Elon Musk said Wednesday he met with Apple CEO Tim Cook at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, just days after the new Twitter owner questioned why Apple’s advertising budget on Twitter had been reduced and revealed that Apple had warned Twitter that its app could be pulled from Apple’s App Store. Both incidents occurred after Musk acquired Twitter and vowed to allow free speech on the previously highly and selectively censored platform.
“Thanks @tim_cook for taking me around Apple’s beautiful HQ,” Mr. Musk wrote on Twitter. “Good 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,” Musk followed up.

Musk’s tweets came just hours after the official Twitter account announced Twitter 2.0 which said that Twitter “continues its diligent work to keep the platform safe from hateful conduct, abusive behavior, and any violation of Twitter’s rules… The team remains strong and well-resourced, and automated detection plays an increasingly important role in eliminating abuse.”
Twitter 2.0:
Same mission.
Faster innovation.
More transparency.https://t.co/mNBerk4vPE— Business (@XBusiness) November 30, 2022

its good they are talking ! Everyone doesn’t have to agree on everything but shutting down speech and communication leads the crazies underground and creates an echo chamber where new ideas are not welcome. It says a lot about both men willingness to meet. Most everyone evolves their position overtime as they think and learn new facts. so even the most outrageous ideas shouldn’t be feared from those grounded in truth and open to debate. Often when you debate ideas with someone it may seem they are closed minded but given time to reflect on new perspectives most people come evolve their beliefs as the the truth and new thoughts grow. Debated and open dialogue isn’t effective changing minds in the moment but rather a great way to plant seeds for future possibilities.
Hope they took a minute to talk about Apple music or CarPlay for Tesla cars ! Twitter is soo boring
For all the Tim Cook apologists….
Elon Musk is the modern day Steve Jobs,
Apple is acting like Microsoft under Cook (look at the Epic Games fiasco).
Nobody thought Nokia or BBerry could be toppled as fast as they were. the only thing that can make Apple the next in line to fail…. Is Tim
Cook’s hypocrisy. People loved apple under Jobs for what it was, Cook thinks it for what it stands for (which is completely different from one country to the next…. Hypocrisy.)
elon is nothing. Not even 1% the human that Steve Job was. You, once again, have no real criticisms of Time Cook, when he’s done nothing but make Apple more successful than its ever been. The most software/hardware ecosystem of products on the planet. But please, go on making a fool of yourself.
Nice to see Elon come pay his respects.
So Mush comes crawling to Apple and begs Tim Cook not to speed up the slow motion train wreck that is his Twitter. What a worthless worm. At the same as purging left wing journalists, he slithers into Cupertino, “nice building you have here” then begs Tim Cook to help him out.
I’ll bet that was a terse meeting followed by a deep clean to erase the stench of hypocrisy.
Gotcha, yer not very brite are yer?
How would you know? You can barely speak English, let alone spell.
It was done as sarcasm due to your low intelligence, but you are too stupid to get it. Thanks for the laugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Car salesman and most-in-debt-person in history for a dumb website” Elon met with an actual successful human being (for probably the first time in his life).
Don’t feel bad about your comment. It is very common for idiots to attempt to insult people far smarter than themselves in an attempt to feel better about their stupidity.
There’s plenty of other things for your to feel bad about yourself.
Knocked-down-a-notch Musk goes to king Cook to grovel and pay obeisance.
