Elon Musk lifts both hands in the air wearing black sunglasses and a black cowboy hat.

It is difficult to keep up with the number of statements made by Musk on the platform. This week alone, Musk got into a public fight with Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of FTX, over whether or not he owned a part of the social network. Musk told people on Friday that he might make an alternative phone to compete with Apple and others.

The tech billionaire made his comments in response to Liz Wheeler, a conservative who was on the OANN show. Wheeler said on Friday that Musk should make his own phone if the two tech giants decide to stop selling the service. Given Musk's commitment to "free speech", as long as it doesn't offend him, it's a hot topic for the future of the app store.

elonmusk should make his own phone if Apple and Google remove it from their app store. Wheeler said on Friday that half of the country would ditch snooping on phones. A man builds rockets to Mars and a silly little phone should be easy to use.

Musk told Wheeler that he would build his own phone if he was banned from the official app stores of Apple and Google. Wheeler started a poll of her own asking people if they would use a tELONphone.

The leading response was "Yes" with 56.2% of the votes cast.

If there is no other option, I will make an alternative phone.

Hate speech, discrimination, harassment, and sexually explicit content are some of the things that can be found in Apple and Google's stores. After the attack on the U.S. Capitol, Parler was kicked off of the app stores by Apple and Google, but it was allowed back after making changes. According to reports, West is in talks to buy Parler.

It is important to remember that Musk says a lot of things that don't actually happen. The deadline for theTesla Semi was three years ago. The Cybertruck didn't turn out to be bulletproof in a demonstration. He couldn't figure out a way to get out of the deal and that's the only reason he owns the social network.

By the time of publication, Apple and Google had not responded to the requests for comment.
