Later on Sunday, Musk said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1599205091294052352\">post<\/a>, \u201cJust a note to thank advertisers for returning to Twitter,\u201d which could suggest other companies are also in the process of coming back to the platform after a call for a boycott and public dissociation with Twitter since Musk\u2019s takeover.<\/p>\n<p>Musk\u2019s public spat with Apple began at the end of November when he posted: \u201cApple has mostly stopped advertising on Twitter. Do they hate free speech in America?\u201d adding, \u201cWhat\u2019s going on here @tim_cook?\u201d Following that, Musk tweeted and retweeted several references to Apple\u2019s alleged censorship of apps and hold of the market in which it take 30 percent in commission on its App Store.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cApple has also threatened to withhold Twitter from its App Store, but won\u2019t tell us why,\u201d Musk <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1597300125243944961\">said,<\/a>\u00a0following it <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1597301968208556032\">with<\/a>, \u201cDid you know Apple puts a secret 30% tax on everything you buy through their App Store?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Nov. 25, when political commentator Liz Wheeler <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1596268804413476864\">suggested<\/a> Musk \u201cshould make his own smartphone,\u201d Musk replied, \u201cI certainly hope it does not come to that, but, yes, if there is no other choice, I will make an alternative phone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Dec. 1, Musk said he had visited Apple\u2019s headquarters and chatted with CEO Tim Cook.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGood conversation. Among other things, we resolved the misunderstanding about Twitter potentially being removed from the App Store. Tim was clear that Apple never considered doing so,\u201d Musk <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1598090996281413638\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Naming and Shaming<\/h2>\n<p>Since Musk\u2019s buyout of Twitter, many companies have reportedly been cautious about the direction that the highly influential platform would take, especially since the billionaire advocated for free speech.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past few weeks, Musk has reinstated several formerly banned accounts, including that of former President Donald Trump, investigative journalism group Project Veritas, and Christian satire site The Babylon Bee. The move resulted in backlash from some companies.<\/p>\n<p>While some major brands, including General Mills, General Motors, and United Airlines, publicly announced their ad suspensions on Twitter, others appeared to be \u201cquiet quitting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the situation, Musk <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1588538640401018880\">said:<\/a>\u00a0\u201cTwitter has had a massive drop in revenue, due to activist groups pressuring advertisers, even though nothing has changed with content moderation and we did everything we could to appease the activists. Extremely messed up! They\u2019re trying to destroy free speech in America,\u201d following which, he said he would \u201cthermonuclear name &#038; shame\u201d companies that had quit.<\/p>\n<div class=\"author_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"one_author_block round\">\n<div class=\"top_row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/author-naveen-athrappully\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/NaveenAthrappully.jpg\" alt=\"Naveen Athrappully\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Follow<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Naveen Athrappully is a news reporter covering business and world events at The Epoch Times.\n<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elon Musk has said that Apple has \u201cfully resumed\u201d advertising on Twitter, adding that the tech giant is the largest advertiser on the platform, as tensions appear to be simmering<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1695609,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[547],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1764036","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-bongino-report"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1764036","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1764036"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1764036\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1695609"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1764036"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1764036"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1764036"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
