So you agree with me that this is propaganda by Musk.

Btw, don’t fall for Musk’s half lies. The reason they threaten to remove the Twitter App is because Twitter doesn’t want to pay the 30% App Store fee on the $8 they charge for the blue mark.

Like it or not, it’s standard Apple practice.

I neither agree or disagree as I'm in no position to know if Musk if lying about Apple's threats. I trust Musk exactly as much as I trust Apple or any other big corporation - not at all. However, as an older person who remembers the Microsoft/Netscape episode, I do believe that companies with massive market shares like Apple should be prevented from using their monopolistic power to shut out competitors. This isn't limited to tech (a perfect example being Ticketmaster).
