day and all night. Cheap enough for people have them in every darn room.
If there is one thing we have seen in the past 2 years, there are no coincidences, everything is connected and well co-ordinated, patriots are in control.
We normally would not even be able to guess at a possible behind the scene manipulations of the world stage, but luckily Q changed all that
This is the part that I do not like.
Looking around at all of these apathetic fat fucks not waking up to the danger we are in is astounding.
The whole entire system will have to crash before these idiots wake up. I don't know if this HAD to happen. But I get why it does. It just sucks for us who've been awake that we need to suffer tremendously because idiots don't want to wake up.
but Apple remains seriously fcked this season, and likely beyond.
Part of it this is the funny money drying up. Elites were printing money with their CBs and then hiding it and laundering it in Wall Street. Hence all these big companies shot to the moon. A lot of it will come crashing down.
I expect Apple will remain but it will be a much smaller company than it used to be. If they didnt play ball, they probably would have disappeared.
Do not forget about the CCP tech giant Foxconn Industrial Internet and the highly secretive 8th Wonder if the World in Racine, Wisconsin.
Tim Cook knows about Racine and Fii based in the model CCP cities of Shenzhen and Racine.
Mark Zuckerberg knows about Racine. He used Racine to funnel the election money and as the gateway and model district. His censorship director Makanju led community organizing in Racine.
Elon Musk knows about Racine, its ties to NASA , smart city transportation, Admiral Byrd and beyond Little America, the ties to Silicon Valley Community Foundation and Bank, and why more and why more members of Majestic 12 were from Wisconsin than any other state.
Elon Musk, Ye and many others have had deep connections through several branches of the network. They are neither blind nor dumb. They also both openly proclaim support for both free speech and Jesus Christ.
If they need to know more, they and anyone can "keep digging into Racine" as US Senate Anon asked before they vanished. Q knows what has been shared about Racine is The Truth.
Racine is also the root of publishing, propaganda, censorship and Agenda 2030. Paul Ryan, John Jeffry Louis, Warren Buffett, Nilay Patel, NPR, Knight Foundation, Council for a Community of Democracies, Aspen Institute, Brookings Institution and so many others all know.
Racine is the backdoor of America left open to China and the alliance of corporate nations, foundations, PACs, NGOs, interfaith coalitions, think tanks and global secret societies for generations.
Read about the Johnson Foundation history as one of the key connections.
What do you think will mess up this whole Racine conspiracy for them? What needs to happen besides people waking up to the scam?
Because we've woken up to the election fraud and not a damn thing is being done about it. I am starting to realize that kinetic solutions are going to be required for any real change to happen.
I feel like the Diet Coke cans were a reminder of some deal that was made with Musk, Cook, and Trump, and possibly others. Apple allowing Truth Social also seems like they have been put into checkmate.
Or threats from states to sue, ongoing issues with supply chains and declining economy isn't the time to make a philosophical stand against your business interests..
Obvious answer: Apple fired all reverse thrusters when Elon mentioned making a phone. They turned their battle fleet on a dime and laid down the red carpet, with rose petals
I can simplify this. Tim Cook is used to the game of whipping out his dick and destroying another companies coffers by merely suggesting they are bad and spreading a rumor about them.
This time Elon whipped out his dick and bludgeoned the ever living shit out of apples coffers. In less than a day he reminded everyone that they use slave labor and that they block Chinese from talking when the communist parties wants so. And now some people are actually wondering if you have any privacy on an Apple phone. All in one day.
You better believe there was a “misunderstanding.”
Notifications, camera and microphone integrations, video filters, security features. Just like EBay, Amazon, and others. Even Google Play has a similar structure.
Apple develops their own chips, iOS, and has created an entire Apple environment where everything seamlessly interconnects and works. The Feds use Apple because they got tired of being hacked by a company that they knew has backdoors.
Apple is quite secure; that’s why many contractors as well as Govt entities have picked Apple over others. Apple claims they do not sell your information; and the Oxley Sarbanes act of 2012 sets forth penalties that would bankrupt Apple if they lied. Such as a leadership member starting that the companies doesn’t monitor or sell personal information (Both Steve Jobs and Tim Cook have repeatedly stated this). The offense carries a fiscal penalty of $60k per customer, per event per device; plus 10+ years for all management aware or involved
I think Apple is already losing it's I phones. It is just a matter of time. My son just switched to an Android, and me, I am waiting for the Tesla phone. I don't think they are that far away from releasing them.
I wouldn't be surprised, if Apple just randomly removed Twitter anyways, as liberals promised not to boycott Twitter advertisements if Musk promised not to allow everybody back on the platform. Liberals broke their promise first and that allowed Musk to just go ahead with unbanning everyone. Therefore it would be foolish to just take Apple for their word, as my hunch is that sooner or later they are going to break it.
Hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Musk is no perfect angel, he wouldn't buy Twitter unless he thought he could gain from it. He has been useful for us as of now but that may change. Keep your guard up always.
In other news it looks like they are trying to shut down nitter
An Apple employee related to the App Store deleted his personal Twitter and everyone got retarded about it. That’s why you shouldn’t believe anything unless you know the original source.
Apple knows they will lose the iPhone business if they do this.
Oh for sure. I just wonder if Elon told him something along the lines of “I have blah blah on you” and they made a deal of sorts. Elon is just being so blunt and mysterious at the same time lol
Elon does love his blunts. 👍
He also has a thing for sinks. The guy is definitely entertaining, which is very useful for waking normies.
Funnily enough, Robert Downey Jr based his portrayal of Tony stark off of elon musk
I didn’t know this. That’s crazy
More likely is that Apple is already losing market share to Android at a pretty notable pace, and if Elon slammed his figurative gold balls on the table and worked to develop a phone, it would inevitably hurt Apple. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but Elon has an ass load of talent in his employ and now has the viewership of many, MANY millions.
I've never stopped using a Blackberry.
smart
I truly love my Blackberry... hubby and I use the PRIV, was released 7 years ago and has a slide out QWERTY keyboard. Waiting to buy the PRIV 2 but not released here yet.
When I did drive by appraisals years ago, I had a Blackberry. I was the first one to get the orders and they were blasted out. I could accept and have it locked in before anyone else got them. It was a great phone.
The ruin of BlackBerry is another thing they need to answer for!
Or maybe the white hats told Tim something just before they met ;)
You mean he pulled an Avenatti?
I doubt it was anything like this. Apple doesn’t want to litigate against Musk. Because he has the same deep pockets. And antitrust cases can be brought by private parties, not just government. You can bet they’d get hammered in an antitrust suit for throwing twitter out of the app store.

I remember the good old days of flip phones, where you actually had a phone and not something that could control the whims of the populace.
Tell me about it. I teach in a high school. A kid without a phone is what we consider to be an anomaly.
Another reason I will likely homeschool
My son is one of the very few 5th graders without a phone. It’s insane
Yes, it is. I'm one of the few adults I know wthout a "smart" phone. And everyone wonders how I can actually have a life. I feel like the one-eyed man in the country of the blind.
Do they actually exist?
They are a rare commodity, Fren. The one young lady I know who is prohibited from having a cell phone is the politest student I have ever encountered, very respectful, always a kind word, and a pleasure to have in class. Well lo and behold, she's getting straight A's in honors classes and scored a 32 on the ACT. Imagine that.
God Bless you! Need more teachers like you Vindicator!
Why thank you Joy 😃
It always gives me hope for our kids and the future when I find our that one of our GAW family is a teacher!!
I agree… And the price of TVs when they dropped to an affordable price for even the poorest of the poor. You can get a TV cheap on the cheap at Walmart all day and all night. Cheap enough for people have them in every darn room.
I got rid of mine when my sister died of a 4x6 tumor, right where she had that damn thing all the time.
Haven't had a TV since 2008. Bought one at Walmart in 2020 to use it for my computer monitor. Good screen size.
I still use them. you can still get them, they are inexpensive.
And you idiots act like you knew all along when five minutes ago you were all running around like your hair was on fire.
I can assure you that 85% of iPhone users have Twitter installed, if Twitter is removed from Apple, Apple will lose 85% of sales.
Why do you think workers in Foxconn in China started suddenly protesting recently?
Moves and counter moves.
It would have been an unearthly act of coordination and control… but the timing certainly was impeccable. 🧐
Elon now seems to have got the assurance he wanted… but Apple remains seriously fcked this season, and likely beyond. 😙
If there is one thing we have seen in the past 2 years, there are no coincidences, everything is connected and well co-ordinated, patriots are in control.
We normally would not even be able to guess at a possible behind the scene manipulations of the world stage, but luckily Q changed all that
I keep thinking. How many consequences does there need to be before it proves the patriots are in control?
However many are required for the majority of the sheep to wake up. Its entirely up to them.
This is the part that I do not like. Looking around at all of these apathetic fat fucks not waking up to the danger we are in is astounding.
The whole entire system will have to crash before these idiots wake up. I don't know if this HAD to happen. But I get why it does. It just sucks for us who've been awake that we need to suffer tremendously because idiots don't want to wake up.
Whole system will have to crash, hmm? Insert Gamestop+Loopring=Winning.
System Crash
Game Stop
Exactly. Protesting all around the world the past few years is no coincidence. There is a well coordinated plan underway.
Part of it this is the funny money drying up. Elites were printing money with their CBs and then hiding it and laundering it in Wall Street. Hence all these big companies shot to the moon. A lot of it will come crashing down.
I expect Apple will remain but it will be a much smaller company than it used to be. If they didnt play ball, they probably would have disappeared.

This is one gigantic movie with lots of actors. Most of this choreographed far in advance
Thats pretty much how the world has always worked.
Yup. No difference besides IQ. We are embarrassing.
I feel like the Diet Coke cans were a reminder of some deal that was made with Musk, Cook, and Trump, and possibly others. Apple allowing Truth Social also seems like they have been put into checkmate.

Maybe...
Obvious answer: Apple fired all reverse thrusters when Elon mentioned making a phone. They turned their battle fleet on a dime and laid down the red carpet, with rose petals
Elon truly feels like a real life Bruce Wayne right now. The world is Gotham city and he’s our Batman.
I thought Trump was batman. haha
https://rumble.com/vw0r1v-mr.-trump-are-you-batman.html
Ahhh that’s true ! Batman and Elon is robin ? But robin wasn’t rich. But maybe he is by association. Which actually fits… hmm 🤔
Ya. Trillion dollar corporations just randomly delete all their tweets for no reason like teenage girls all the time
Elon showed Tim his checkbook, proving he could buyout Apple, too.
I can simplify this. Tim Cook is used to the game of whipping out his dick and destroying another companies coffers by merely suggesting they are bad and spreading a rumor about them.
This time Elon whipped out his dick and bludgeoned the ever living shit out of apples coffers.

You better believe there was a “misunderstanding.”
All iPhones get app support from Apple
Developers get training, Apple wrote Swift, provides compilers and libraries of routines. Apple provides distribution, marketing and updates
Apple takes a 30% commission for all apps, and commissions on sales (books, movies, etc). Elon’s $8 check mark is no exception
30% is insane. Musk should remove it from the App Store himself. I don’t know if the app provides anything the a browser doesn’t
Notifications, camera and microphone integrations, video filters, security features. Just like EBay, Amazon, and others. Even Google Play has a similar structure.

So Tim is not the “tough guy” huh?! He bends his knee in all directions!!!
We as civilians will probably never know. But all he really had to do was read a few juice dms and walla. We good here. Elon, I thought so...
I think Apple is already losing it's I phones. It is just a matter of time. My son just switched to an Android, and me, I am waiting for the Tesla phone. I don't think they are that far away from releasing them.
Google gave Android phone location data of 5800 J6 protestors to the Justice Dept.
I wouldn't be surprised, if Apple just randomly removed Twitter anyways, as liberals promised not to boycott Twitter advertisements if Musk promised not to allow everybody back on the platform. Liberals broke their promise first and that allowed Musk to just go ahead with unbanning everyone. Therefore it would be foolish to just take Apple for their word, as my hunch is that sooner or later they are going to break it.
So he’s just scared you might use your money to force him to sell apple? This is the sense I get.
It’s called checkmate
I hope he still releases a Tesla phone with star link built in..
Tim realized that musk is just a front man for military backing, and that if he persued removing the app, he would be tried for treason.
Or they are working together 😬
Elon "reasoned" with Tim.
*wink wink
Lol made him an offer he couldn't refuse?
Hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Musk is no perfect angel, he wouldn't buy Twitter unless he thought he could gain from it. He has been useful for us as of now but that may change. Keep your guard up always.

Good deal!
An Apple employee related to the App Store deleted his personal Twitter and everyone got retarded about it. That’s why you shouldn’t believe anything unless you know the original source.
Who was that Karen who announced that she emailed them.....
He shouldn’t blackmail. Just spill it it!
Blackmail is what demons do with the truth.
Elon simply sets the truth free.
