[헤럴드경제]Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who bought Twitter, said, “If there is no other option, I will make another smartphone.” In some cases, it attracts attention because it suggests the possibility of making a standalone smartphone.

According to Britain’s Daily Telegraph report on the 26th (local time), Musk posted this on Twitter that day.

Earlier, American conservative influencer Liz Wheeler said, “If Apple and Google pull Twitter out of the App Store, Musk will have to make his own smartphone. Then half the country will buy biased iPhones and phones Android. This is the reply to the post that reads, “I’ll gladly throw it away.

“This guy built a rocket to Mars, and it’s as easy as a silly little smartphone,” Wheeler said.

Regarding the possibility of leaving, Musk replied that he “didn’t want that”, but he did not rule out the possibility of making a smartphone.

These comments came at a time when tensions were building when Musk, who had taken control of Twitter, complained about the 15-30% in-app payment fees charged by Google and Apple in the App Store.

According to CNBC, Musk recently posted on Twitter, saying, “The cost of the app store is set too high because of the iOS and Android monopoly,” and “it’s like a 30% tax hidden on the Internet. “

On the other hand, after Musk’s recent acquisition, many advertisers left Twitter and its stock price plummeted amid constant noise from mass layoffs and a sudden change in internal content management guidelines.

On the 19th, Musk also lifted the permanent suspension sanctions applied to former US President Donald Trump’s account on ‘freedom of expression’ grounds. Former President Trump’s Twitter account was suspended after his supporters rioted at the Capitol in Washington DC on January 6 last year.
