This really depends on what you consider to be right, far right, MAGA etc. What Elon has been saying since he bought Twitter appeals to me because free speech and censorship are really important to me.
If the democratic party was a party in my country, I wouldn't vote for them because they're too far to the right of me. So it's quite possible that there is a vast chunk of people who really are centre or centre left and also agree with what he's saying.
I don't know what painting him as far right really accomplishes.
I'm not sure I buy it. Not a word from Apple about the whole thing. Personally I think this is Musk backtracking on a dumb move with his largest advertiser.
And I don't think we'll hear a word about it from Apple in the future regarding this episode.
Anyone check the EXIF in those photos BTW? NM, they are just screen shots so could be from any time he might have been there.

Tim Cook delicately managing a relationship with a mercurial, thin-skinned billionaire who prefers public fights and fact-free grandstanding. Sounds awfully familiar but I can’t put my finger on it.
Musk actually did go to Tim. Musk did humbly/publicly clear up the misunderstanding and Tim still hasn't said a word. What I find interesting though was you attacking my character but never addressed any of the facts I stated? I guess when folks lack data to support their opinion, they resort to name calling. Childish.
Sounds like you are invested in Elon and you don't like seeing him humbled. Don't worry. Give him a week and he'll be firing randoms and running even more lives. Maybe that will lift your spirits.
Tim Cook is BFF with China where they hate free speech. It all make sense.
Sometimes you've got to meet with idiots, but two days in a row is rough. I wouldn't want his job.
You really are rabidly political if you're talking about there being "data" to support your opinion. Your interpretation is purely speculation.
I never asserted anything that happened. My opinion is only that you have no idea what took place. And you don't.
That is what the left wing is for you. They spread constant misinformation and not a single censorship for it.
Funny, to appeal to the sentiment of foreigners from someone, who regards the US as the default country which doesn't even need to be specified.
Ahem.
Tesla completes production capacity expansion at Shanghai plant
Tesla completed a project to expand production capacity at its Shanghai plant on Monday, according to a statement on a Shanghai government platform for companies' environmental information disclosures.
Elon loves China; perhaps he should change his last name from Musk to Stank Funk.
BL.
"Free speech" as in cancelling an order of a Tesla for a person who dared write something negative on social media.
Indeed. Chinese protestors think different, Apple shuts down Airdrop so that the Chinese government can more easily hammer these Chinese protestors down.
It shows what Apple stands for.
Why did they remove Parler?
Apple
“We have always supported diverse points of view being represented on the App Store, but there is no place on our platform for threats of violence and illegal activity. Parler has not taken adequate measures to address the proliferation of these threats to people’s safety. We have suspended Parler from the App Store until they resolve these issues,”
Google also removed them.
Notwithstanding, Twitter hasn't changed its moderation policy. Apple had no reason to ban them, and they haven’t threatened to and they haven’t done it, so the facts speak for themselves.
remember facts?
If people want to believe Apple threatened to, because of something a person known to lie, intimidate and threaten (Musk), then good luck to them. It just shows how gullible they are, and frankly I feel sorry for them.
Because the truth doesn't matter. It's just power, and any argument that works is a valuable weapon to obtain power.
Talk about distortion field. What reality do you live in? The left wants power and spreads misinformation? Have you looked at the right for example? Victimhood, lies, divisiveness, and fear mongering. Sadly, you seem to live deep in those echo chambers ready to insult anyone that has an opinion that differs from yours. Pray for our planet!
This is my point, you are so political that you're having a conversation with someone who isn't remotely me.
“Update: Musk says that he and Cook resolved a misunderstanding about Twitter potentially being removed from the App Store, which Cook said Apple had not considered.”
See, I was kinda right! Btw, kudos for spotting Tim’s shadow in the vid
. I’m a great admirer of both people. Tim is smart and it wouldn’t surprise me if Tim took the initiative and invited Elon to Apple Park to clear things up and Elon happily accepted. This is imo how grown ups should behave. Great story!
