Chief Executive Officer of Twitter, Elon Musk, has lashed out at Apple for threatening to remove the bird app from its Store.
Musk in a tweet on Monday evening, also accused Apple of cutting back on its advertising on the platform.
Musk’s allegations came amidst social media discussions on the possibility of Apple and Google kicking off Twitter from their app stores over content moderation issues.
“Apple has also threatened to withhold Twitter from its App Store, but won’t tell us why,” the tweet reads.
Musk also replied “yes” to a user question on whether Apple was threatening Twitter’s presence in the App Store or making moderation demands.
“Apple has mostly stopped advertising on Twitter. Do they hate free speech in America?” he tweeted.
He then tagged Tim Cook, Apple’s chief executive officer, asking, “What’s going on here?”
