Elon Musk says he will make an alternative phone if Apple, Google ban Twitter

[Doc Dutch]

Congress has no authority here.

Both you and Elon may find out why you're wrong.

I have no problem watching that douchebag Musk blow all of his money on hairbrained ideas.

I have no problem watching you lose your shit over musk. Lmfo. Idiot

Lose my shit over Musk? The guy's an innocuous clown.
Just because I may comment on his status as a steaming pile of pigdhit isn't to be interpreted that I give a fat fuck about him.

I wonder what Musk would think about our 12b violation rule here!

[Callinectes]

He could only break into the Android market. Android is open source, so he wouldn't have to worry about the OS, he'd just have to create a different "Playstore" from which to download and store the app. Apple devices will NOT use open-source apps, so I don't know how Elon would break into that market. I don't think iPhone users will give up their phones just to use Twitter.

I’d buy the new iMusk just on general principle.

He doesn't run this site so no one cares what he would think of it. Look twitter was free to limit the speech of it's members and decent people were free to think Twitter was a piece of shit social media platform as a result of that decision. What Twitter showed us was that leftists are incapable of engaging in the arena of ideas.

No Sir! Not at all, Twitter turned into a Bathroom wall by the likes of HATEFUL IDIOTS like you who would scoop out a turd and write their hateful message on the walls with it.

On Friday, Twitter owner Elon Musk, who also is the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, said that if Twitter is removed from app stores owned by Apple and Google, whose phones only use those systems, he would create an alternative phone.

Liz Wheeler wrote, "If Apple & Google boot Twitter from their app stores, @elonmusk should produce his own smartphone. Half the country would happily ditch the biased, snooping iPhone & Android. The man builds rockets to Mars, a silly little smartphone should be easy, right?"

Musk replied, "I certainly hope it does not come to that, but, yes, if there is no other choice, I will make an alternative phone."

On Friday, Taylor Lorenz used her latest column in the Washington Post to call for Apple and Google app stores to pull Twitter from their stores. This came after Musk announced that there will be a general amnesty for all banned accounts, following a poll of Twitter users..

Lorenz complains that Musk brought back conservative Christian satire site The Babylon Bee, who was banned by noting that Rachel Levine is a biological male. After Time Magazine awarded Levine "woman of the year," The Babylon Bee awarded Levine "man of the year."

On November 18, Musk noted how Apple and Google through their vertical integration have a duopoly on the market and wrote, "App store fees are obviously too high due to the iOS/Android duopoly. It is a hidden 30 percent tax on the Internet."

Musk followed up and tagged the antitrust division in the Department of Justice.

Twitter should have banned Time magazine for misinformation.

It is amusing isn't it.

Why does "quickly" matter?

The hypothetical situation he suggests is that Twitter is cut off from its customers. That means zero income, and customers making new lives on other platforms. Musk has huge debts, and huge expenses.

Let's say it takes 10 years (the opposite of quick). That would leave Musk spending $50 to $100 billion of his own money to keep things going. At the end of that, he would be left trying to remind people of that app they used 10 years ago, but have not thought of since. In theory, people would have found better apps by then, or at least apps that their social network uses. There would be no way to make it work.

At this point I doubt building a phone is a difficult process.

Then you are a fool. Making an entire smart phone, from scratch, avoiding patents and copyrights, is very difficult. It is what we used to consider a supercomputer that fits in a pocket. The software alone is like writing a million books with no spelling, grammar, or plot mistakes.

He doesn't have to create an OS. A variety of them are already available.

You're just a very sick, very evil harasser now. That's all you are.

Yes, you should go snipe hunting with Elon. It'll yield the same result. Snipes, like "iMusks" will never exist.

Linux has the largest 'ecosystem' (downloadable software) of all. Musk phones would probably be open Linux phones. There is already a project developing phones along these lines.

The project is called Android.

Android is a mobile operating system based on a modified version of the Linux kernel and other open-source software
