The spat between Elon Musk and Apple appears to be over. Elon Musk revealed yesterday that he went to Apple's headquarters and met Apple CEO Tim Cook. The duo was able to resolve the misunderstanding that Apple wanted to remove Twitter from its App Store.
Musk thanks Apple CEO for taking him around Apple's HQ in a short video of a reflecting pool at the center of Apple Park in Cupertino, California.
Musk then went on to address the earlier misunderstanding about Apple's plans to remove Twitter from the App Store.
The meeting between tech leaders marks a significant de-escalation just a few days after Musk went on the offensive against Apple, claiming that the iPhone giant threatened to withhold Twitter from its App Store.
On November 19, Musk complained that the App store fees are obviously too high due to the iOS Android duopoly. Elon Musk said last Friday that he might build an alternative phone if Twitter is removed from Google Play and Apple App Store. Three days later, Musk announced on Twitter that Apple has threatened to withhold Twitter from its App Store, but won't tell us why. It started last week after speculations that Apple and Google were planning to remove Twitter from their app stores after reports that Musk s vision for Twitter 2.0 and the upcoming changes may violate Apple or Google's terms of service.
One user suggested on the social platform that Musk should just build his own phone.
In response to her tweet, Musk stated that he would just make his own phone, and that he hopes it doesn't get to that. I certainly hope it does not come to that, but if there is no other choice, I will make an alternative phone, Musk said.
