However, Tim Cook has now reassured the Twitter boss and indicated that Apple never intended to remove Twitter. “Good conversation. Among other things, we resolved the misunderstanding about Twitter being removed from the App Store. Tim made it clear that Apple never considered that,” writes Musk, who, according to Cook, was given a tour of “Apple’s beautiful headquarters.” The message is accompanied by a short clip of a pond in which the shadows of Musk and Cook are briefly visible.
Earlier this week, Musk accused Apple of censorship and suggested the company “hate free speech.” He also complained that the company would hardly advertise on its platform anymore and denounced the 30 percent commission that companies have to pay Apple on their app revenues as “a secret tax.”
After Musk’s diatribe on Monday, Apple shares fell on the stock market. The company was already plagued by social unrest and corona lockdowns in China.
