Elon Musk says Apple never proposed deleting Twitter from App Store

• Elon Musk says Apple had threatened to remove Twitter from its app store.
• Apple hasn’t given a formal response to Musk’s prior tweets.
• Elon Musk also posted a meme.

Elon Musk tweeted on Wednesday that after speaking with Apple Inc. Chief Executive Tim Cook, the misunderstanding regarding Twitter possibly being removed from the App Store had been cleared up.

Tim Cook, a multibillionaire CEO of Tesla Inc. and Twitter Inc., was clear that Apple never considered doing so, the CEO wrote in a tweet.

In a series of tweets published on Monday, Musk claimed that Apple had threatened to remove Twitter from its app store without providing any explanation. He also claimed that the company had halted advertising on the social media network.

In a subsequent post, he had included Cook’s Twitter handle and questioned, “What’s going on here?”

Requests for comment on Musk’s most recent tweet from Twitter and Apple were not immediately met with a response. Apple hasn’t given a formal response to Musk’s prior tweets.

The up to 30% commission Apple charges software developers for in-app purchases was one of the complaints Musk tweeted about on Monday. Musk posted a meme implying he was prepared to “go to war” with Apple rather than pay the commission.
