If Google and Apple decide to take the same unprecedented stance they did against Parler when they kicked the free speech conservative app off their networks, it wouldn’t be the end of the world for Elon Musk’s Twitter.
As a matter of fact, it would most likely be the best thing that could happen to the big tech industry because it would force Elon to build his own cellular network from the ground up, therefore eliminating the needed partnership between both Google and Apple.
As liberals continue to have a panic attack over the fact that free speech and alternative viewpoints are now allowed back on the platform, political pundits can’t help but wonder if it’s just a matter of time before Twitter gets the tyrannical boot from the IOS and Android networks.
Liz Wheeler host of the Liz Wheeler Show raised that very concern, “If Apple & Google boot Twitter from their app stores, @elonmusk should produce his own smartphone. Half the country would happily ditch the biased, snooping iPhone & Android. The man builds rockets to Mars, a silly little smartphone should be easy, right?”
“I certainly hope it does not come to that,” Musk tweeted in reply, “but, yes, if there is no other choice, I will make an alternative phone.”
Liz Wheeler then asked her followers to vote on whether they would switch to an Elon Musk “tELONphone” which garnered 130,161 votes. The final count was 51.2% yes to 48.8% no.
