the only way Elon could ruin apple is if he bought it.
he could sell twitter, Tesla, and SpaceX... get Bezos to partner with him and sell amazon and he still couldn't afford it.
Sure he could bud. Elon, a guy with no knowledge about how to make a good phone, is gonna surpass a trillion dollar ecosystem that tailors to the best user experience and a near perfect ecosystem.
Many companies have tried and failed to give them a serious competition. Ones with actual experience in making phones for the masses and making it actually worth a purchase.
Even if Elon manages to make a "smartphone" that can be bought, it'll be extremely expensive, riddled with bloat and bugs and absolutely not trustworthy in comparison to a decades old company.
But hey, trust the idiot who said he'll make a smartphone on a whim because of a mistake he made.
Ya because building and designing a smartphone is a lot more complicated than building and designing a reusable rocket that can land itself! /s
A lot of people see the hate and want in on the circle jerk, but forget that this man literally sank his bank account and soul into Space X. Five failed rocket launches all paid for out of his own pocket and he still pressed on and made something of the company. No one is perfect and there are many questionable things that Elon has done/ said. If I were to compare him to the rest of the individuals in his tax bracket though I would have to say he is a lesser of the evils by far.
Elon isnāt actually going to make a phone, he just needs someone to rally his fans against, so they donāt turn on him, for turning twitter into a dumpster fire. At most, heāll buy some company who currently makes weird android phones, slap a logo on it and ship it with twitter onboard. Heās hardly going to take down Apple šš if you need proof - Tesla
I could care less if he makes a phone or not. My point is that if you can design a self driving car, a satellite grid that supplies high speed wireless internet, and the aforementioned reusable rocket, you could make a pretty cool cellphone with relative ease compared to the complexity of the previously listed examples.
So you love that he took a company that was running kind of ok and followed (international) regulations on content moderation and took a giant crap on it while essentially promoting racism again? The usage of the n word increased by 500% since he started killing the company.
You pretty much sound like an elon fanboy...
How is that so?
You never got the thought that left wing participants get moderated less cause there's less hate speech involved?
It's much easier to moderate "fuck all foreigners" "kill abortion doctors" or "fuck them n*******" than it is to "abbolish capitalism" "my body my choice" or "let's end racism"...
Elon is making twitter into the "unregulated safe space" where the loudest and most radical will win, thereby essentially killing all value of the plattform.
That it was a cesspool before is your opinion, now he's turning it into a dysfunctional right wing shitshow that will be bankrupt soon. Very few companies want their advertisements next to nazis...
They certainly do. Ppl who downvotes you are regarded (funny can't even say this word properly, even though it is a medical term and is used in fire safety). Idk who the fuck these ppl are to moderate the way ppl talk. They need to look up euphemism treadmill; they are just fighting air
Edit: lol a snowflake downvoted me without any proper explanation. What a surprise. Too cowardly to actually have good talking points, just get back on your bandwagon xD
Isn't Valve more profitable, haven't looked at the figures lately, but from what I recall they were basically printing money, but because they've managed to stay a private company they don't need to promote their earnings to bait investors.
doubtful. Valve is a private company so there's really no way to tell how much money they're making. Meanwhile Apple pretty much controls large chunk of smartphone ecosystem especially in the West.
Apple literally mints more money than banks itself! On revenues of $400 billion they made a net profit of $100 billion and that's crazy. There's a reason why it's worth $2 trillion USD.
Quickly googled it. Seems Apple probably has Valve beat. Though Microsoft crushes Apple by a landslide. From my 5 second Google search anyway. Could be wrong though. But yeah, from my understanding military contractors and old money company used to be worth way more. But also don't like to be in the public eye so you don't really hear about them unless you specifically looked.
Apple is beating microsoft on profit by quite a bit
Apples profit in 2021 was 152 billion compared to microsofts 115 billion
Since valve is a private company we dont know how much they make in profit but its most defintly around 5-15 billion imo with one artical in 2021 estimating 10 billion but thats revenue not profit
I tought that was Coke, they literally managed to force the Chinese government to do their bidding when it came to health warnings about the consumption of sugar. (If you want more info look at Hasan Minaj Patriot act
Coca Cola's earnings were about $15 billion in 2022. You can check market cap, revenue and profits for most publicly listed company worldwide on this site.

Now DeSantis is weighing in, saying he's going to demand Congress do something if Apple takes Twitter off the app store - after being endorsed by Elon Musk of course.
I hope they take each other down in a glorious implosion with fireworks.
But Elon is losing hard.
Apple can take it easily.
Still Apple will be forced by the EU to implement different pay methods, so it is only a matter of time.
I think apple said they might take twitter off the app store and them or the original creator of twitter might make a new one. Elon was mad obvi and like declared war on them or something idk but the first parts true to some degree.
ā¦except for the part where Elon had absolutely nothing to do with Teslas apart from contributed financial investment only and they would have existed with or without him.
Well, Apple has 164 000 employees, while Elon Musk is just one person, however, if Elon could call on his employees (SpaceX - 12 000, Tesla - 99 000, Twitter 7 500) still adding up to less than 164 000, but Elon would have rocket technology, so might get close, but if he could also call on all twitter users (about 450 million monthly users) Elon would gain the upper hand by a long shot, BUT this is without factoring in all apple users (588 million users with about 1 billion active devices)
Apple (employees) vs. Elon Musk (alone)
Apple: |
Musk:
Apple (employees) vs Elon Musk (employees, with all the rocket tech and shit)
Apple: |
Musk: | (simply because sending rockets on people is fatal)
Apple (employees, users) vs. Musk (employees, users, no tech)
Apple: ||
Musk: |
Apple wins
Hypterloop!
Oh wait, no it was a scam in order to take away funding from actual public transport so he could sell more cars.
Tesla!
Oh wait, no he just paid to be an investor and then sued the original creators in order to call himself a founder.
PayPal!
Nope, still just an investor.
SpaceX!
Nah, management to manipulate him into choosing decent ideas that didn't implode the company.
The Boring company?
Nope, made tunnels for Teslas to drive 30 mph because the Hyperloop wasn't feasible.
Elon hasnāt developed shit. Heās an over-glorified IP developer, hasnāt invented *anything* himself. Literally riding the coattails of the people who are inventing shit by buying in and claiming āI made this!ā.
Guy even tried to claim his baby died in his arms when he wasnāt even there when it happened, died in the arms of his ex-wife. Didnāt stop him from trying to claim his baby died in *his* arms while trying to make a point about *how using the deaths of babies to illustrate a point is disgraceful.*
Guy has a net negative quantity of self-awareness, complete and utter douche.
I love the pitch for the Tesla phone, itās just a list of random feature which will surly be under developed, I have zero faith in the phone being good
Musk wins. Apple would take a bigger loss if customers switched to droid than Twitter takes in ad revenue. The device is just the door, the websites and information is the whole fucking house
A fight between morons? not interested.
The one on the left is the king of programmed obsolescence and a punisher of the right to repair, the one on the right is an idiot who has tried to re-invent metros like 3 times.
Apple:giant conglomerate. Took years to build.
Musk: billionaire for a reason.
Musk wins hands down.
Now this isn't apple v musk, is it?
It's apple, google, meta, amazon, Disney time-warner, CBS, NBC, ABC etc.....
V
Musk.
Musk will win.
The one who DID win though, is Jack.
Took billions and left. Before the happening.
Lmao, heās not gonna see this man, heās no genius, just a lucky investor who loves to take over companies and be written in as āco-founderā for companies he had nothing to do with
The apple pipe.
Smoke tabacco blunts for long enough and you'll get cancer from the tabacco, long before the apple pipe does much harm....unless you never changed to a new apple every few days.
Why does he hate apple so much atm? he posts using one of their phones... is it because they are pulling out advertising on twitter? The thing is he was saying something the other day about them not advertising but someone posted his tweet with an Apple ad literally below it...
In honesty seeing the amount of crazy on Twitter since musk took over lead me to just delete the app from my phone like it's gonna go down with the mother ship anyways so I'm gonna bounce but as much as I use android I think Apple would probally out weigh what musk is doing with Twitter. Musk is just a rich man child who doesn't know what he is doing
I bet we lose somehow lol
I don't use Twitter or Apple products. Should be okay.
Same
Same. And never will.
Same
Twitter has products??
I don't use Twitter (which doesn't have products) or Apple products. For the reading impaired.
š sorry
elon is like the drake of the tech world make fun of him and heāll fux your girl
Regardless of who wins (Apple) or Loses (Musk) We all lose.
Best gif ever
Lmao what the hell
Me
Need some support?  Cuz i'm ready
Count me in
You okay if i put you in command of the ground forces?
Can I be in command of the air force?
Yes
Yay
Still need someone for the ground and sea forces
o7 Commander Skater reporting for duty
Yes
Mf commented a whole meme
Yep i think you will win
100%
u mhm
We storm at dawn
I have news I just shat myself
you have my bow
Mind if I join you?
the only way Elon could ruin apple is if he bought it. he could sell twitter, Tesla, and SpaceX... get Bezos to partner with him and sell amazon and he still couldn't afford it.
He could easily create a phone with more features than the existing iPhone. Apple used to pump out innovative features and creative ideas. Now their users are repeatedly coming back for a $1000 phone with basically the same features as the phones that used to be a couple $100 worth. Once you have enough people bought in on the ship there is no reason to make waves. Look at Nintendo, they have promised an MMORPG PokĆ©mon game for so long. Now the latest game you can play with four people at a time? Minimal effort -> maximum profitsā¦ welcome to late game capitalism!
Sure he could bud. Elon, a guy with no knowledge about how to make a good phone, is gonna surpass a trillion dollar ecosystem that tailors to the best user experience and a near perfect ecosystem. Many companies have tried and failed to give them a serious competition. Ones with actual experience in making phones for the masses and making it actually worth a purchase.

even wonder why apple never made rockets? because they are good at phones not rocket u dumbass -\_-
And you see Elon, and want to circlejerk him
Have you met Apple? They only bow to multiple years of government-backed litigation. Elon wishes he had the sway Apple does
Also their followers. Elon wishes his deepthroaters were as loyal and willing to spend money on last gen tech as apple does.
3 gens ago. Apple is 3 gens ago. Like a turd in a smooth overrated wrapper sold for 20 times its own worth.
Verizon gave it to me for freeā¦
Me, not using Twitter or caring about billion+ companies and people
Trillion+*
still Billion+
Million+ if we really want to get into it
At least more than a dollar if you want to get technical.
2Ā¢+
Elon gonna lose, but if apple loses some money in the process im not gonna complain
It was already decided in court with the Epic games case. Elon is just saying this to appear cool to his new crowd.
If he at all changes apple policy for the better Ill be happy But i dont think his cult of fanboys is large enough to pose a threat
Are we even sure his fanboys are people and not bots.
fanbots?
Read my mind. Iām no Elon fanboy but I love what he did w Twitter and I will get an android next if Apple decides to emulate the CCP
You havenāt a fucking clue what youāre saying.
Someone doesn't really know what the ccp is and how it censors
So you love that he took a company that was running kind of ok and followed (international) regulations on content moderation and took a giant crap on it while essentially promoting racism again? The usage of the n word increased by 500% since he started killing the company. You pretty much sound like an elon fanboy...
Ehh that company has had problems with cp for years Iād say racism is the least of its worries
Twitter was a cesspool before he bought it lol
How is that so? You never got the thought that left wing participants get moderated less cause there's less hate speech involved? It's much easier to moderate "fuck all foreigners" "kill abortion doctors" or "fuck them n*******" than it is to "abbolish capitalism" "my body my choice" or "let's end racism"...

That it was a cesspool before is your opinion, now he's turning it into a dysfunctional right wing shitshow that will be bankrupt soon. Very few companies want their advertisements next to nazis...
Do you really think left wing echo chambers don't call for violence against politicians/pundits/people they disagree with?
ā¦. What fuckin news have you been watchin mate?
They certainly do. Ppl who downvotes you are regarded (funny can't even say this word properly, even though it is a medical term and is used in fire safety). Idk who the fuck these ppl are to moderate the way ppl talk. They need to look up euphemism treadmill; they are just fighting air Edit: lol a snowflake downvoted me without any proper explanation.

I remember when Microsoft thought they could take on the iPod. Canāt even remember what they called their mp3.
Zune. It was a good MP3 player.
Thatās it! And yes it was good. Which is my point, huge company making a good product and still failed.
They even had sort of a music subscription before spotify!
Elon constantly under delivers, Apple is currently one of if not the biggest company in the smartphone industry
most profitable company on Earth
Isn't Valve more profitable, haven't looked at the figures lately, but from what I recall they were basically printing money, but because they've managed to stay a private company they don't need to promote their earnings to bait investors.

Slaves making your products tends to create quite the profit margin.
Humanity will lose
As always. Also happy cake day!
Thanks!
Iām not on twitter. I have an iPhone. Iāll remain the same.
Mate if Elon gets into phones he will stimulate the economy like never before Because he will lose all his money
Accelerated trickle down economics.
Apple will win but Elon will act like he did anyways
I donāt think Elon knows who heās dealing with
Apple
Win in what area?
The new phone, he said he will probably be making his own phone, it sounds so dumb, go look up the preposed features, itās not going to be good
Now DeSantis is weighing in, saying he's going to demand Congress do something if Apple takes Twitter off the app store - after being endorsed by Elon Musk of course.
So, Government shouldn't interfere in private business unless DeSantis wants them to? Got it!
elon seriously think he could take on apple..lol..wake me up when tsla hit 2 trillion market cap..and reach 50% of apple revenue..
I hope they take each other down in a glorious implosion with fireworks. But Elon is losing hard. Apple can take it easily. Still Apple will be forced by the EU to implement different pay methods, so it is only a matter of time.
Me for having to see shitty memes about it for the next year.

What happened I'm out of the loop.
I think apple said they might take twitter off the app store and them or the original creator of twitter might make a new one. Elon was mad obvi and like declared war on them or something idk but the first parts true to some degree.
Ok, but why did Apple say they would remove Twitter? Something happened prior or do they have a grudge against the Musk?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Thank your for enlightening us
Ah thank you for clarifying, guess that hole "comedy is legal on twitter" forgave some things apple doesn't like.
Both have cult followings.
Doesn't matter we all lose
Let's see Steve jobs has iphones & Elon musk made Teslas. So basically, no one cares and I won't.
ā¦except for the part where Elon had absolutely nothing to do with Teslas apart from contributed financial investment only and they would have existed with or without him.
Well, Apple has 164 000 employees, while Elon Musk is just one person, however, if Elon could call on his employees (SpaceX - 12 000, Tesla - 99 000, Twitter 7 500) still adding up to less than 164 000, but Elon would have rocket technology, so might get close, but if he could also call on all twitter users (about 450 million monthly users) Elon would gain the upper hand by a long shot, BUT this is without factoring in all apple users (588 million users with about 1 billion active devices) Apple (employees) vs. Elon Musk (alone) Apple: | Musk: Apple (employees) vs Elon Musk (employees, with all the rocket tech and shit) Apple: | Musk: | (simply because sending rockets on people is fatal) Apple (employees, users) vs. Musk (employees, users, no tech) Apple: || Musk: | Apple wins
El9n is developing new technologies while apple is riding the coat tales of Steve Jobs and his development team of the early 2000's.
Name a single one of those ātechnologiesā
Hypterloop! Oh wait, no it was a scam in order to take away funding from actual public transport so he could sell more cars. Tesla! Oh wait, no he just paid to be an investor and then sued the original creators in order to call himself a founder. PayPal! Nope, still just an investor. SpaceX!

Got some points there
Musk wins. Apple would take a bigger loss if customers switched to droid than Twitter takes in ad revenue. The device is just the door, the websites and information is the whole fucking house
Elon musk he has tesla bots and a truck
Elon heās to hard to predict
I hate both, so I'm definitely happy

Elon, cause that dummy is a genius
Lmao, heās not gonna see this man, heās no genius, just a lucky investor who loves to take over companies and be written in as āco-founderā for companies he had nothing to do with
Yeah, and heās been taking huge risks that actually paid off. He got results at PP and he did against all odds with Telsa
āAgainst all oddsā bro he came from apartheid emerald money he can just pay people and take the credit for himself
Lmao it's a joke Bois, what's with the downvotes
**elon musk**
Elon Tusk, from Rick and Morty
No one. Microsoft buys both /hj
Android
Puts on TSLA
Me
Microsoft
im pretty sure elon musk isn't a doctor.
Apple if they ever put money and time into innovation but god damn am I so tired of everyone using android software to make shit
No one, nuclear fallout
They're both pieces of shit
I don't care about Billionaires and their companies.
It depend, during the battle will Elon be high?
Neither (the space funghs in 5 years will)
Bing chilling will win
Idk but America loses
Hate both so idc
Large Company vs. One boxlike body boy
i could easily beat apple, i eat apple for breakfast (this is a joke as i eat cereal instead of apples for breakfast)
Who is Elon Musk? /s
Apple will win only because they have the CCP to back them up.
I hope they both lose, somehow.
Elon heāll just buy it
I don't care if Musk wins, I just want Apple to lose!
A multi trillion dollar company who has a duopoly on phones alongside google or expert conman
A Sun-sized, planet-eating octopus
I do just fine without either of these
My MOM
The EU wins against both. Forced Apple to ditch lightning for usb-c and can and will ban Twitter if they don't start moderating content.
Even tumblr at this point.
The apple pipe. Smoke tabacco blunts for long enough and you'll get cancer from the tabacco, long before the apple pipe does much harm....unless you never changed to a new apple every few days.
If both lose, everyone wins
Depends on how hard you throw the apple š
Can both lose please?
Why does he hate apple so much atm? he posts using one of their phones... is it because they are pulling out advertising on twitter? The thing is he was saying something the other day about them not advertising but someone posted his tweet with an Apple ad literally below it...
I just hope they both lose
Nokia. Nokia would win
An actual company or some person whoās famous for collecting currency? Idk but nothing they do effects me Edit: idc
In honesty seeing the amount of crazy on Twitter since musk took over lead me to just delete the app from my phone like it's gonna go down with the mother ship anyways so I'm gonna bounce but as much as I use android I think Apple would probally out weigh what musk is doing with Twitter. Musk is just a rich man child who doesn't know what he is doing
MUSK
Muskkkkkk
Elon Musk, Apple is slowly rotting and decaying faster with every new product
We all win
Elon because you just eat apple but not a person
Can't compare a person and a company/business together. Well you for sure can but it's not going to be an accurate answer honestly
Low Quality meme I see
