Elon Musk accuses Apple of threatening to remove Twitter from App Store

Elon Musk has accused Apple of threatening to remove Twitter from its App Store without giving a reason to the social media platform.

Apple has been contacted for comment.

Parler, the rightwing social network being acquired by US rapper Ye, was restored by Apple in 2021 after the app updated its content and moderation practices, the companies said at the time.

Apple spent an estimated $131,600 on Twitter ads between 10 November and 16 November, down from $220,800 between 16 October and 22 October, the week before Musk closed the Twitter deal, according to ad measurement firm Pathmatics.
