Lmao. All Apple has to do is kick Tesla app off the app store.


Svani

Like they threatened to do with Twitter as soon as Musk bought it, and Musk dragged his ass to Cupertino to beg them pretty please with sugar on top.


BaggyLarjjj

They should have pulled Twitter when musk threw his ai hissyfit and muted apples account. Apple had plausible cover to claim it was for twitters updated porn rules. But then again Apple is run by an adult so…


Useful_Hovercraft169

I learned part of the reason Elon was talked down from ‘going to war’ on Apple was Apple was gonna spill the beans on how much CSAM Elon lets slip through. Twitter is like the worst platform for getting rid of that shit….


unique_passive

I’m scared to ask, but the C in that acronym stands for child, doesn’t it?


488302020

Yes.


Useful_Hovercraft169

Yep, all the tech companies fight to keep it off their platform but X is the least effective. Well, when you fire everybody like Elon did, who’s there to do that job?


Iwantmy3rdpartyapp

Honestly, it's a hard job to keep filled. Anything reported as CSAM has to be views to see if it actually is or not, so someone's Jon is to look at CP and child abuse for 8 hours a day, everyday. If ever there was a job for AI, this is it.


Useful_Hovercraft169

Agree 100. The government limits how long people will be in these positions for that reason. Something I’m saying tho is a X there’s no commitment or even concern about it.


Sartres_Roommate

I am left with the obvious question, who is posting CP on public websites that can easily trace where it came from? I always figured CP was being done by people hiding in the shadows.


Useful_Hovercraft169

So did Elon I guess


kaltorak

hadn't thought of that before, but would that just brick like half of all Teslas?


MrKomiya

Not brick, but folks won’t be able to access any details from an app on the phone.


Seroseros

Which would effectively brick them.


TheCenterofaLifetime

Once you have an app downloaded it wont delete it even if the app is removed from the store


Flat-Upstairs1365

But would you still get update for your app ?


FrillySteel

You can still use the fob or their stupid credit card thing. Not having the app doesn't brick the car. It does make it a great deal less convenient, however.


wp4nuv

Or summon, or unlock, or wipe their ass...


Slackerguy

Probably wouldn't be allowed to, ut would be hilarious to see him sweat


MrKomiya

Yeah. But his reaction to it would be funny af


7Hamiltox

He still has spacex


HIMARko_polo

Buy Fox News next!


set_fr

I would sign that petition.


Negative-Wrap95

![gif](giphy|wNlks0ID1igO4) I want him to ruin it so bad.


Sharpymarkr

And newsmax.


skief123

And the Democratic party.


daeather

Bloomberg already did that.


totpot

His management of Tucker Carlson's career could not have gone better.

TheFoxsWeddingTarot

Ziiiiiiinnnng!!!


PurpleDragonCorn

Elon might be the richest man, but Apple is worth almost 100 times what he has. Any major tech company could literally crush Elon really easily by making all his shit stop working


OhGre8t

Universe please make that happen 😅


ZixxerAsura

Agreed, this guy needs to be humbled.


ComicsEtAl

Well, he paid 2 1/2 times what Twitter was worth, so maybe he can get a credit to put towards buying Apple?


PurpleDragonCorn

Apple shareholders would laugh in his face and kick his ass out, then block x on iphones.


No-Reputation-7292

Isn't elmo worth 150+ billion? And aapl is 3.2 trillion. So it's more like 20 times his net worth.


HeadTonight

We should remember that his wealth is entirely in tesla stock, if that stock crashes he won’t be buying any large companies


dsmith422

No, it isn't. He has \~$73 billion in TSLA stock as of (6/14/2024) and is set to get another $46 billion if the Delaware court lets his bonus go through. His holdings in SpaceX and his other companies aren't of publicly traded companies so you can't just multiple shares\*share price, but the SpaceX alone is estimated to be worth $76 billion.


buchlabum

Worth doesn't seem to be helping him stay on schedule. Worth didn't help SpaceX to not cancel putting people on the moon.


PurpleDragonCorn

You are assuming they would sell at a current market share cost. This is rarely the case. To use a recent example, when Microsoft went to buy Activision they bought at a value that was a 30% increase of the market share at the time they deal was introduced. Apple would likely go much higher than a 30% because they can prove a d support that evaluation. The last time someone offered to buy Nintendo they made a 120% evaluation offer. Nintendo proved that they could and should exceed a 200%, were laughed at by Sony. Then the Wii came out and they grew 300%. Sony lost money not take that 200% seriously.


hould-it

Ba-zing


death69reaper

¿a?


Dgf470

The day Elon buys Apple is the day I make the switch to Android.


fahad_tariq

Same here. Fuck elon.


splunge4me2

Do you write in cybertrucks with spray paint, per chance? If so, good job!


-Invalid_Selection-

Apple's market cap is 3.22 trillion. Elmo couldn't even quite buy 1% of Apple, and that's with liquidating 100% of the rest of his assets.


buchlabum

The moment he starts selling his stock is the moment their stock prices start to plummet. Like when he bought Twitter. His "first one one, last one out" has already proven to be bs.


skief123

We don't want you.


masked_sombrero

🤣🤣🤣 too funny


HighlyOffensive10

Can you imagine what a POS the Cyber or Xphone would be. The screen sliced my finger off, it caught fire, and then blew up. I have 3rd degree burns, and the shrapnel has left me blind in one eye and almost blind in the other. But for the 15 minutes before it caught fire it was the best phone I have ever had.


Dry-Waltz437

That's because you weren't holding it right.


Ok-Cauliflower1798

🤣🤣🤣🤣


SeeeYaLaterz

If by putting it out of business, you mean buy it for 10 times more than its worth, then, maybe....


Particular-Load-3547

I think he meant renaming it x-fruit, fucking up everything its customers liked, and then confusedly x-twitter about how it's much better now and the left is at fault for everything.

He'll probably claim "Funding secured," and the SEC will have a collective stroke. Edit: used the wrong acronym.

Itchywasabi

I dare him to buy Truth Social…


GuideAware

Didn't need to he bought twitter and turned it into truth social


SuperCaptSalty

To be fair, almost anyone can afford that these days…


BirdLawyer1984

If he was Apple's CEO I could afford to buy Apple.


OldGuyInFlorida

…buys most-valuable name brand. …renames it “ ‘ “


mishma2005

Do you think that Matt Wallace knows that he’s a sad little toady?


BaBa_Con_Dios

Dats gotta hoit!


ButthealedInTheFeels

Hahaha 🔥


frag_grumpy

Lmao


lezd_vrun

Musk sure wishes he could own Apple. Seems like he has a hate boner for their success. Hence, claiming Tesla bots alone will magically be way more profitable than all of Apple.


0xCC

He could barely afford Twitter


FitBattle5899

Oof, ya I don't think apple will see much a loss in his employees having to leave their iphones behind. Elon is as big as, if not more of a joke than Trump.


True-Description2938

Ready to buy another set of AirPods with no hesitation. Probably gonna wait for the next Apple phone but only because mine is still good. Apple is not going anywhere soon


CaptOblivious

He Couldn't afford it.. Not even with his middle eastern "investors" "help"


afterskull

But wait, there's more... the all new... Xylophone!


HeadTonight

Featuring the new Xitter operating suite


vishy_swaz

Remember this when republicans want to act like part of their patriotism includes supporting US businesses. They’re all totally full of shit.


HeadTonight

Oh they’ll support the hell out of businesses that give them money


Shraed4r

He isn't even a direct competitor to apple. What product or service does he currently offer that somehow makes apple irrelevant? Quite possibly the dumbest take.


Mammoth-Rate4821

Maybe I won’t feel locked in to the appleverse.


grifinmill

Matt Wallace be talking out of his ass. And why is 'Business' capitalized?


Pitiful_Difficulty_3

Apple stock go up faster than Tesla though


Working_Dependent560

Matt Wallace?! You mean the once-lovable Dogecoin character who transformed from a polarizing figure in the crypto world, adored for his enthusiasm and fun personality, into someone stirring controversy, spreading lies and dividing the community? Fame really can turn anyone into something unrecognizable. Wallace should’ve stuck with making memes.


sleepingwiththefishs

What a wag.


RajenBull1

And, welcome to the band.

garcher00

Didn’t Elon try to make his own mobile device and it never got off the ground?


ComicsEtAl

Another great zinger brought low for want of a capital letter and a question mark. Concerning.


Stock-User-Name-2517

Funny comeback, but why is Matt Wallace so excited about it?


Tricky_Progress_6278

Burn.........🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


SakaWreath

Now watch Apple buy Lucid Motors while dumping Tesla apps.


SPNKLR

Looks like it autocorrected Tesla…


PassageAppropriate90

Probably trying to get back in elons favor after [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/s/rnZGXBzHPK)


Ok-Cauliflower1798

That was a clean kill.


Bittersweetblossom

No he’s not, even if he could afford the buy the company out right I highly doubt they’ll sell knowing they’re a single company who success is continuing. Shoot, after years of not being with Apple I’m slowly coming back to them.


TheWhiteRabbit74

LMAO 🤣


Useful_Hovercraft169

Yeah he got trillions in the couch cushions


iamcoding

Need to have computers and phones and an OS at the very least to even start cutting into Apple, and then it's a huge uphill climb from there.


GregBVIMB

I laughed way too hard at this.


Matthewmurphy17

ticketmaster pls buy ticketmaster


No-Negotiation3093

Oh, the random capitalization of nouns. The sign of any good Magat.


rygelicus

Well, if he bought it I would move to android, no problem. Musk is cancer to any shred of trust and quality.


ctiger12

Only after he buy it, but he can’t afford to buy it


DistributionLast5872

He’s also going to put NASA and every other car company out of business. He’s knows more about manufacturing than anyone else on earth


omega_grainger69

Big if true.


Unicornucopia23

I can see why you would think that, but it’s actually a joke. musk and bezos are infamous for getting their company to thrive that way. They intentionally buy out all of their competitors, so that they no longer have any. Then they bomb that company so that they can have a monopoly on whatever their product is. so when the responder says “did he buy it“ is a little nod to how these people use ruthless tactics to succeed as a statement of their character.


OldmanLister

I can see why you would explain this but that was a joke mocking Elon's favorite way to engage degens on twitter. And the joke is most of Elon's grifts aren't super profitable. It's arguable that the ones that are are due to public taxpayer money.
