Day after slamming Tim Cook, Twitter boss Musk says all is well on App Store

Not a day goes by without Elon Musk kicking up dust at Twitter. In the latest, Musk revealed that he visited Apple headquarters and was assured by Apple CEO Tim Cook that the iPhone maker is not removing Twitter from its App Store.

More importantly, Musk said that Apple never "considered" such a thing either. 

This confirmation comes after Elon Musk himself announced on Twitter that Apple was "threatening" to remove Twitter from its App Store for not meeting content moderation standards. There were no reports by any other entity claiming the same before Musk's announcement.

Elon Musk had also claimed that Apple has stopped advertising on Twitter.  

Now, some netizens are asking the obvious questions: Did Elon Musk lie about Apple threatening to yank Twitter off App Store?

If true, it wouldn't be surprising, but the question remains: Why?

When Musk made the announcement, some netizens pointed out that Musk may be playing the preemptive game with Apple. That may be, Musk's Twitter had violated Apple App Store's rules. If Apple were to remove Twitter from App Store after his announcement, it would seem more like retaliation rather than Twitter being in violation. 

Coincidentally, Twitter also put out a blog post on November 30, reiterating their safety and content policies and stressing that the platform is safe.
