Holy crap this man has absolutely no sense of reality. “I’ll just make my own smartphone, and my own apps, and my own App Store”. Ask Microsoft how easy that is 😂

Elon Musk to make own phone if Apple boots Twitter from App Store

Elon Musk bought Twitter about one month ago and has made changes to the platform's content moderation. That could run afoul of Apple's rules.

@thelinuxEXP 🤫sheeesh! Don’t tell him! Let him vacuum himself and all his alt-right fanboys into a void!

@gabriel That would be fun to watch, him “working” (forcing people to work extra hard) on a smartphone for it to release to extremely low sales, a miserable app selection, and people not wanting it because it doesn’t do iMessage or doesn’t have Google Maps 😂

@thelinuxEXP @gabriel the nightmare scenario is him deciding to use mobile Linux and tainting it by association. "Oh you run Linux? Isn't that the nazi OS?" :-/

@stuarthoughton @gabriel Yeah that would suck big time. But I don’t see him using anything open, he wouldn’t want to have to share anything

@thelinuxEXP @gabriel True, but using existing products and claiming he invented them is kind of his go-to move!

Good grief, though. Can you imagine how much an originally developed OS would suck given the timescale he would want? Maybe he will just buy PalmOS and try to resurrect that?

@thelinuxEXP @stuarthoughton @gabriel I don't see him doing anything at all. Most of what he says is just to trick investors or scam the government and many people are starting to realize that. Here's a good collection: https://elonmusk.today/
