Guwahati: Twitter CEO Elon Musk accused American tech giant “Apple” of threatening to remove Twitter from its App store without providing a justification in his trademark parody on Monday.
Musk made fun of Apple’s decision in a tweet, writing, “Apple has also threatened to withdraw Twitter from its App Store, but won’t tell us why.”
Ever since he took over the microblogging platform Elon Musk has been attempting to transform Twitter.
According to Musk’s previous week’s announcement, Twitter would no longer boost tweets that contain hate speech or other types of “bad” content.
“New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach,” he wrote in a tweet. Additionally, he stated that hate speech and other “bad” content in tweets will no longer be promoted by Twitter and demonetized.
“New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach.Negative/hate tweets will be max deboosted & demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter. You won’t find the tweet unless you specifically seek it out, which is no different from the rest of the Internet,” he tweeted.
Additionally, he declared that Twitter will be bringing back a number of controversial accounts that had been previously suspended or banned including the account of the late President Donald Trump.
Trump faced legal issues earlier in 2020 because his account was terminated following the Capitol Hill uprising on January 6 following the US Presidential elections.
The world’s richest man has made multiple decisions in this way including one to purchase Twitter; therefore the introduction of this new policy is not shocking.
The Tesla CEO said that by exaggerating the quantity of spam and false bot accounts on its network, Twitter had broken the terms of their mutual purchase agreement.
The US market had a dramatic fall following Musk’s news of the agreement termination. Later, Twitter sued Musk alleging that he had used bots as a cover to back out of a transaction. And most recently, Musk carried out the acquisition of Twitter at the initially agreed-upon price of USD 54.20 per share.
