Question is why does @elonmusk hate capitalism?!
 
Qué buen vendedor que era Jobs...
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
Oh no! Did Steve Jobs spoil elons spoiler alert 15 years ago?
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
He is appealing to the same mental giants who believe Trump's constant bullshit. It doesn't matter if it's true or not.
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
Jeez. It looks like we are going to be fact-checking this guy as often as the Orange former president tweeter.
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
Thank you! I support Private Companies. This faux attack as a “secret tax” is a farce. It’s not a TAX it’s a SERVICE FEE that is upfront in the TOS. Don’t undermine yourself @elonmusk
 
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
As a commentator on politics, you should know the difference between tax and price. that only the state imposes taxes, while companies charge for their services.
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
And relative to others, Apple have done a pretty good job at QA for their App Store. Could be better, imo but it’s not a dumpster fire like the rest.

It’s almost as if you’re intentionally making a fool out of yourself Elon
 
App Storeが発表された当時は、開発者の利益7割でAppleが世界中の市場にアプリの販売や支払い管理を全てやってくれる上、毎月売上が入って来るという最強の存在だったのだけど、最近30%の手数料は高いと言う文句が目立つ🤷‍♂️

It’s never been a secret tax. I know very little about tech, but I know about this. It makes sense to me why doesn’t make sense to you.
 
That "tax" language is consistent with all the "free speech" misinterpretations. #Sinkman must have had someone else take his citizenship test for him.

On April 14, 2022, Elon said he wanted to buy @Twitter at $44B All giddy & excited & forceful,threaten to take it to shareholders if not accepted. On April 25, 2022 Twitter Board accepted the offer.A week later,Elon complained about everything Twitter.-- Hmmm... Sounded familiar?

The left protecting their two favorite things: Taxes and Apple
 
2008 is when the AppStore went live and we still haven’t seen this type of innovation happen in healthcare for digital health tools.
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
Chill out “secret” agent man. everyone here was 21 when that came out. We deserved a reminder of what we agreed to with iphone 2 now that we’re agreeing to hundreds of electric agreements for iPhone 14.
 
In reply to @elonmusk
Everybody using the App Store knows this. It’s not a tax. It’s a fee users voluntarily agree to. twitter.com/briantylercohe…
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
So “secret” Steve job himself announced it lol.

I mean, is like he literally lives on another planet... Mars perhaps? 😂 pic.twitter.com/Hf75PUSdmb
 
By calling this a "secret" tax @elonmusk has knowingly spread misinformation.
 
In reply to @elonmusk
@elonmusk thinks this is a spoiler, but we all knew back in 2008. Funny how he’s using twitter for misinformation. I guess that’s what 44 billion gets you.
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
Sounds like someone is looking at libel.

Steve Jobs anunciándolo en una presentación…
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
There is the receipt. Onto the next.
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
So you ok with Apple taking 30% of revenue from app developers? Don’t think Apple needs you defending them. Didn’t know liberals suddenly loves big tech like Apple? What happened?
 
 
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
He charges +10k for an “autopilot” that could kill you, but is complaining about fees.
 
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
This is a video from 15 years ago when the App Store consisted of “fart apps”. Now the app-store is a monopoly,I risolto has been prosecuted for less then that during desktop era.
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
In offline retail, this is popularly called "rent."
 
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
"We keep 30% to pay for the app store." "There are no hosting fees." Isn't the app store where the apps are hosted? What am I missing?
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
Yeah, but secretly announced.
 
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
There is no reason to defend Apple’s anticompetitive business practices because you dislike Elon. You can dislike them both at the same time, like only one or like them both at the same time depending on the issues being discussed. Apple’s policies have become a monopoly.
 
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
Why about users after 2008?! They’re just supposed to know this stuff? Clearly @Apple is intentional on burying this information.
 
 
 
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
Get out of here with your facts. These conversations should be all about feelings.
 
 
 
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
How does this compare to Android’s App Store?
 
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
Oh damn 30% of 8 bucks
 
 
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
It’s a pretty damn steep fee
 
Doesn't sound like a secret to me.
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
The Chinese people thank you Tyler 🙏🏽
 
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
Right?! Welcome to app development!
 
 
 
 
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
So weird!! This app muted you!! Just unmuted
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
Super secret Apple tax...
 
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
Youtube does the same
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
 
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
SHH! It's a secret! You're not supposed to discuss it!
 
BTC... SERIOUSLY... YOU'RE THE BEST! WITH BROTHERS LIKE YOU FIGHTING FOR AN AMERICAN DEMOCRACY THAT IS ENVIED AROUND THE PLANET, FUCK ASSES LIKE DRUMPF AND THE REST OF THE WHACK JOBS WHO AREN'T EVEN GROUNDED IN REALITY DON'T HAVE A CHANCE IN HELL!!! THANK YOU!
 
 
 
In reply to @cobracommandr15
Elon just made up the entire scenario because he knew people would eat it up… There is no secret tax or anything of the like. twitter.com/briantylercohe…
 
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
Maybe advocating for Apple to tax everybody 30% for right to exist is not ur best take
 
 
Elon's just jealous that Apple has a business model that actually brings in revenue.
 
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
maybe apple should charge for people to download Twitter then ????
 
 
 
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
Exceptionalism … isn’t.
 
In reply to @briantylercohen
It's to much Brian. That's why it calls it "secret".
