Tim Cook basically begged Elon to go or Elon went as almost an emergency . Both scenarios play in my head
@Jeff Thomas Who cares how much more Elon is PERSONALLY worth…on paper? This is about 2 BUSINESSES transacting and Twitter is financially insignificant to Apple. Musk has ZERO leverage in a “fight” with Apple.
The personal wealth difference would be irrelevant to Tim Cook anyway. He’s got billions. That’s more than enough to buy basically anything he wants.
@Jeff Thomas First, that’s irrelevant, it’s market cap, not income. Apple is far more profitable, (Tim Cook’s shares in Apple actually pay him a dividend, Tesla’s are well… down a bit closer to their intrinsic value lately)
Second, watch this space, that gap’s narrowing every day.
@Mike Stanmore yes but apple is based on here and now just like Facebook you can challenge it and defeat it not so easy Brick and mortar
@Jeff Thomas What does that mean? It’s all based in the here and now.
@Jeff Thomas
Elon lost $100 billions.
How can anyone take Elon seriously now?
@Sunset
Elon has been clinically diagnosed. He openly talked about his mental health condition.
@John Freeman it’s called DIE cult. Diversity, inclusivity, Equity.
@Lumberjack Dreamerso let me guess, vaccinated wokey?
@Lumberjack Dreamer and yet he is still the richest person in the world.
Now that you know what has been going on behind the scenes at Twitter and the Biden Administration, does that change your thinking? Seems your comment would be more appropriate if you replaced “Elon” with “Joe”.
The European Commission on Wednesday threatened Musk with a ban unless Twitter abides by strict content moderation rules, as US Treasury secretary Janet Yellen indicated that Washington was reviewing his purchase of the social network.

Tim Cook meeting is big. EU, nobody cares.
Elon the invincible…. 😂 😂 😄
You can’t conduct business with someone who is all over the place.
He’s the worlds most successful businessman.
at the end of the day you find a way if you think it would benefit you financially
@agt155yeah losing $100 billion of your net worth probably proves that
And yet he’s the world’s richest person.
@Guna G When did he lose $100Bn?
This is how it went. Tim told Elon that if you piss me off I kick Twitter off the app store. Then Tim told Elon if you don’t like it you can go pound sand. Elon then walked out crying like a little girl. The end.
@Pink Floyd’s fan Elon is a loser. He’s having a mental breakdown, and hopefully his handlers will put him on a tight leash and get things back on track.
@Kris Mmm you’re proud because a monopolistic company who actively subverts free speech in the East and West is now turning its attention to the western digital town square 🤦♂️🤦♂️
@Kris Mmm A negative Tweet campaign about Apple and their sweatshops in China would probably destroy their company – it would certainly end Tim Cook
literally the opposite
Maybe! Apple does have extraordinary monopoly power to make or break. , But you forgot the bit were Tim Cook confirmed that he would not remove Twitter from App store, no matter what bile the Lorenz monstrosity spouts from her pen or mouth! End game works for Cook and Musk and not for the Lorenz woman and others seeking to cancel Twitter. Result is, uncertainty removed for Twitter advertisers. Status quo maintained. Next!!

I cant wait for the backpedal from twitter about how they are “committed” to the ios platform.
He already said misunderstandings have been resolved. And twitter ain’t going anywhere from iOS.
@Bheshaj B which is of course the right conclusion.
@Andre AnyoneI agree. We should silence the opposition(big evil conservatives wanting a two-way street) and do it all in the name of Democracy!!!! Democracy!!!! Leveling the playing field is bad and only liberals should have a voice. That’s definitely pro-free speech.
@Jagnole101 lol okay clown, you a cuck. Learn to read you simpleton
@Andre Anyone Learn to spell, and perhaps that will come at no challenge. What was your original message?
HC of 3500 is “skeleton crew”. You guys are used to pork.
Crybaby Musk again… Stay tuned for the next pouting episode.
Well Elon supporters will not by Apple phones, they will buy Samsung. Elon got lot of supporters.
This is highly political, they need to quit acting childish. Twitter is allowing free speech.
If EU bans Twitter, maybe cutoff EU from oil and gas supply.
This is absolute nonsense.
If EU and US bans Twitter, Elon should immediately stop giving Star Link to Ukraine and instead give it to Russia. Tit for tat!
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕❤️❤️
EU underestimates Musk. If they ban Twitter, he’ll just build his own EU.
If and When Elon introduces a Phone Apple will be history. I can see these liberal companies not selling Chips to Elon for his cars. I think I see so much political fragmentation here in USA.
@I4N
Please send your money to the pillow guy and Alex jones. They need y’all red hat sheeple.
@Lumberjack Dreamer okay fair enough. What’s your beef with the pillow guy?
@Ron Swanson
Please dude, don’t attack America again. Just send money to the pillow guy and Alex jones, watch Fox News, pray to your orange god… whatever it takes, but please stay away from your guns, don’t shoot kids, don’t attack our Capitol again.
@Ron Swanson
Oh and please stop trying to steal elections. Republicans lose because republicans are traitors. We don’t like them.
Tesla are now producing their own chipsets. Elon Musk is very aware of the vulnerabilities that outside suppliers can introduce and all his companies try for vertical integration of supplies. Just like with the birth pangs of SpaceX, what he couldn’t buy cheap enough got made in house.
The EU and Apple have gone full communist. Just fine when the left was spreading all their misinformation and proven lies.
He will staff up with people in India paid 1/10 of the staff he fired. Easy.
Who will train them🤣
More like 0.3/10
India is a very poor country
I think the thing most people are over looking is the fact that more people does not equal more results. especially if they are high paying comfortable jobs where maintaining the status quo is what’s best for their situation. Elon is not one to sit back and allow ‘more of the same’ never has, never will. if you cant hang, dont join his companies. it’s as simple as that. but turns out all the smartest engineers want to work at his companies so go figure.
No. Not at all. He has right sized staff to 2019 levels . Since that time Twitter headcount grew 3x whist traffic grew just 50%. So what were these staff doing…. Censorship, obviously!! So they are not needed. What Musk needs is absolutely highest calibre coders to build the new products Inc payments. These people will be the best of the best. Notably top new engineering grads chose Tesla and SpaceX as #1 and #2 companies to join. I can’t remember if Twitter was on that list. So Musk can now leverage his engineering reputation to recruit best of best. I guess.
@Mark Thomas “Censorship, obviously!! ” People who post things like this have no idea how websites and their infrastructure(s) work. The tech stack changed since 2019. Do try not to embarrass yourself.
You need more people to push out code changes/bug fixes faster. In addition to testing those changes and making the UX design changes. You also need more people to staff your data centers on a 7/24/365 basis The more servers you have? The more people you need. The more users? The more servers. The servers? The more backups. Etc etc.
Twitter also needed an entire staff to handle selling/dealing with ad revenue and they needed their own in house lawyers to deal with legal issues and writing their documentation. Corporate structure isn’t just your obsession with “I’m being CENSORED”
People like you who pretend to understand tech are an embarrassment to yourselves.
Elon Musk
Boycott Apple
Boycott Elon
@Zach Johnson boycott both and go to decentralised world 😂
Free enterprise company 🍏 chooses not to violate its own terms of service by not participating or practicing its freedom of expression on a pro misinformation/hate speech platform. Elon Musk’s simps 🤡 feel free to reply to run interference as Elon Musk bans accounts on Twitter for “free speech” 🤡
Lmfao. Just because you call somthing hate, doesn’t mean it is. Time for leftists to understand this. Free speech is free speech. If apples terms of service has a problem, they betterr rewrite it. Free speech is a human right, no matter who it offends.
@Paul D.B 🤡
Iphone user is still able to access twitter on browser anyway. 🤭
Yeah, but people are lazy.
bruh … if forced to use the browser people will forget twitter real quick at least on their phone
Once you start taking things and banning them, it’s the cue for people to show up at your door. Most likely with guns…. Just remember that! And don’t complain when it happens. I’ll just say I told you so
You’re threatening to attack America again? Despicable red hat fanatic.
Bring it on, snowflake. We’re ready. Be prepared to whine and cry like all those January 6 convicted felons.
@Lumberjack Dreamer like antifa in 2020? No, we’re no decent conservative would attack public businesses and set them on fire, nor kill retired policemen, or take over a city…. Gee sounds like a bunch dumbs
@Lumberjack Dreamer snowflake? Haha! I wish this were in person! 🤣🇺🇸
Wonder why yahoo is so bias? Maybe cuz they are a pay for platform, anyone that pays can pump and dump their ponzi or crap stock on their platform
FOX News and Twitter’s misinformation is spreading hate, violence & fear.
Elon Musk & Fox news doesn’t care about free speech, people, etc
The unelected, unaccountable power-crazed speech fascists at the EU can’t tolerate diversity of opinion.
No surprise as most of it is run buy woke Nazis.
Wasn’t Twitter supposed to have died a couple weeks ago? 75% fired and running better than ever. Tim Cook Assured Musk that doesn’t have plans to ban Twitter. And EU meeting was about meeting EU rules that Musk already stated that are in alignment. Why the FUD?
Elon Musk just farted, can you make a video about it?
The frat dude on the right comes off very condescending at the beginning of this video.
The EU is going full orwellian
EU laws have been like that for a long time so according to your logic it should already be a dystopian hellscape at this point however you just described the current situation as “”going full orwellian “”.
EU is pretty ridiculous. They literally censor stuff. And when Elon took over they immediately sent him a message that they’re untouchable. It’s sickening behavior. They have been acting like dictators but the woke liberals act like it’s normal. It upsets me to no end
@MysticMarble We already have censorship.
People want to talk and give opinions as if they are running companies, low IQ maggots
Has anyone told Musk that he does not own Apple?
Don’t say that out loud or Elon might buy Apple 😂
@Mauraece He lost billions buying Twitter because so many advertising giants already left. He also sold a ton of Telsa stock to buy his mega mouth platform and is in the hole to his financial backers. If Apple pulls out, he might be a riches to rags has been.
at least elon s not going to bang tim s wife
What a moron! He think Elon is trolling 🤣
So you are say Elon Musk lie? If he lie about these he can lie about Tesla safety issue.
Musk is a bore
Musk needs help. Daddy issues.
The left is begging for censorship while in china they are begging for free speech
Tesla phone will be 2 tin cans with a string between them. There will be lots of recalls and fires.
It’s gonna be a phone specially marketed for the red hat sheeple, with direct access to Alex jones and the pillow guy.
tim cook and apple are servants to the ccp
Never trust companies that ‘ ‘ ‘turn off comments on their social media’ ‘ ‘ like apple does on youtube.
Elon is the best!
Apple is basically a Chinese company. Why would they have any say in what happens in the states? Can’t have your dick in both pies as they say
Tim Cook cried for mercy really quick 😂
Weird cause it seems like Elon went to Tim. If Apple bans Twitter then they really lose nothing but what can Elon do?
Mercy? 😂
Yall desperate for a hero.
You’re a fool ,Apple is worth 2 trillion, Elon Musk companies not close.
elon slaves are sure delusional
Where’s Tim Cook in Elon’s Video Tweet ? Till I see both Elon with Tim’s Face together It’s safe to say Elon’s lying
Apple decided against having a war with Elon
Issue resolved
So the EU doesn’t want free speech.
The EU has freedom of expression, which doesn’t allow hate speech or conspiracy theories and we very would like to keep it that way, keep your hate and violence, don’t believe your propaganda telling you everyone looks up to the US, most european countries have better standards of living, higher life expectancy, happier people and many more, keep your poisonned mindset to yourself, thanks
@trthib so all your government officials are of the highest, exemplary standard of moral fortitude and thus can be the true & just panel at arbiting what is okay to post on social media and what is not?
@Brett Slaathaug That is interpreted correctly. It’s censorship. We no longer have freedom of expression.
(Algorithms + AI) > some bs committee.
Once EU regulators see this…case closed
It’s Good vs Evil , Apples stocks gonna tank
You don’t know the difference between good and evil Trump cult supporter
Apple Stock did tank. Then he bent over to Musk and his stock went back up. Listen to woke girls is that they will get Candy points if they listen to Big Daddy Elon.
Why are they acting like meeting Tim Cook is abominable act?
✔️✔️✔️✔️
Elon Musk is begging because he lost 100 biggest companies including Apple and Google.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Musk has always maintained free speech subject to that countries Laws . This is not a story
❤️❤️❤️
That’s Tim Cook and Elon in the shadows in the clip 100%
I can’t wait to see Tim Cook get on his knees and submit to the great Elon Musk.
The EU are afraid of what Elon might find out about the EU now he ownes Twitter.
APPLE IS NOW A TRAITOROUS CHINA ASX LICKER. AND ALL AMRRICA SHOULD CANCEL THEM. A FEW BILLION IN LOSSES WILL WAKE UP THAT HOLLYWOOD WOKE ASX TIM COOK
If this isn’t a wake up call for the world then I don’t know what is. We are all being lied to!
Freedom of speech comes with a price
Breaking News : Elon Musk has lost what left of his crazed mind.
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕📩📩
❤️❤️
EU is going full villain
We have censorship here.
elon musk should buy apple
Anyone else read this as “EU wants to ban free speech to push their political agenda and not be able to censor the right wings, who use logic rather than emotion?”
I am happy That Elon and Tim have this resolved. I do think Elon should have a backup plan in the future. I think the only reason Tim Cook finally answered Elon is because republican law makers came out the other day stating some facts about App. Tim is not a friend of Elon’s just doing business. So, I still think Elon should look into other avenues as something like this could happen again or another issue rises with apple. There has to be other companies out there in this world that can offer Elon what he needs
Definitely enjoying the leftist meltdown over Twitter.
The funniest part is all the coping, “i never even had a twitter account’
lol sure thing snowflake 😉
Lol the EU is literally the NAZIS undercover.
This is just a smoke cover. They actually met to talk about the next Apple X Tesla car
✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️
if EU make’s a move on that we should boycott all of those shitheads
✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️
Funny how these big businesses who have been in bed with the Democrats under a corporatocracy are so afraid of free speech in fact they claim free speeche is a threat to free speech fools!
I hate totalitarian marxists I wish we could send them all to Guantanamo Tim Cook the Democrats the Republicans everybody who is not America first
I agree with the EU’s hard line on social media extremism but it has to apply to the woke left as much as the alt right . Cancel culture and the far left radical agenda is just as dangerous as right wing conspiracy theories and misinformation .
It’s not like Musk is just pissing off Apple …. just wait till the rest join in.
@Andrew Sizemore A very simplistic view of events.
this is what happens when you mix business with your personal feelings, you’d think a genius billionaire would know that already.
Time for Elon to integrate it to starlink as a priority
Are you sure you understand what you are saying.
If you wanted to prove you have no idea what you’re talking about? You just did.
Twitter was not gutted. The fat was trimmed.
I hope twitter f…. this Idiot in a..
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕🔺♥️
✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️
Lol, Apple doesn’t get to make the rules on what is to be considered “moderated” kinda funny how government and the left are not moderated
I don’t think Apple realizes who they messing with. This dude shook up the auto industry, shook up the space industry, shook up the energy industry… Yall don’t think he’ll shake up the phone industry? He can burry Apple if he really wanted to. Apple better chill lol.
This is absolutely insane. Look at all the powers that be, frothing at the mouth to shut down free speech. This is exactly what this is. Essentially nothing has changed on Twitter other than people’s attitude. It’s amazing the power propaganda has over people today. Bunch of brainwashed idiots who think free speech is somehoe dangerous. I guess the EU doesn’t respect human rights.
720p
The EU is like the third Reich 1935 Germany . FASCIST
Elon mixing personal with proffessional. Thats his problem.
his professional IS personal. that’s why we trust him. he is incentivized to do good by having those two things aligned.
@Luke Celenza You are puttin way to mu h trust in a man you know nothing about. Hes so easily offended he bans people who talks bad about him. Even worse than cancel culture.
@ksd sdd well you’re entitled to your opinion but ive never trusted anyone more. I also know quite a lot about him, as much as there is to know, short of knowing him personally. Let’s see how things play out… so far he has always come thru. His goals are always difficult, against the odds, and against the status quo, but they are also always big picture, for the benefit of humanity and progress. If anyone can turn twitter into something better and greater, its him, and the team he surrounds himself with. Just my opinion.
@ksd sdd He actually takes criticism extremely well, and embraces it if its well-founded. He admits when he’s wrong, it’s just rare that he is.
Look at Elon who advertised as working sort of 14/24 326/365 per year still awaken on screen. You know Jeff laughs even louder when he comes across mean or rude interviewers to laugh things off and i wonder whether he forgets after brushing things off. Elon must too had been disgusted at the all male abusive tech office scene although Elon had been laughing and stupid people didn’t realize people may laugh politely when they’re disgusted or angry. Maybe the interviewers also get discriminated and banned from re-entering the USA after digital privacy harm. They all can also burn down the MicrosoftWordProcessorprogramripoff South Korean company named ‘(Haangewl)Korean&Computer’ which oddly committed identity theft on non-tech people such as artists and non-Korean art school dropouts.😃🧚🏾
Hahaha… how could anyone question Elon?
He is on a WOKE exposure expedition… if you don’t see that. TAG, you’re it!!!!
AND THEN , we’ll find out if cow tailing to the Woke is good for business
Again, if your selectively ok with suppression of free speech. ( free as long as you agree) .. Then… TAG , your it!
Elon’s buying Apple next…. 😄
yeah ok
@Mo’Money Investing Are you mad brah….
Maybe he was angry at himself and his account rather than being angry at his birth family. Look at Youtube here too abusing commentors anyway with some Youtube Korean staffs having even got rid of the ‘edit’ menu on users when logged in from more recent phone models’ ip addresses. Why hide Trump’s account from everybody though. When anybody shouldn’t even mention Trump here for his or her own sake and privacy.
“Youtube here too abusing commentors” they’re not abusing you. “more recent phone models’ ip addresses.” That’s not a thing an app can do. You’re going to need to sound less deranged. Apps can’t ban editing via IP.
Websites can ban you from visiting via IP but they can’t ban specific parts of their functionality via IP. You have a phone with a bug. Get some help.
“When anybody shouldn’t even mention Trump here for his or her own sake and privacy.”
Also not a thing the App can do. I suggest you get some help.
I’m also going to report you. That’s not harassment. That’s a function of the app because you’re deranged. That’s my right as a user.
Then I’m going to block you. Also my right as a user.
Do these two dumb yanks also going to say I have no freedom of speech.
Lol. Parler 2.0 on the freedom phone 2.0. Elon is full of win!
Twitter cleansing has begun. The departure of woke radicals who only want their views communicated and who want to censor any other views should be considered a self-liquidating problem. Self-censorship is marching on.

At least Elon was man enough to face Tim in person! 😺
And same for Tim in fairness.
Typical woke liberal marxist media.
Money always wins……to be continued.
Hey @google . How about innovating a Twitter like platform google style?
The EU was fine with Twitter when they banned and shut down peoples right to speech but now they want to ban it. That is why the EU is a corrupt, broken group that has no future!
Yahoo is great propaganda!
Should troll the crap you talk on here
“A company operating there has to abide by the regulations” – We call these regulations law. And yes, American companies actually have to abide by the law in Europe. What a surprise.
“He wants to follow that”, “he agrees to follow that” [law] – Well I guess he does not really have much of a choice if he wants Twitter to operate in the EU. You have to bribe a lot of people in the EU, not just Trump or a senator of your choice. I was waiting for that freedom of speech issue to come up in the context of the EU. I’m also not sure if this arbitrary censorship that Musk is engaging in is going to work in Europe. Users are not the companies property in the EU, whether they pay or not. The EU usually looks away when American companies are concerned, but with all this media spectacle around Twitter, they might not be able to let it go.
Is Elon going to learn 🤔 how deep the rabbit hole goes? If Elon was smart he would be trying to team with Microsoft. Way less shady than Apple.
We the people should boycott apple products
Elon should continue to focus on phone and laptop or tablet advancement and put apple out of business
