Musk is what happens if Trump actually had billions of dollars.
Damn that's accurate.
lol right 😁
Sure.. Let's compare someone with $200+ billion to someone with $3 billion🤣🤣🤣 genius.
Apple is using their free speech to not host a shit App.
Why does Musk hate the free market?
Well Trump believes in Fascism, so they’re a little different…
Musk is transforming before our eyes into a real life Boss Baby
He was always one in private, but I'm glad he decided to make it public so more people know. I know the simps will always love him no matter what, but the business world won't. If he keeps at it, he wont stay the richest man in the world for long.
@@MusaMecanica
Elon zucc and others are down hundreds of billions the world is healing 🥰
Nah, he has always been one.
The problem is that his followers has sheeple mentality, it gets even worse because even those who follow his political beliefs also have this sheeple mentality.
As the USA transforms into China.
Sadly it is true. But, I do believe in the mission of Tesla and Space X. Musk just does not have a disciplined person who can give him frank advice and not get fired. And it does not seem like he keeps anyone like that around in his personal life. The bad thing about this is Musk's childish tantrums will be used to attack Tesla and Space X. I believe that will result net negative affect to most of us will be negative. This whole thing is a debacle.
I'm not good at business or money, but my understanding is that if you want someone to give you money, threatening them (especially with no way to back up said threats) sounds like a really dumb way to go about doing it.
He is the ultimate edgelord after all
One very basic thing about incomes is diverse it. Depending too much on one advertiser, Apple 25%, is too much power hand over.
He def has some resources to back up threats lol.
@@EricTomlinson What resources does Elon have that would mean anything to Apple? I mean, Tesla and Space X mean nothing to them, so the only real threat is to bully them on twitter, which somehow I don't think is going to bother Apple in any significant way.
@@EricTomlinson You're saying that he has enough resources to threaten one of the most powerful (if not the most powerful) tech company in the world? You funny my dude.
"secret tax"?
He sounds like a 7 year old who is shocked that not 100% of the money goes to the farmer if you buy groceries in the store.
It's a big part of Apple's financial statements, it's been subject to court cases and PR campaigns... yeah Elon, we've heard of it.
He sounds like someone who knows his fans are both ignorant and stupid.
Billionaire just found out about profits
Well... If Twitter users are not able to recognise fake accounts (even if Twitter handle is just at the top of every tweet) I wouldn't be surprised if they also don't know what Apple Tax is.
Wouldn't it be better if there was no middleman and people just installed software directly from the developer's website. So screw Apple
Someone needs to mention to Musk that Twiiter needs Apple massively more than Apple needs Twitter.
He has already fired all the independent free speakers from the company. The ones who are left are either helpless immigrants on H1B who can't quit or less likely just fanboys. Who is going to point out that the emperor is naked?
PREACH! Elon is an idiotic business man.
He'd scream at anyone who tried.
Every empire will fall
Naming and shaming companies that stopped their advertisements would be extremely hypocritical for Musk considering he's made it very clear how against cancel culture he is.
No. It's showing their double standards
@@DrJams He did say "would be extremely hypocritical". I think that's fancy language for double standards.
Pretty much, Elon is a prime example of sheeple mentality.
No, it just show us that he's just doing what is convenient
It would show which companies are anti-American and do not deserve to survive.
"I was so turned off by the lack of vowels in their name..." brought to you by TLDRB
Billionaires fighting each other, while we, the peasants, watch the show.
It's entertaining isn't it 😂
Feudal age in a nutshell.
I mean... At least we're less likely to be piked and rot in shit?
Not heaps better, I'll concede, but at least I have a glass of red wine and the shit is hilarious. So... progress??
@@dx3217 except the kings made the peasants fight on their behalf
Who wants some free popcorn? 🍿
Threatening your business partners has never been wise (unless you were a monopoly). Especially when you add the threat to start competing with them directly. Elon has really regressed into a 4-year spoiled brat.
What do u mean he always has been 🤣
@@allliquid6320 Maybe but he hid it better.
I think he always was a man-child, actually. I feel sorry for those kids he clearly doesn't raise.
That's why it's nothing for Apple to threaten to remove Twitter from their monopolistic app store. I don't think you're informed on what happened, just based on your words it's obvious you let other people form your opinion for you. You know WHAT to think(the video you watch just told you), just not HOW to think.
I'd advise you to do your own research and form your own opinions, rather than just watching a video and repeating what the person in the video told you your opinion is.
The scary thing is how many of you there are. I wonder what the root cause of this is, laziness? Indoctrination?
@@McCucumber Yes, even when I watched the video, I thought ("what about the monopoly force of Apple"). I believe only courts would be able to decide if such action were monopolistic if it happened. This is exactly why I added the exception to my comment.
PS. I meant that Elon should not threat Apple as he has no monopoly here. But I was aware that possibly Apple has one and it may be an effective argument in court. But still, threats are not a good solution here. Elon needs lawyers, not twits.
'Free speech is giving me money'
Elon probably
8 dollars per month
Wow. At this rate, it wouldn't surprise me if Elon manages to destroy Twitter before the end of the year.
This comment won’t age well 😂
@@a1asdairpageyou expect twittanic to survive?
We can only hope.
@@a1asdairpage Probably before the end of the year.
Just like he destroyed PayPal, Tesla and SpaceX.
He clearly don't know what he's doing..
Got to love Musk. Sells himself as a libertarian capitalist, bit Tesla wouldn't exist without govt funding.
The car industry in general is a government welfare project.
Correction, NONE of his companies would survive without subsidies. He previously claimed that we should get rid of subsidies completely, as a company that can't run without government support isn't fit to exist. His fans clapped, blissfully unaware of the irony
The entire car industry is one big govt steal from tax payers. But Elon has payed back all financing he got from it.
You are aware that food and energy which we all consume are also subsidized by the government right?
Government funding that also bailed out GM and Chrysler
It seems like to me that Elon has buyers remorse over Twitter, and he’s so stressed out over it, that it comes out like this.
Shhhh don't tell the fan boys

He tried getting out of it and got sued after all. It was either pullout and pay $1 Billion + additional fees of $? Billion, or just buy it.
Cry me a river

That's the most amount of words I've seen someone use just to say "He's an idiot."
I’m here before musk fanboys.
He seems to lack basic understanding of marketing and advertising
@@jtgd I don't know how he made it this far but that's pretty impressive the more I look at how he's acting right now.
@@jtgd ...or a basic understanding how Humans work (to be fair, he admitted on air he is Autistic)
Worth mentioning that a huge amount of App Developers only pay 15%. The 30% kicks in once the gross revenue hits US$1M. That's still a (relatively)low bar to clear, but it actually means that truly bootstrapped apps pay a really low premium for access to one of the best app platforms there is...
Apple is still greedy, don't get me wrong, but this is an... odd battle to fight.
Didn’t know about that but it makes perfect sense to encourage, so to speak, smaller and new developers that have the potential to come up with new successful ideas. As my grandfather taught me, treat the calf well so when it becomes a fat cow you can milk it. 😅
I mean I’d be mad if I had to pay 30%, but again, they’re on the top, so they can do what they want. Getting 70% of the money is better than getting nothing
Let my mobile operator charge 30% for app store.30% is small fee for access to mobile network
The issue is that Apple doesn't allow other app stores on their products. This is different from Android's Google Play that allows alternatives from Samsung's App Store and other smaller players.
@@badluck5647 True. I think that's what Epic brought up because apple essentially has a monopoly on their device.
I love watching narcissists implode when the universe shows it doesn't revolve around them.
Just horrible so many peoples lives are being upended for literally no reason.
You mean lazy people who were doing no work lol? God forbid they have to do some hard work for their six figure salaries
@@Norf.F.C.Zoomer Twitter is a public company that has constantly been losing money. Do you really think it makes sense that the management let thousands of employees slack off for years?
You shouldn't believe in things that make no sense.
It's also dumb to think that the stuff people post on Instagram, about anything, is true.
@@LordMoridin hahaha you just said it yourself, it's been constantly losing money due to wasting it on adult daycare for 6 figure salary whingebuckets.
@@Norf.F.C.Zoomer Let’s hope no one buys the company you work for then requires you to worker harder for the job and salary you signed up for. Only a loser would take the side of a corporation or billionaire over meager employees.
@@Norf.F.C.Zoomer Yeah, sure those Twitter employees are really lazy not wanting to up it again after literlay sleeping in their offices to work 20 hours a day.
They're almost as bad as those Tesla employees how don't like to work without the safety measures legally required in the factories they are working in.
Got get them space Karen😅
This is how you behave when you have more money than sense
omg this is hard, i love it xD
Well that's Elon with $1.50
If they didn't pull their ads, now they will 😂
I actually prefer the slightly less edited more. TLDR Business, while being professional, is a lot more "fun dramatic" then the other channels due to the nature of the content and I think they pair well together.
The hate for Elon is quiet alive in TLDR.
Musk demands that his employees work 50-60 hour weeks in office, but then he spends his entire day playing around on Twitter. Is this what he thinks "work" looks like to his employees?
Elon would never last in a real working enviroment.
News articles kept saying he works like 14 hours a day between SpaceX and Tesla, flying between HQs and leaving last for home. Now it seems clear he was just too sad to leave the work wifi.
@@chinguunerdenebadrakh7022 Whatever. That's just his PR department defending him. He probably has a bed and a PS5 in his office.
Apple: 'We decline your declaration of war.'
😂😂😂
Apple: I'm just going to NOPE out of this. Talk to my army of lawyers, Musk.
Apple: who are you and why are you here?
Reminds me of the time Japan just said nope to Poland's declaration of war in response to Pearl Harbor.
@@chinguunerdenebadrakh7022 was indeed a reference to that :p
Apple can end twitter in seconds, it's not a war, it's a wounded chihuahua barking inside a basking crocodile's mouth.
@@Grauenwolf yeah but 80% of people use twitter on phones, and around half of those are on ios. That's 40% of twitter users, and twitter can't afford to lose that much. If you think they're all going to switch to using it in their Web browsers, you're delusional. By and large, users demand a frictionless experience.
Elon could destroy apple. Make his own phone
@@DrJams LOL I'm guessing you're making a funny, right?
@@kencarpenter1363 What does apple do that Tesla couldn't make themselves?
@@DrJams Jesus Christ his follower's are as dumb as he is. It really makes sense now. Mouth breathers attaching themselves to another mouth breather who's incredibly successful at grifting and lying to people. He's like the paint eater's hero.
Elon is losing it. So sad to see him decay so rapidly and radically.
he was always terrible alot of people just didnt notice it
Is not sad, he always was a disaster of a person and now is just more open about it.
Besser der Korrupten Amerikanischen Meinung zu folgen.
I was once a true believer in Lord Elon, but upon doing even the slightest bit of research, I am now a devout atheist.
I have in the past been impressed with Tesla and spaceX for being innovative and doing things other companies haven't and that gave me an impressive view of Elon but since he has bought Twitter my view of him has tanked big time.
There are also multiple Elon lovers (ie right-wingers) who say they'll boycott Apple
They made these tweets on iphone
Ironically liberal voters earn the most amount of money
A company not showing ads on Twitter is also Free speech. You can't have companies run ads and racists/homophobes/anti-semites run amok at the same time on your website.
These companies don't want screen captures of their brand floating above the psychotic fascist screeching of people like Elon Musk himself or Nick Fuentes or whoever else he decides to platform to trigger the libs this week.
Elon's brand is rapidly cratering I'm starting to think after this Twitter thing he's going to begin to have a Donald Trump like reputation for turning everything he touches to shit
Apple wants to control your political views
Everyone knows dumpster fires are great for brand building, lol
Shan Thankyou I hadn't quite looked it from that perspective 从 m
LBRY is wanna be decentralised RUclips. You could see why there would be concerns with the content on a decentralised network. I'm not entirely sure what kind of moderation is in place on LBRY, but it would definitely not be the same as RUclips or other large players, hence Apple's concern.
Or it could be just another run-by-night ponzi crypto scheme. I'm sure many will jump to argue that a lot of people are involved and that it might change the world. However those people would be more credible if they weren't invested in that system.
Money runs the systems used for hosting huge video libraries, not IOUs.
It's marketings itself on the basis that it's difficult to censor because of its blockchain. So yeah.
But apparently they have some kind of "light moderation".
Still their discounting of LBRY based on that quote alone is leaving me with a bad aftertaste. As far as I've heard that is the best actually applied use of blockchain I've ever seen, and it seems to kind of work.
There's no "algorithm" so no discovery of new stuff, but on the whole it seems to be the closest thing we've got to RUclips
@@9SMTM6 "lbry does to punishing what bitcoin did to money" is the funniest sentence I've heard in days
@@allisongretsinger322 I think autocorrect did something unintended to your answer :P.
Yeah it's a phenomenally bad ad for anyone that's not a hardcore libertary.
Doesn't mean the technology doesn't have merit nor that Apples position in there isn't problematic.
Having to disclose when and why you block applications seems like a legitimate ask of a monopoly, and Apple may lawyer away at it as much as they want, they clearly are a monopoly in their market.
@@9SMTM6 Interesting.
It can be an issue even without the lack of an algorithm. Say you want to share some content that is explicitly hate speech or something that the internet unanimously agrees should be present. One could share this content via say Google Drive (or something similar) but then there is someone with the power to censor it.
With something that is truly decentralised, that entity would not exist.
Personally, I would like to know what keywords Apple asked LBRY to censor? Was it political in nature or something else entirely. I'm not a fan of how LBRY are not providing details.
Apple is usually not the good guy with App Store related incidents, however, I'm leaning towards them until more information on this comes out.
It's entertaining watching Musk and Zuck these days.
If only they didn't crap on other people's lives in the process.
Who's lives?
@@Norf.F.C.Zoomer The thousands who got fired because of incompetent management maybe?
The tens of thousands who use social media to promote their businesses?
Everyone in the world whose lives are worse because of parasitic billionaires hoarding wealth and rigging political systems to make it harder to survive so they can have more money than entire countries?
@@Norf.F.C.Zoomer the people who work of the FB and Twitter
@@BenBlazing99 you mean the lazy ones who were being paid 6 figures to do nothing? Oh no how will the economy cope without them!? Feel so sorry for them...
@@dunadanjsr such typical cringe, we're richer than ever in the modern world and who do you think employs people? Let me guess your plan is make everything state run?...
Apple does indeed have too much power in that chain, but the real problem there is their abuse of copyright law to e.g. lock users into using only their App Store...not that they pick and choose what to carry in it.
“ I don’t think Musk would be a fan of the government stepping in and forcing Apple to spend money on Twitter”
Historically almost every business he’s run has been through government subsidies so I think he’d like that very much
Cook should just say, “Criticism taken. Now pay 30%.”
I imagine Tim Cook got more important matters then saving Musk...
Wait, are you telling me that a shop takes a cut of the money people spend in it? FOR REAL?!
Who would've guessed, what a seret to find out.
When it was confirmed that apple indeed made their old phones worst as soon as a new one hit the market I got furious, I vowed to never use an apple product ever again, and the small petty things don't help, like changing the charger every new model, or being the only one that doesn't use the USB-C.
Although, this time, I'm swallowing my pride and siding with Apple against the space Karen.
Musk - do as I say not as I do
No fan of apple but musk is a whole another level of hatred
Space Karen???
I'm gonna die!
Did I misunderstand “like changing the charger every new model, or being the only one that doesn’t use the USB-C”?
Aren’t those contradictory statements?
I don't think that was ever actually confirmed. What they did do was reduce performance when ur battery started to die, which in general is quite far. You don't know how many normal users of any battery powered product I know will call it a "piece of shit" for it dying at 20% charge. My iphone never does, and it really gets dog slow when you only have 1% left. It makes certain users happier, and I in return can rely on this device to still handle payments even if i forgot to charge it and went to the store anyway.
Midlife crisis at full swing. His money means we have to care about it.
I wouldn't say we have to care. He can burn Twitter to the ground for all I care.
@@somethinglikethat2176 For me for example it was a great resource for my industry folk to chat on.
And its on on all the news so hard to avoidm
Can't get hard anymore 🤣🤣🤣.
@20 Stories Under ahh fair enough. Probably a lot less fun to watch under those circumstances.
So if they stop paying Twitter, Musk threatens to talk about them a lot on Twitter.
Seems a no brainer...no such thing as bad advertising.
😂 Furthermore, just from reading the comments, it looks like a lot of people who are no fans of Apple side with them in this fight.
Musk giving Apple hundreds of millions of free advertising. Stable genius indeed.
@@pansepot1490 I think Elon has a point. Apple are creepy and have too much power.
I havnt bought an apple product for almost 20 years
"specious" is pronounced "spee-shuss".
Great piece though, you're in top form. You can definitely tell you run a business because yeah, ROI and brand integrity.
Even I knew how to pronounce that, and I don’t even have a college education
@@calboy2 The thing about things you'd expect an adult to know is that there are so many of them, nobody can know them all. We all have a handful of words we mispronounce, by definition if we knew we were saying them wrong we'd stop. Nature of the beast.
"Why don't you advertise on my platform?" Then proceeds to show exactly why the advertisers want to stay the hell away
It's like Musk has been caught in an abyss that he has no other choice but to keep digging deeper.
Like Putin he just keeps digging...
I fear my rather expensive investment into a model 3 was the biggest mistake i have ever done.
Elon needs to lay off the coke for a bit.
Only 2 more sleeps to Christmas.
Elon Musk (probably)
It is probobly self sustained in his body now
It's well known that the best way to gain your customers' trust is to go to war with them.
I would be interested in an "apple Cencorship" video - not necessarily because I believe any is happening, but it would be interesting to see/hear about what things apple might not want their brand shared with? I think it would be a neat topic to explore, I'd watch :)
The Apple vs Epic case (appeals are ongoing) is interesting and related to this and among other things involved anti-trust claims.
Straight from China, they literally are working with the government removing any app that the CCP are requesting, also they removed all the vpn apps from the App Store. More on that, recently during the protests in China they did a change where the Personal Hot Spot can only work for 10 minutes

Precedes to upload a video better the 90% of videos
Congrats to you and the channel; you guys are the first professional news channel to dive into the matter, which I was really waiting for
That's a joke.
Totally biased video.
Getting views is more important.
I've heard people say that Twitter actually LOOSES money on Twitter blue, if it's purchased through the Apple app store. Twitter blue removes half of all ads, which, according to some sources, costs Twitter an average of about $6 per person in lost ad revenue, however 70% of $8 is only $5.60.
I'm buying positions in Apple. I do approve and agree with their position toward Twitter, and acknowledgment of the lack of senior leadershipip in Twitter.
Don't, Apple is acting as a monopoly. (they can keep 30% of appstore if they allow app from third party sources) And they have funded Democrats in the past. Now we can finally muster support for anti trust against them. BREAK THE MONOPOLY.
@@jai-kk5uu Rubbish. Apple is an excellent business exercising good governance that cares about the customer at the core of the Apple business and as an investor. That is important. It's about my money, after all.
Reminds me of Cyberpunk 2077 where corporations rather than nations go to war.
elon didn't accuse apple of hating free speech...he just asked a question. ;-) i could do the same
"apple isn't advertising much on twitter"
"do they hate dumpster fires???" 😀
If Apple really wanted to strike back, they could spin up a Mastodon server and offer an easy account to everyone with an iPhone or an iCloud email address.
Some people believe (incorrectly) that Mastodon is harder to use than Twitter. This would sway a lot of them.
The issue with any social media group, be it Twitter or Mastodon, it is actually the moderation/legal/content side that is the most important. Sure there is a certain technical entry requirement but this isn't the critical stumbling block. Even Mastodon is controlled by its many server owners. Apple wouldn't mind the IT overhead but they do NOT want to be a social media company with all the attendant associated drama and effort. Social media companies are closer to a law firm than they are an IT company.
My guess is that Elon knew full well that Twitter doesn't have the resources to stay on the app store, and pulled a Kevin spacey style preventive "you can't fire me, I quit!"
You credit him with too much forethought.
@@pansepot1490 actually it's the kind of shit he already pulled in the past. Like the time he said a smear campaign against him will soon happen after he already knew a piece about his 250k shush money to a stewardess was about to be published.
Imagine being upset about 30% when you make people pay extra money for car features that are already built in.
7:23 Apple is a public company. Private indicates a different ownership structure and responsibilities.
Please consider making a video on Disney and what's going on with them - they removed their CEO on a Sunday and the old one returned, billions of loss, etc. curious things.
They make shitty, overpriced movies with recycled plots while supporting China's genocide of the Uyghurs. The only thing that's "curious" is why they have any revenue at all.
I am not a particular fan of Apple or Microsoft, but I am full in support for Apple here 😛
Musk has the special power of making everyone in his environment way more bearable by his own insufferable character.
Perhaps with a bit of luck all these mega rip off businesses with eat each other and leave people free of their screen addictions.
"Let's them fight"
I'm with musk. Apple in comfort zone too long without significan innovation.
@@Gudang9🤡🤡
great video! appreciate how quickly you’re making up-to-date content
It's incredible how Elon Musk doesn't understand what free speech is. At the same time, banning people for criticizing him too.
if Elmo caught someone spending so much time on social media in one of his companies, he'd fired their ass.
This is marketing
This all reminds me of TV series "The rise and fall of Reginald Perring" Where the boss owner was deliberately trying to destroy his business as he was fed up with money and his life. The only thing in Reginal Perring he only ended up making more money (which made him even sadder) whereas Elon is losing it.
You assume that Musk is aware of his own self sabotage, nothing is EVER his fault and nobody will convince him otherwise
Literally suffering from success. I wish I had that
This somehow feels eerily similar to the fights I had with my friends in teenage years.
Apple private company? Aren't they publicly traded on the stock exchange and disclose their financials?
The Space Karen Chronicles continue…
If you look at Elon Musk's history, he's had feuds with Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg. and Twitter. So I'm more surprised that it took him this long to get into a fight with Apple than him actually doing it.
Now when will he pick a fight with Microsoft?
To show appreciation for the emergency recording I’ve came over to RUclips from Nebula to give it a like and a comment!
Also thank you for what you do
I’m loving the new video formats! With footage sometimes in the background and a slightly more casual script at times :)
This helps, I was very confused by these tweets
I'd watch a video on apple store policies.
Quite ironic that he complains about advertisers leaving the platform when his companies don’t advertise at all… I realize Tesla does not need advertising at the moment, but Apple and most brands do not need Twitter either…
This is going to be an episode of a bug getting introduced to the windscreen of a speeding car.
30% Isn't that abnormal a cut. If you bought goods from a shop, their profit on each item is roughly a third, with another third going to the maker of the goods as their profit and the final third the cost of making the goods and shipping them.
If 10 years ago they set the number to 15% then people would be complaining now that 15% is too high.
30% is/was the industry standard. Some like Epic charge 15%.
Love the correct phrasing at the end there.
"They arent changing their whole structure for f*cking twitter"
🤣🤣
That was my thought exactly from the beginning.
Conspiracy... hes only trying to f*ck up as much as he can here before hes on the first spacex flight to mars to be back with his own species 👽🤣
If he's an alien we might aswell just scrap all that has to do with searching for life out there
Great video, thanks tldr
And when you think things cannot get worst... Musk says... Hold my beer 🍺
If Musky doesn't like how Apple does things then he can just go ahead and buy it like he did with Twitter.
It's a 3 trillion dollar company. No way Musk can afford it.
Just cause he’s the richest man in the world does not mean he’s rich enough to buy one of the biggest companies in the world. Apple is worth far more than Twitter. Also seeing how the Twitter investment went by be concerned about making more acquisitions investments right now.
So essentially he keeps making everything worse.
how? twitter beeing a free speech platform is great, space X saved the tax payers billions, tesla increased rapidly the speed to change to electric cars.. what did he make worse?
... showing all signs of a serious midlife crisis 🤔
Elon Musk complaining that Apple is too technologically controlling is *rich*. Tesla brought the Apple anti-repair stance to cars.
telling his customer "do you hate free speech?" like giving a finger, does he expect them to return? lol.
Personally, I rather see a hastily done, partially unfinished video than a polished video that comes as 'a condiment after the meal' as we would say in Dutch. But so far, TLDR I believe manages to find a good balance and this one is perfectly fine for me too.
I disagree. I started watching, following and enjoying TLDR channels for their unbiased fact-spitting. This feels like it’s full of opinions and assumptions.
@@a1asdairpage My comment is about TLDR balancing well between 'quick but dirty' and 'slow but pretty'. Them being unbiased or not is an entirely different topic.
@@merijnmeulensteen4209 My mistake then, but I still don't feel like this is a balanced fact-based video that I'm used to from TLDR... as a result of it probably being 'quick but dirty'.
The Apple vs Epic case is a... it's what the current Apple vs Musk fight would look like if both parties were grown ups.
Apple isn't even responding so I don't know you mean by if both parties were grown ups. Musk is the one going wild on Twitter.
Nice work 👍
I hope Google and Apple remove Twitter from their store
I’m going to tell you the same thing that the media should have learned in 2016: you don’t need to respond to every dumb thing that some billionaire tweets. They’re like Tinkerbell, if you stop paying attention they’ll go away.
Its amazing how fast elon can run a huge (anti)social network into the ground
I mean Twitter has just recorded it's highest user number...
@@Norf.F.C.Zoomer Twitters income is advertisers
The amount of users is actually irrelevant - It does not increase the performance of a firefighter if a bunch of people crowd to watch a burning house
@@benjaminmeusburger4254 that's an awful analogy for starters. The value of most of these things is based on potential interaction, for example prime time TV advert slots cost way more than 1am slots becuase more people will watch them. This is the same, just becuase companies are dropping out for ideological reasons doesn't mean others wont see the benefit of being able to advertise to an even bigger audience. As usual with musk it's short term turbulence for long term gain, look at Telsa, or paypals early years vs now. Plus it's now actually being run like a business not an adult daycare center for privileged Californians who can't handle anything outside their safe spaces.
He’s turning it into a conservative fart jar like Parler or Gab. Of course market forces dictated that advertisers remove ad buys.
@@Norf.F.C.Zoomer a lot of that increase in "active users" is people tuning in to see it burn to the ground.
Love your transparent approach regarding profits, and your honesty regarding your videos, channels, etc. Y'all are the only news I trust-- even if you are still a bit bias ;)
Can we appreciate the speed of the news by TLDRNews.
Very fun and interesting to have tldr on the ball of this little disaster, and yes, it would be interesting to hear more about Apple's situation in general. Not time-critical, but interesting in the general business knowledge sense.
Can someone count how many times he said "it's a private company" ?
It's not even true, Apple is a public company. This guy probably never heard of the stock market
@@inversebrah exactly i've been trying to figure out if i had missed something or if he meant twitter or if i ended up in a different dimension where apple was private but thanks for reality check guys
@@inversebrah They probably mean private in the sense that it is a non-government entity; but yeah it got confusing
@@inversebrah its true in a freeze peach context
6:40 to answer your question - if an online social media service does not have certain levels of safeguards or can not answer questions from Apple then the app gets pulled from the app store - a number of Alt-right apps have been removed due to their lack of moderation and safeguarding some have returned after changes.
Apple & Google take 15% cut on subscription, the 30% cut for in-app purchases & app store purchases. Now that's still bad imo, but if it Elon's businesses I don't give a f.
Musk = the orange in disguise
I wish Musk was actually like Trump, but the only overlap is the rabit tweeting, Musk is pretty middling in terms of politics
An alternative could be that many platforms get declared "common carriers" (under US law). That's more relevant to Facebook, RUclips, ect. but that and the anti-trust cases could worry Apple and Google.
Exactly. I'm so sick and tired of people pretending that common carrier doctrine doesn't exist.
That could work but it's fairly fragile as the FCC debacle re Net neutrality showed.
I gotta say, this is probably my favourite hard fork of the TLDR channel
Im very intersted on those companies that "claim" that apple has blocked or stiffled them
I think Musk believes if he can win a major name and shame game, other companies will be feared into submission.
So in his maniacal beliefs he picked a fight with the biggest guy around. He misjudged the situation, his own abilities and the abilities of Twitter.
50yo man who's lived his whole life with power over everyone else panics and throws a hissy fit after finally having his position so completely threatened
i love to see it 🍿
I would love to be a fly on the wall and observe exactly what causes the world's richest man to go absolutely batshit crazy once every 4 - 6 hours.
Well iam pretty certain he got into some bad enviroment, like children at school suddenly they stick around with some pretty shitty shits... but ppl that probobly approves of his behavior
They got him to laugh and enjoy himself, he payed all their expenses...
And he got pulled into their media sphere and now belives human will devolve into rats unless conspiracies are considered ''alt-facts'' aswell
I have heard that advertisers are also having difficulty accessing analytics they use to evaluate ads, so they have no way of assessing if their ad spend is worth the investment. Which is another reason not to run ads on twitter.
Man child Elon at it again, lol
Damn. Elon Musk is like the new Donald Trump. Anything he says gets a freaking media frenzy going. Lol
Technically, you can always load any website, portal, storefront via the browser app. No app from the store? HTTPS from the browser!
Major mistake here - Apple is not a private company, it is public.
Private companies are not traded on stock exchanges because they don’t issue shares.
The “private company” argument is often used to justify “censorship” but the thing is, censorship is completely legal even given the “free speech” argument for any platform except the government.
Other than that, I generally agree with your video. Apologies for being pedantic but those are very important legal, financial, and political concepts.
