In a tweet just published, Elon Musk has just announced that he would design a “alternative telephone” if the relationship between its social network and the App Store were to deteriorate. We know that Twitter is at risk since the platform decided to reduce the size of its moderation team,Phil Schiller even going so far as to deactivate his own profileperhaps to demonstrate his disagreement with this major change.
