yesterday Elon Musk gave a rare sitdown
interview at a New York Times event
called the deal book Summit which was
hosted by CNBC host it's like the
financial Channel Andrew Ross sorin and
he was pressed about the advertiser
Exodus and his recent trip to Israel
after the latest accusations of him
being anti-semitic because he responded
to a post agreeing that the ADL has been
on the Forefront of pushing anti-his and
his comments will forever be in the Hall
of Fame as perhaps the greatest comments
ever made by the CEO of a media company
when responding to an Advertiser boycott
there's a public perception that that
was part of a apology tour if you will
that this had been said online there was
all of the criticism there was
advertisers leaving we talked to Bob
Iger I hope they
stop I hope they stop don't advertise
you don't want them to advertise no what
do you
mean if somebody's going try to
Blackmail me with advertising blackmail
me with money go f
yourself but go
yourself is that
clear I hope it is hey Bob here in the
audience hey Bob he said meaning Bob
Iger the CEO of Disney because Disney's
one of the major companies along with
apple and just a IBM a whole bunch of
major brand names pulled out in respon
to the latest fake news about Elon and
so obviously he doesn't care now while
this headline does appear as if it would
be satire making a point about elon's
lack of concern about his political
correctness and the effects that it has
on advertisers fleeing the platform as
you now know this is 100% real while
this is hilarious it's obviously not
going to help with Twitter's Revenue
problem they were already poised to lose
75 million dollar and it's also obvious
that he's going to have to transition it
into a subscription based service sooner
rather than later and he's already
started doing that by charging people to
get verified there's a secondary tier
which blocks all advertisements from
users so when you're scrolling through
you don't have to see all those annoying
ads there's also a third tier recently
that gives users access to grock which
is basically Twitter's chat GPT which
can generate all sorts of text I'm sure
they're going to launch one that also
generates images as well and that's just
what he's going to have to do HBO
started as the first subscription-based
cable channel back in 1972 believe it or
not and that way they don't have to
worry about Advertiser boycotts somebody
doesn't like what they see then they
just don't subscribe but Twitter's got
another problem a big problem because
even if they're able to financially
sustain the platform as a subscription
service without any ads they still rely
on the Apple App Store store now the
Android App Store you could still
sideload apps that are not in the actual
App Store but Apple uses what they call
a Walled Garden and if an app is banned
from the Apple App Store you can't just
go and download it from the website onto
your phone like you can an Android app
and Elon faces the very real possibility
of having Twitter X banned from the App
Store especially within the next year as
the 2024 election approaches the heat is
only going to come down on him even more
and so I would give it a high
probability that the app is actually
banned from the App Store but fear not
Twitter users and Free Speech Advocates
gab was banned from the App Stores many
years ago I think in 2016 or
2017 but you could still use it
basically as an app on an iPhone by
opening it in the Safari browser and
then just saving the website to your
home screen there's a function to do
that and then if functions basically
like an app it might not function quite
as fast as an app but you still can use
it and it's still very functionable
minus the push notifications which you
don't need anyway the only reason you
need a push notification on your phone
is really for text messages or emails
you don't need push notifications every
time somebody is liking replying to a
post that you made on social media and
this is also how I'm able to stream
Infowars and watch Alex Jones Show
because they banned the inforce app so
you just go to infor.com and then you
save to home screen and then you could
just open it up and stream Alex Jones
Show that way so that's what elon's
probably going to have to do I hope he
knows this he may not know this he may
be so arrogant and juggling so many
different things managing Tesla and
Twitter and SpaceX and the boring
company he may not really grasp what it
is that they're planning to do to him
and his platform I posted this on
Twitter in April of
2022 over a year and a half ago as soon
as Elon started discussing or went into
talks to buy the platform saying I don't
think Elon knows how much wickedness is
going to come his way to try to derail
his plans for this platform his other
companies and his life just like Donald
Trump but now he's starting to see that
Twitter also faces the real possibility
of going bankrupt now that doesn't mean
that it may be shut down it would
hopefully just be a reorganization they
would just write off a bunch of debt or
you know Screw a bunch of uh vendors but
maybe the platform would still be able
to be operative but who knows a judge
overseeing the bankruptcy may try to
force the sale and then just turn it
over to somebody like Mark Zuckerberg
who's going to turn it into an ordinary
big Tech platform that bans you know
most reasonable discussions and
criticism about certain groups of people
people and facts and opinions and jokes
and bring us right back to where we
started no no actually what what this
advertising boycott is uh is is going to
do it's going to kill the
company and do you think that the I but
and the whole world will know that those
advertisers killed the company and we
will document it in great
detail but there are those advertisers I
imagine are going to say they're going
to say we can kill the company oh yeah
they're going to say tell to Earth but
they're going to say that they're tell
it to Earth he said say Elon that you
killed the company because you said
these things no it was actually leftist
activist group it was Marxist groups
that oppose free speech that harassed
advertisers into fleeing based off of
fake news and smearing people like Elon
Musk and nitpicking a couple isolated
posts that nobody sees other than Media
Matters who they they gained to show an
advertisement next to and let's be real
many of the advertisers that are left on
Twitter are garbage and that's actually
putting it lightly I would call them
scams many of them are getting Community
noted which is the crowdsourced
factchecking because they are deceptive
or scams like this oh play one hour you
get $100 download now it's just amazing
that they're actually allowing
advertisements like this to even be
placed on the site that's how desperate
they are are for money here's another
one for a video game that has a
community note that says the game
doesn't even look like this this is an
animation to trick you into downloading
it so Twitter is in big trouble I don't
want to say that Elon got in over his
head I'm certainly not an Elon fan boy
who just thinks he's the most brilliant
man in America because he's made some
terrible decisions regarding the
platform already I won't rehash those
but I got to give him credit where
credits due but as a media analyst and a
Critic
got to call him out on his BS as well
like not allowing Alex Jones back on the
platform and speaking of advertisers you
