Elon Musk announced! Will Apple remove Twitter from the App Store?
One of Twitter’s main sources of income is advertising collaborations. However, the company lost most of its advertising deals after it was acquired by Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. After both the attitude of the famous billionaire and the changes made on the platform, giant companies such as T&T, CNN, Dell, DirecTV, HP, Nestle, Coca-Cola, Verizon, Volkswagen and Wells Fargo stopped advertising for Twitter.
A new report released last week revealed that the social media platform has lost half of its top 100 advertisers. These brands spent $2 billion on Twitter ads in 2020 and more than $750 million in 2022. Elon Musk also put Apple on the target right after this report, accusing the company of preparing to remove the platform from the App Store while stopping its ads on Twitter.
After his criticism and accusations against Apple, Musk took a surprise yesterday and showed on Twitter that he was at Apple’s headquarters with Apple CEO Tim Cook. He was also seen praising Apple Park. The businessman shared the words “Thank you for showing me around Apple’s beautiful Headquarters”.
Anyone remotely familiar with the subject understands that Elon Musk’s visit to Apple is related to the claims that Twitter will be removed from the App Store. Already, Musk briefly confirmed this in his post on Twitter and announced that the social media giant will not be removed from Apple’s app store.
Musk’s post includes the following statements;
It was a good conversation. Among other things, we’ve resolved the misunderstanding about Twitter potentially being removed from the App Store. Tim was clear that Apple never intended to do that.
