There is a containment thread for the Babylon Bee crap. Let's just remember that Musk is more deeply involved in suppressing free speech in China then Apple ever has been. Of course even Musk's claims regarding Apple advertising have been proven to be false, Apple Spent $84,000 on Twitter Ads the Same Day Elon Tweeted It 'Mostly Stopped' Advertising There, New Data Shows.However Musk probably has no clue about how much each advertiser is spending on Twitter because he fundamentally has no advertising analytics staff left -- at this point the platform is unable to track audiences and brand safety.
Here is the actual recent news regarding Musk and Apple. Today Musk traveled to Apple's Headquarters to kiss Tim Cook's rear.

Twitter owner Elon Musk said he went to Apple’s headquarters and met with Apple CEO Tim Cook in tweets on Wednesday.
The meeting marks a significant de-escalation days after Musk went on a tweet storm accusing Apple of threatening
to pull the Twitter app from the App Store and posted then deleted a meme that suggested he would rather “go to war” than pay Apple’s 30% platform fees.
“Good conversation. Among other things, we resolved the misunderstanding about Twitter potentially being removed from the App Store,” Musk tweeted. “Tim was clear that Apple never considered doing so.”
In another tweet, Musk posted a short video of a reflecting pool at the center of Apple Park in Cupertino, California.
On Monday, Musk posted several tweets criticizing Apple and arguing that its App Store moderation policies were against the spirit of free speech, a complaint subsequently echoed
by Republican lawmakers. Over the weekend, he mused
that he may make his own smartphone.
Musk also chafed against Apple’s fees, which take between 15% and 30% of digital sales through apps on iPhones. Apple stands to make money from Twitter if Musk succeeds in his plan to significantly expand Twitter subscription revenue, and those features are sold through the Twitter iPhone app.
“Did you know Apple puts a secret 30% tax on everything you buy through their App Store?” Musk tweeted on Monday. He also tagged Cook’s Twitter account on Monday and asked what was going on with a potential suspension of the Twitter app.
Apple representatives did not respond to requests for comment.
