The billionaire CEO of Twitter and Tesla claimed Apple was putting pressure on Twitter regarding requirements for content moderation. He argued that Apple ought to make public all of its customer-impacting censorship decisions.

Apple has not confirmed the action, but it would not be out of the ordinary given that it regularly enforces its policies and has already deleted apps like Parler and Gab. Apple reinstated Parler in 2021 after the app changed its content and moderation procedures, the businesses claimed at the time. Parler is a favourite among American conservatives.
“Apple has largely stopped running Twitter ads. Do they dislike the freedom of speech in America? “Musk, who last month paid $44 billion to take Twitter private, stated in a tweet.
In a subsequent post, he included Apple CEO Tim Cook’s Twitter handle and questioned, “What’s going on here?”
Requests for comment from Apple did not immediately receive a response.
The up to 30% commission Apple charges software developers for in-app purchases was one of the complaints Musk listed on Twitter. Musk posted a meme implying he was prepared to “go to war” with Apple rather than pay the commission.
