The conflict between Apple and Twitter

Earlier this week, Musk accused Apple of threatening to block Twitter from its app store without saying why in a series of tweets that also said the iPhone maker had stopped advertising on the social media platform. Elon wants to know the reason behind this behavior. He finally took a step by tagging Cook’s Twitter Account and asked What is the matter?

Although the reason why Apple took this step is not clear. However, his tweets pointed out that the social media platform’s new moderation policy leaning towards “safeguarding free speech” might be the reason behind this step.

Musk also pointed out that Apple is charging high fees for the in-app purchases of the app. In one of the tweets, he says that Apple takes around 30 percent tax on everything you purchase from the App Store.

If Apple takes the action of removing Twitter from the Apple Store, New users will not b able to download Twitter on their iPhones, and iPads. After this, Twitter’s existing users won’t be able to update the app.

The alleged threat adds to the advertiser pressure, staff departures, and regulatory scrutiny confronting Musk as he seeks to overhaul years of Twitter policies and account suspensions in his quest to push a “free speech” agenda.

As per the reports, In the first quarter, Apple was the top advertiser on Twitter. They used to spend $48 million on ads on Social Media Platforms which is more than 4 percent of Twitter’s revenue that quarter. Musk put pressure on Tim Cook in a series of tweets for pausing that spending.

However, Apple does not respond to the request
