Twitter CEO Elon Musk said Friday that he will start to create smartphones if Apple and Google remove Twitter from their app stores, a move that would be highly damaging to the social media company.
Musk’s remarks came in response to a tweet from political commentator Liz Wheeler, who wrote: “If Apple & Google boot Twitter from their app stores, @elonmusk should produce his own smartphone.”
“Half the country would happily ditch the biased, snooping iPhone & Android,” she said. “The man builds rockets to Mars, a silly little smartphone should be easy, right?”
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.”

The leading agitators for online censorship insist it's needed to prevent hateful messages from circulating, since those incite rage and violence.
Just go check what they tweet all day. It's a never-ending flow of vicious hatred against their enemies, deliberately inciting rage.
The most-quoted person over the last 48 hours by liberal media outlets demanding more censorship on Twitter - and demanding Google and Apple remove them if they don't obey - is the trans activist @Esqueer_, one of the most relentlessly hateful people on this site. Look at this:
Caraballo is insinuating Mormons and Republicans are likely to produce non-binary mass murderers. Imagine the potential that has to incite violence toward Mormons.
But they think their hatred, their attacks and calumnies, are noble. Hateful insults by The Enlightened are sacred.
Every one of these media liberals demanding censorship to prevent "hatred" against the marginalized regularly spew vile, enraged insult at me, and against so many others. I'm fair game: I sought a public platform.
But they can't be "hateful." Only their political enemies can be.
What these people demand is a caste system: nothing more or less than that.
They demand a system where they are free to spew the most hateful, inciting attacks against whomever they deem their adversaries.
But nobody can criticize them: that's "harassment," incitement, etc.

The establishment media is angry at @elonmusk because:
— Twitter is no longer under the control of the establishment and its activist allies
— He implemented meritocratic policies and fired their friends who “worked” at Twitter
— The public can now openly question the narrative
LOL, Torba had his predictable Tantrum over Musk. The guy who bans people for making legit criticism about site functionality, privacy, etc. of his site, bans people on a whim he doesn't like arbitrarily, and seemingly has endless funds to keep Gab open when Voat failed despite millions of investor infusions (though his parents declared bankruptcy, and the only official cash he got in Scholarships and Grants from Jesuit Colleges and Banks must be long gone).
And his useful idiots (don't even get paid!) and Fedbois and brigading for him.
a government welfare whore, which is what Elon Musk is,
He did develop rockets that land themselves,
and he has created a car company that produces hundreds of thousands of vehicles annually.
He might benefit from some government hand-outs, but it doesn't seem like that is his primary business
By your standards, is there anyone who makes a lot of money who is not a welfare whore and can instead be described as a producer of wealth?
I'd be curios to have more information about Lockheed Martin's rockets that land. I've never heard of them before.
Can you provide some data to support your welfare whore assertion? For example for Tesla and SpaceX, what revenue did they have in 2021 and how much of that was from the government?
Elon reportedly send this mail to Tesla employees:
1) Avoid large meetings
Large meetings waste valuable time & energy
- They discourage debate
- People are more guarded than open
- There’s not enough time for everyone to contribute
Don’t schedule large meetings unless ...
... you’re certain they provide value to everyone
2) Leave a meeting if you’re not contributing
If a meeting doesn’t require your:
- Input
- Value
- Decisions
Your presence is useless.
It’s not rude to leave a meeting.
But it’s rude to waste people’s time.
3) Forget the chain of command
Communicate with colleagues directly.
Not through supervisors or managers.
Fast communicators make fast decisions.
Fast decisions = competitive advantage.
4) Be clear, not clever
Avoid nonsense words and technical jargon.
It slows down communication.
Choose words that are:
- Concise
- To the point
- Easy to understand
Don’t sound smart. Be efficient.
5) Ditch frequent meetings
There’s no better way to waste everyone’s time.
Use meetings to:
- Collaborate
- Attack issues head-on
- Solve urgent problems
But once you resolve the issue, frequent meetings are no longer necessary.
You can resolve most issues without a meeting.
Instead of meetings:
- Send a text
- Send an email
- Communicate on a discord or slack channel
Don’t interrupt your team’s workflow if it’s unnecessary.
6) Use common sense
If a company rule doesn’t:
- Make sense
- Contribute to progress
- Apply to your specific situation
Avoid following the rule with your eyes closed.
Don’t follow rules. Follow principles.
Elon sounds like an excellent boss.
Someone said it's a Diamondback, but I don't see it here:
ELON: TO WAR!!! (With... Apple?!)
