Elon Musk | Doer of things on X and sad little man

Because few of them are. Moreover, right wing and Conservative are kind of dirty as well as Liberal, so they need to seem above all that, when in fact they usually aren't

Whether independent thinking is something to strive for is another question. In modern societies most issues tend to be interlinked and it makes sense to largely go along with the same opinions on the political spectrum.

When you go independent you can often end up undermining your views.

That's just my own free independent opinion.

That I agree with but it comes with a complete lack of self awareness. You only need to see the people Elon Musk replies to on his page for suggestions of what to do with Twitter and how they are pretty unashamedly right wing in their views. His follow list is pretty mundane corporate stuff so either he has a burner account or some kind of list where he follows these people because if it were a case of him responding to a viral take there are far more that he ignores that are critical of him than these suck ups who are conveniently pro-Trump nationalistic figures.

I've never seen it happen where somebody who only posts left-wing content and promotes left-wing politicians and only attacks right-wing people turns around and denies being left-wing when asked the way these "independent thinkers" like Elon do telling everyone to vote a certain way.
 
I really dislike Musk, I find him to be on the Bond villain spectrum of billionaires and his erratic behaviour with other people's lives and livelihoods back that for me. I really hope he loses a lot of money due to Twitter and has to sell it back at a fraction of what it cost him.
 
Ridiculous people are giving Musk any credit for that stance. It’s just more evidence of him being devoid of empathy. He’s only capable of seeing the world through his own lived experiences and his only method of critical thought is through the prism of Elon.

Antisemitic Kanye is absolutely fine to return because Musk is not a Jew and does not have any Jewish kin so therefore can not relate, nor does he posses the ability to put himself in Jewish shoes and reflect on how it might feel.

Yep, it might fit in with people who should remain banned but it's 100% about him.

Apple alternative incoming? When's their next event?

Apple are not going to remove Twitter from their App Store just because they are releasing their own equivalent. It would break anti-competition laws and they would be sued to oblivion.

Of course, their key employees would stop using the competition though.

No they wouldn’t, I don’t think any company would expect their employees to delete their private accounts on social media. That’s absurd.

Bouzy is a drama queen.

That said, if Apple started a platform and integrated into the iOS ecosystem, I reckon it would be very popular.

I doubt it.

Apple Maps is now far superior to Google Maps but I never use it. Reason being that I have a few friends that don’t have iPhones and Google Maps is cross platform.

An Apple-locked social media platform feels like a non starter.

I don't use Apple maps at all because its led me astray one too many times. I suspect a social media platform by Apple at a time when people with Musk fatigue are desperately looking for excuses to leave Twitter, would have viability.

It's barely competition for Google Maps

Apple maps is no where near even as accurate as Google Maps to be far superior. It is practically unusable outside US for starters, tried in multiple Asian and a couple of European countries. Even in US, in Sunnyvale CA of all places, my cab driver using Apple Maps could not even navigate me to a prominent hotel and instead took me a mile away to a random location.

Glad I wasn't the only one. :lol:
 
Regarding Apple launching their own version of Twitter. Don't think it makes any business sense to do it even before you get into antitrust issues. Their market cap is in different league to Twitter. Even if latter was to increase its revenue using subscription like service, 30% of it generated via IPhone will go to Apple. So they will get their share of pie anyway.
 
Think @VeevaVee is the only person I know that uses Apple Maps. That should tell you everything you need to know about Apple Maps.
 
Apple maps is absolutely riddled with jokes about rape and pedophilia!
 
Elon will depart Earth to found the first Mars colony in 2027 and come back 15 years later with his red minions army to conquer us. You heard it here first!
 
I do a lot of travelling and Apple maps has never let me do.
I’m actually shocked reading these posts

There's no way that little bitch would risk his life on a space mission. He's here to stay unfortunately to feck this planet up. Good for the Martians though.
