NYT should tell what abut the outcome of the match of David versus Goliath.

David picked up five smooth stones. Musk apparently has a couple.

“Apple is a major source of ad dollars for Twitter. It was the biggest advertiser on the platform in the year’s first quarter, spending $48 million...”

Apple has no obligation, moral, ethical or legal to continue advertising on Twitter.

>> bombastically broader terms, calling it “a battle for the future of civilization.”

‘bombastically’ used in a pejorative way — unlike the well-received hyperbolic threats of the ‘climate change’

He boned Lockheed, ULA and Boeing in the rocket biz with a vehicle that is without dispute now the world leader.

He boned GM, Ford and all of Japan & Germany with the most successful new motor/fuel technology introduction in 100 years.

His satellite constellation is already doing well in a space that nobody in the telecom biz thought could ever work after the failure of Globalstar and Iridium.

The fading, aging has been operation known as the rotting Apple should be very, very nervous.

But as a duopoly over a critical service with Google it does at the very least have an obligation to treat Twitter fairly with regards to App Store access (they had no problem with hosting Truth Social and a bunch of other similar apps not to mention preMusk twitter when it was hosting illegal porn and violence but suddenly twitter is a problem) or we should look seriously whether we should allow them to keep having this level of control over us.

True.
But that is a different matter from banning Twitter from the app store cause Musk promotes free speech.
Apple should not complain when the same thing that happened to Disney happens to them. Musk has 120 million very loyal followers on Twitter, who are busy trashing Apple as we speak.

Apple Twitter Tesla Amazon Google Facebook and Microsoft are not real companies. They are NGOs. Which is to say they are supported by our federal government like Freddy Mac or Fanny Mae. But they are not obeying the laws or restrictions of a government department. They are outside the government but they are controlled by the government. They have grown without profits and they have not had the constraints of other companies because our government loved their spying capability. They loved their tracking of people and the satellites of Spacex which produces a communications network everywhere in the world even over Russia, even over China. These companies allow our swamp to spy on us and the world without “breaking the law”. They are as illegal as those crossing the Reo Grande.

These are the generals (Trump, Musk, DeSantis, Paul, and more on the way) who are calling up troops to do battle against our common enemies: outrageous and unconstitutional government, woke culture, moral idolatry, deep state corruption, atheist mainstream churches, the MSM, Marxist university culture, the Democrat progressive party, the FED, woke industry, and more....

So, Apple is against Twitter allowing more free speech?

Nonense.

They have grown without profits

Apple, Google and Microsoft are about the most profitable companies in history.
Why do you constantly keep posting this nonsense?

Google is hardly a friend. Neither is Microsoft. Neither is Meta/Facebook. I don't know if there is a space for Musk to carve out a major phone player. I bought a Pine Phone (Linux). Not ready for Prime Time.

It appears that Apple is exercising its own free speech by not advertising on Twitter.
