Musk’s secret meeting at Apple headquarters. The billionaire doesn’t want war. “We cleared up the misunderstanding”

Elon Musk visited Apple headquarters. He also had a secret meeting with Tim Cook (CEO of Apple), which apparently resolved the dispute between the billionaire and his Twitter and the iPhone manufacturer.

The end of the war with Apple? Elon Musk visited the company’s headquarters

Elon Musk’s visit to Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino (near San Francisco, where Twitter is headquartered) was supposed to take place on Wednesday, just after a series of tweets by the billionaire beating the American company. Musk visited Apple Park, which of course he announced on the social networking site. He tweeted a short video and thanked Cook for showing him around the headquarters, which he called “beautiful.”

However, the American media report that the visit to Apple Park did not end there. Elon Musk was also supposed to have a secret meeting with the president of the company from Cupertino, but initially neither party revealed what the two men were talking about. It was only after several hours that Musk opened the veil of secrecy.

The billionaire admitted that he actually spoke with Cook, and one of the topics was a “misunderstanding” about the potential removal of Twitter from the App Store (which was previously feared by Musk). The Twitter owner added that Cook made it clear that Apple had no plans to remove the social networking site from the iPhone app store.

Successful conversation. Among other things, we cleared up a misunderstanding regarding the potential removal of Twitter from the App Store. Tim made it clear that Apple never considered it

Musk wrote.

Did Musk go to Cupertino just to hear those words? Certainly not. By his own admission, it was just one of many topics of conversation. What else was discussed with Cook is not known. sought comment on the matter, but Apple declined to speak, and Musk ignored the request.

There are many indications, however, that the war of the richest man in the world with Apple has been averted. Elon Musk has stopped complaining about the company on Twitter. In addition, he deleted some of his earlier tweets.

Elon Musk accused Apple of “hating free speech”

Earlier this week, Musk bragged to the world what he thought about Apple in a series of tweets. It started with the news that Apple has almost given up buying ads on Twitter. This is quite a common move among advertisers recently. Since the takeover of the site by Musk, there is a lot of mess and uncertainty about the future of the portal. It is fueled by the billionaire himself, still causing more controversy.

Some large corporations – not wanting to be associated with the eccentric Musk – decided to refrain from buying ads or abandon cooperation with Twitter altogether. And Apple is one of the companies that has always tried to stay away from any controversy. The move by Apple, however, did not appeal to the billionaire, who immediately accused Apple of disrespecting freedom of speech.

“Apple has mostly stopped advertising on Twitter. Do they hate free speech in America?” After a while, he asked “what’s going on?”, tagging Tim Cook’s profile.

Then Musk accused Apple that the company tends to censor applications available in the App Store and uses its monopoly position. He also did a survey asking if Apple “should report all censorship activities it takes” and announced that Apple had threatened to ban the Twitter app from the App Store. He also warned that Tesla might launch its own smartphone to compete with the iPhone (but I don’t think anyone took that seriously).

Apple has also threatened to withhold access to Twitter from its App Store, but won’t tell us why

Musk wrote.

Moments later, Musk apparently found out that Apple imposes a 30 percent commission on earnings generated by apps available on the App Store. Musk described it as “mysterious”, but that Apple has such a policy has never been a secret. In recent years, the “Apple tax” has been loud in the media, among others

Interestingly, the head of Twitter received words of support from well-known people associated with the technology industry. Musk has supported Reed Hastings, CEO of Netflix, and Mark Zuckerberg (CEO of Facebook), that “most of the profits in the mobile ecosystem go to Apple”. Daniel Ek (CEO of Spotify) and several others also joined the criticism of Apple.

Apparently, however, the one who started criticizing Apple’s (known for years) practices has just come to terms with the Cupertino company. One meeting with her boss was enough.
