It would appear that Elon Musk made a rather significant mistake.
Musk went bonkers on Apple this week, calling them out for threatening to pull Twitter off the app store.
Well, as it turns out, Musk says it was all just a misunderstanding.
Fired Up!
Musk had us all fired up over this tweet…
Apple has also threatened to withhold Twitter from its App Store, but won’t tell us why

Later, however, Musk stated that he met with Apple CEO Tim Cook.
Even though Apple has reportedly pulled most of its advertising from Twitter, Cook met with Musk to iron things out.
Musk sent out a tweet proclaiming the oops and that the two had kissed and made up…
Good conversation. Among other things, we resolved the misunderstanding about Twitter potentially being removed from the App Store. Tim was clear that Apple never considered doing so.

What remains unclear is if Apple will bring back its advertising spend with Twitter.
Lots of rumors are circulating that Twitter is having a major economic crisis on this front, with revenues plummeting.
To counter concerns, Musk proved that he is, in fact, regulating speech, after suspending Ye’s account.
As much as things change, they stay the same.
We either accept free speech or we don’t, and it seems as though we are getting closer and closer to ending the First Amendment protections as we know them.
You are not supposed to like everything people say, which is the point of free speech in the first place.
I think what Ye said and has been saying is utterly disgusting, but he has the right to say it in this country whether we like it or not.
