    Musk had a walk with Apple’s CEO. I wonder if he promised to keep advertising to appease him? They changed policy and have Musk the first single letter app name.

      At the time, Musk was waging war on multiple fronts. He didnt want to pay Amazon or Google for services. And they warned “Fine, we don’t want to pay for ads.” And now its a very tense Cold War.

      See, Google and Amazon provide Twitter with services that he can bring in-house.

      But Apple brings something more valuable… Apple brings traffic. I’m pretty sure Tim Cook (Tim Apple) literally said that most of Twitter traffic can disappear overnight if he fucks with Apple.

      And Musk bent over.
