Musk spoke on Twitter about the possibility of developing his own phone.
The head of Twitter, Elon Musk, said that he does not exclude the creation of an “alternative phone” if Twitter is removed from the Apple App Store and Google Play.
This comment Musk made in response at the suggestion of one of the users.
“If Apple and Google remove Twitter from their application stores, Elon Musk must make his own smartphone. A person is building rockets to Mars, to make such nonsense as a small smartphone should be a winner for him, right?” she suggested.
If Apple & Google boot Twitter from their applications, @elonmusk should produce his own smartphone. Half the country would happily ditch the biased, snooping iPhone & Android. A man, a builder of the year to Mars, and also a short smartphone should be comfortable, right?
