      In 2022…

      Musk launched a provocative Twitter tirade against Apple, and its CEO. Musk claimed that Apple had withdrawn most of its advertising and was threatening to block the platform from its mobile store where iPhone users download apps. Musk said the move was an act to undermine free speech.

      Tim cook invited him to their campus. And let’s just say Musk learned at that moment to stfu.

        musk…said they “resolved the misunderstanding” over Twitter possibly being removed from the App Store. “Tim was clear that Apple never considered doing so,” Musk tweeted.

        Sounds like the other way around to me…

          Yeah I remember reading at the time that they basically kissed and made up; Musk actually interacted with Tim like a human and was snapped out of his weird manic fit, and Tim told him they were still advertising. That’s it.

            Funny how quickly an invitation and a face-to-face meeting can have keyboard warriors on their heels.

            In my head, it was Apple going, “Twitter is a fucking ant in this game and I will curb stomp you. You understand me you little piece of shit?”

              It’s a nice daydream, but almost definitely nothing even close to that happened.
