My hunch is Apple was ALREADY feeling the anger from many customers that Apple was against free speech. I think Apple was already losing customers by cutting advertising and threatening Twitter.

The leftoid bots are getting wiped out!
That's why leftists have seen their follower counts drop sharply, even ss conservatives have seen their follower numbers rise sharply.

Elon Musk
@elonmusk
Twitter is purging a lot of spam/scam accounts right now, so you may see your follower count drop

Maybe some rational Apple board members had a talk with Tim Cook about starting an unnecessary war with someone who could create a Tesla Phone and split the market in three.

He threatened to make smart phones and they don’t want that, because he’d make a damn good one,sell it for less, and tie it into Starlink to do things they can’t do.

Oh I think Tim Cook and China took the threat of a Starlink phone seriously and backed down.

I hope this doesn’t change, but it appears that Elon Musk is one of the rare people, who really is a “people person” much like President Trump, whom Musk seems not to support.

That is a pity. They would make an awesome, wicked Pair.

Thank God he is rich enough to take on all those Commies.

Didn’t Apple turn on the protesters and help the Chinese Communist Party
Well yea, but that's not to be discussed around the "meditation" pool. APP's are way more important for democracy.
