Musk accused Apple of threatening to remove the Twitter app from the App Store and criticized the company's grip on the store. Musk's tone was different Wednesday. The billionaire met with Tim Cook at Apple's headquarters and had a good discussion. According to Musk, Cook made it clear that Apple didn't want to remove it from its store.
Good conversation. Among other things, we resolved the misunderstanding about Twitter potentially being removed from the App Store. Tim was clear that Apple never considered doing so.

Musk said it was a misunderstanding. The subject of Apple's advertising on Twitter was not mentioned in Musk's speech. Do they dislike free speech in the US?
It's possible Musk didn't mention it because he was preparing for Neuralink news. It's possible that he found out about the Apple ads when he first complained.
Musk said that Apple's 30% take from in-app purchases could prompt him to go to war. In that case, he would have a lot of support from other people.
The European Union is challenging Musk if he isn't facing a conflict with one of the most powerful electronic companies in the world.
The EU commissioner told Musk that he would have to comply with EU laws. European access to the social networking site could be cut off if that's not the case.
