not sure why thats circled thats just the app that it came from not the advertising agreement Apple have. they're not related at all
rainbowdel
Wait, soo isn’t the fact they can choose where to advertise free speech?
Dracology
Hard to believe that apple cares about the brand risk considering the oppressive regimes they are okay seen cozying up to. also slave labor

Elon Musk continues to prove just how special his brand of stupid really is.
covideokilledtheradiostar
It's not that special, though. It's a pretty typical brand a lot of entitled born-rich white asshole CEOs adopt.
cadburyegg
It's all theater. Musk clearly doesn't want 100% free speech. He's creating this train wreck so he can point to it later as justification
cadburyegg
for full-blown authoritarianism and censorship. "The public clearly could not be trusted with this so my company will do it for you."
beesleep
i thought we established that company money is the same as speech? apple choosing where to spend their money would demonstrate said freedom.

Someshithead241
Oh hey, Briaana Wu is still kind of a thing. I thought they disappeared after they went to the UN about mean people in game lobbies
RageMojo
Free speech my ass. What a fucking piece of shit hypocrite.
ihatemyknee
cosonfused
they're still fine with slave labor though
Dracology
and helping the CCP disrupt protests by making it harder for them to use services to stay updated!

go make your own phone tech bro
Mr21782Man
The guy who banned people for impersonating him is confused as to why companies are banning him for being impersonated.
IamnotSpartacuseither
TBF... apple is already associated with slavery, wage control, and worker exploitation...
BlastFX
Ah, Brianna Wu. There's a name I haven't seen in a long time… and hoped to never see again.
rooik14
Honestly good for her not to be dissuaded by death threats & mobs, if anything she's got a decent reason to talk about it.

What do you think you're pointing out here? That's not an ad.
ICannotSanctionURBuffoonery
Maybe you're conflating "Free Speech" with pathetic Apartheid Baby White Grievance fueled Neo Nazi baiting, desperate to fuel your outrage.
RobotOverlordFromTheFuture
Apartheid part isn't true, but otherwise you're on the right track.
ICannotSanctionURBuffoonery
It is, he's just done a good job of obfiscating and confusing the facts. His own family has confirmed though
RobotOverlordFromTheFuture
It's been researched and completely debunked. Elon's father was an anti-apartheid politician, ran for parliament twice. You probably /
RobotOverlordFromTheFuture
didn't waste your time reading through hours of texts figuring this out (one of us did) but yeah. It's proven beyond doubt.
LinesOfCokeWithSnowman
fuckin shut up brianna wu
Efreeti
Why?
LinesOfCokeWithSnowman
because they're not a nice person. whatever message they have is undermined by how much of an arsehole they is.
Efreeti
What makes her an arsehole?
LinesOfCokeWithSnowman
the things they've done in the past
Efreeti
And which things has Brianna Wu done in her past that makes her an arsehole? I don't think this is a difficult question to understand.
rtysiiik1
Quit giving this that attention. Just stop using Twitter and don't put him on imgur
LizardEnterprises
Eh, bad publicity is good, in this case. We need to thoroughly destroy his reputation, and, if possible, the concept of the tech daddy.
torokunai
I reactivated my deleted Twitter account today to look at the trainwreck, started blocking twats, then remembered why I deleted it . . .
LetThemEatPie
Normally I would agree, but for the moment this is letting the advertisers know that the people hate what Elon is doing

Thank you
Canadoug
If he wasn't rich he'd be an incel.
MurialsCourage
He is one. Just a rich incel. With a huge platform.
Shoutrr
he is. he can't keep anyone interest long enough for it to be considered a relationship
ameranthe
Nah, his ex-wife said he didn't get to be a -totally- narcissistic asshole till after the money. It amplified his natural assholishness.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
Wasn't he born into money?
ameranthe
Yes and no. His dad was wealthy but gave Elon, his brother, and his mom almost nothing. They were broke till he sold his first company.
ameranthe
I guess he had some startup capital or something from him, I dunno. I'm not an expert!
ToneLock
Elon would be considered a very intelligent man if he only could keep his mouth shut on public media.
weidermeijer
SO MUCH self-inflicted damage.
doctorbocker
The billionaires that are actually dangerous are the ones you never hear about.
Illumian85
Too many people see what he says and assume that it is too smart for everyone else to understand because he first convinced them he was rich
FloatingOnACloudOfTitties
Family inheritance of apartheid emerald mines will do that…
RobotOverlordFromTheFuture
That story has been debunked.
Dionysus187
Reminds me: "Musk is a stupid person's idea of a smart person" "How can you say he's stupid?" "I didn't, i said you're stupid"
SlasherQuan
Can people start tagging their Twitter/Elon post so I can block those from showing up.
juzt4utube360
Didn't he say Twitter wouldn't show the device the tweet came from anymore? So the purge of "bloatware" wasn't as simple as he thought?
mrthewhitee
He has no idea how to actually do that and conning people into a sub service is more important to him so that's what programmers are doing.
ElaineTheNPC
He's too stupid to know anything about anything.
macthelost
I love those though. Especially the ones that are like, “tweeted from Mitsubishi Smart Toaster”
flarflarf
my impression is that almost all the changes are ios and usa only. If he doesnt see it himself, I dont think elon cares about it.
cosonfused
it takes time to develop/remove those features. if only he had people that could do just that.
OctopusStinkhorn
He fired the person who knew how to code that.
robincaid
When he said he would remove bloatware he was talking about employees paychecks.
Bjokobzen
Elon getting rid of bloatware.
CloseupCaptionReaction
Elon calling out the brands that are abandoning twitter, will definitely help getting them back on board.
PropainAndPropainAccesories
Darkest timeline when we’re universally cheering Apple on for saying no to that man child. Is he actually trying to shame them lmao
kozzillakilla
You’d think after all the women that successfully left him he would know that people won’t come crawling back to a narcissist, even with $$$
RobotOverlordFromTheFuture
It does sound like a mafia tactic. If you don't pay us, I'll single you out and make an example out of you. He's a bully.
ThatShiftyMonkey
Except this does the opposite. He's a failing billionaire publicly asking a successful trillion dollar company why they don't want to
ThatShiftyMonkey
associate with him. If anything, it'll get the ones still with ads on twitter asking themselves if they should follow suit.
RobotOverlordFromTheFuture
Now they have to calculate the additional risk of being singled out by Musk. Seeing how much Twitter can rock the stock prices with a fake/
RobotOverlordFromTheFuture
account, that threat is potentially worth billions. It's high stake poker with a mafia gangster.
metrognome11
Maybe it’s just you Elon, maybe everyone just hates you….
weidermeijer
“Nah… that can’t be it.”
MajMalfunction2
FromTheBeyond
Maybe?
SocietyOfSensation
This comment just made me go from thinking of him as full blown narcissism to thinking it is more borderline personality disorder.
AnAverageBoxEnthusiast
HEYYY!!! his mom said to stop making fun of him
Dalael
Ngl, i went from not caring at all to really disliking the guy.
Richter12x2
Like my dad said on his third marriage, at some point you have to admit it might be you. They've been married 20 years now.
fnoigy
The thing is, his stans are the same way. They're horrible assholes and think everyone hates them for... Other reasons
quade
I dunno, all the check-marked parody accounts seem to love the fuck out of him.
zombiebatman
Yoink. Now I have a blue checkmark
SalmonTheWise
You better not funge it.
