<p>Twitter CEO Elon Musk signaled Monday that he might be preparing to &#8220;go to war&#8221; with Apple after the company has largely stopped advertising on Twitter and has reportedly threatened to boot the social media platform from its App Store.</p>
<p>Musk specifically called out Apple CEO Tim Cook in a series of tweets where he also raised the issue of censorship.</p>
<p>&#8220;Apple has mostly stopped advertising on Twitter. Do they hate free speech in America?&#8221; Musk asked. &#8220;What’s going on here @tim_cook?&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">What’s going on here <a href="https://twitter.com/tim_cook?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@tim_cook</a>?</p>
<p>&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1597290422375587840?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 28, 2022</a></p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;Apple has also threatened to withhold Twitter from its App Store, but won’t tell us why,&#8221; Musk added.</p>
<p>Musk then posted a poll, which he has used in the past to make decisions about what he will do at the company, asking, &#8220;Apple should publish all censorship actions it has taken that affect its customers[?]&#8221;</p>

<p>Musk highlighted an account that claimed to have been silenced by Apple and asked, &#8220;Who else has Apple censored?&#8221;</p>
<p>Musk also renewed his criticisms of the fees that Apple charges app developers, &#8220;Did you know Apple puts a secret 30% tax on everything you buy through their App Store?&#8221;</p>
<p>Musk stated back in May that &#8220;Apple’s store is like having a 30% tax on the Internet.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Definitely not ok,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Literally 10 times higher than it should be.&#8221;</p>
<p>Musk also shared a meme suggesting he would rather &#8220;Go To War&#8221; with Apple than &#8220;Pay 30%.&#8221;</p>

<p>In 2018, Cook <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-apples-ceo-suggests-its-sin-not-ban-people-ryan-saavedra">said</a> at an event in New York City that tech companies have a moral obligation to ban certain people and certain types of content from social media and technology platforms, going so far as to suggest that not banning them is “a sin.”</p>
<p>“We only have one message for those who seek to push hate, division, and violence: You have no place on our platforms,” Cook said. “You have no home here.”</p>
<p>“If we can’t be clear on moral questions like these, then we’ve got big problems,” Cook continued. “I believe the most sacred thing that each of us is given is our judgment, our morality, our own innate desire to separate right from wrong. Choosing to set that responsibility aside at a moment of trial is a sin.”</p>
<p>Musk <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/musk-to-start-creating-smartphones-if-apple-google-remove-twitter-from-app-stores">said</a> Friday that he would start creating smartphones if <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/apple" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Apple</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/google" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Google</a> remove Twitter from their app stores, which would be highly damaging to Twitter.</p>
<p>Musk’s remarks came in response to a tweet from political commentator Liz Wheeler, who wrote: “If Apple &amp; Google boot Twitter from their app stores, @elonmusk should produce his own smartphone.”</p>
<p>“Half the country would happily ditch the biased, snooping iPhone &amp; Android,” she said. “The man builds rockets to Mars, a silly little smartphone should be easy, right?”</p>
<p>Musk responded, “I certainly hope it does not come to that, but, yes, if there is no other choice, I will make an alternative phone.”</p>
