Apple app store fees are a de facto global tax on the Internet. Epic is right.

Musk was given plenty of opportunities to comment on this. He didn’t. This anecdote comes from Musk’s own account of the conversation, according to people who heard the retelling at the time. https://t.co/GRKZRBsaeR

So @tim_cook said he never spoke to @elonmusk, Musk said Cook refused to take the meeting, yet the book says they spoke and had this interaction.

Tim Cook had an idea in 2016: Apple buys Tesla.
— Craig Trudell (@crtrud) July 30, 2021
Elon Musk was interested, but on one condition: “I’m CEO.” Cook thought he meant staying CEO of $TSLA.
No, Musk said, Apple CEO.
“F— you” Cook said, and hung up, according to @timkhiggins's new book. https://t.co/9XL8vFVTNV

There is no way Tim will allow that to happen until he ships the things he worked for a decade on.

There was a point where I requested to meet with Cook to talk about Apple buying Tesla. There were no conditions of acquisition proposed whatsoever.
He refused to meet. Tesla was worth about 6% of today’s value.
Well, @elonmusk not totally wrong ...
