Musk also is not a fan of Apple's commissions on app and in-app purchases of 15% to 30%, which is an issue for the entrepreneur as he ramps up Twitter Blue's $8 a month fee for the verified checkmark.

This writer hasn't a clue how Elon Musk intends to monetize Twitter and will invite Apple to share the wealth.   That is the real joke right now.

doesn't mean Apple wouldn't remove or block Twitter updates from the App Store if the social media company violated Apple's developer guidelines for the store. Cook has previously said Apple expects Twitter, under Musk, to continue moderating content. Musk, however has fired many of the employees responsible for moderating content on Twitter while its head of safety, Yoel Roth, resigned last month.

Sure, violating developer guidelines is one thing. That was never a concern. Allowing buggy code, malware, or other garbage apps to knowingly be uploaded to the Apple Store is a concern for ANY developer, not just Twitter.

Content moderation is problematic through. It's one thing to block apps for violating laws about kiddy p*rn, for example. Requiring moderation of apps because Apple doesn't agree with, or like the exchange of ideas is something else.

Hopefully Musk didn't take his cell phone ideas off the table. Cook needs to know that threat is still there.

my take is that you had SJWS mid-level managerial staff that work for apple who were behaving as if the ap was going to be removed. And that Tim cook will be having to take care of problems being caused by the SJW woke crowd that works at apple.

Tim Cook not only met with Musk but with the House GOP leadership as well. Right now he has a huge ongoing problem at the Apple manufacturing facilities in China. He is in no position to be at war with Musk, the Republican Congress and China all at the same time.

They are both liberals. They are on the same side. Musk is slight right of Cook so they were coming to blows over marginal differences.
