Apple is getting humiliated in their clash with Twitter. We're going to take a look at the epic battle that's broken out between the two corporate titans, and we're going to analyze the masterful strategy that Elon Musk has employed to crush not just Apple, but the woke left as a whole. You are not going to want to miss this.

Over the weekend, Elon Musk tweeted out that Apple was threatening to remove the Twitter app from Apple's App Store as part of their app review moderation process.

In a series of tweets, Musk claimed that Apple was threatened to withhold Twitter from its App Store, but no reason had been given.

Moreover, he accused Apple of imposing a 30% tax on everything bought through their App Store, and he then ran a poll asking if Apple should publish all censorship actions it's taken that affect its customers.

Musk also claimed that Apple has indeed pulled most of its advertising from Twitter, asking incredulously, does Apple hate free speech in America?

Well, those taunts appear to be damaging Apple. Apple shares continue to plummet as of today. They've been falling now for months. They're down nearly 30% from this time last year, largely because of the zero COVID policies in China that are interrupting their supply chains, but a number of pundits are noticing that what Musk is doing here is some pretty brilliant strategy on this part.

He's luring Apple into a wider conflict with Republicans throughout the nation, very much like he did when he originally sought to purchase Twitter.

He's luring Apple into a clash with Republicans that threatens to result in oversight committee investigations in DC looking into Apple's business practices, and it seems to be working.

Here's how one of the most prominent Republicans in the nation, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, responded to the threat made by Apple against Twitter.

And then when you also hear reports that Apple is threatening to remove Twitter from the app store, because Elon Musk is actually opening it up for free speech and is restoring a lot of accounts that were unfairly and illegitimately suspended for putting out accurate information about COVID.

That's like one of the main things that's being reinstated, so many things these experts were wrong at, and you had people on Twitter that were calling that out, and Twitter, the old regime in Twitter, their response was to try to just suffocate the dissent.

And Elon Musk knows that's not a winning formula, and so he's providing free speech. And so if Apple responds to that by nuking them from the app store, I think that that would be a huge, huge mistake.

And it would be a really raw exercise of monopolistic power that I think would merit a response from the United States Congress.

And so don't be a vassal of the CCP on one hand, and then use your corporate power in the United States on the other to suffocate Americans and try to suppress their right to express themselves.

Brilliant, absolutely, and he's absolutely right about Apple's monopolistic power. Apple, as I'm sure you all know, is one of the titans that stand tall among the giants of Silicon Valley.

They have a monopoly over all app distribution to every single iPhone. Parler, for example, found out the hard way of what happens when you anger the gods of Apple.

And as it turns out, Musk isn't alone in his gripe with Apple. Spotify CEO Daniel Eck excoriated Apple as being widely recognized as a shameless bully.
