If Apple were to ban Twitter, if Elon Musk brought out a phone, it could cause a stampede away from Apple for those interested in a dedicated Twitter phone.
I think Elon Musk would use Android, since it’s free.
My belief is that Tim Cook will not ban Twitter because of that risk. Apples only product these days is their phone and Ipad. Losing customers would really hurt the company.
I’m sure there is a FBI/DHS presence at Apple, one of the preeminent influencers across the planet. The Apple intimidation floated to try to undercut the resurrection of Trump’s Twitter account two weeks ago failed. Now that Musk is naming names and dropping proof, how much pressure is DC IC applying to Apple to shut Musk down NOW. It’s the same stakes as when the FBI was full on Stalinist in railroading Trump off of Twitter. I think this, released now, basically says, bring it! I love this guy.
