Musk blames Apple as Twitter coders fall short

Easier than blaming himself

Supreme Twit, Elon [Look at me] Musk is blaming Apple for delays to his revamped Norwegian Blue subscription.

Musk initially insisted that his staff burn all-nighters to get the Blue subscription working by Tuesday, but now it looks like it will be delayed.

Rather than admitting that he set his objectives all wrong and fired staff he needed to keep during his ham-fisted take-over, Musk is blaming the delay on Apple taking a third of his profits if he tries to sell the subscription on its App store.

Over the course of this month, Musk has ramped up his tweets targeting Apple. On 18 November, he criticised the App Store’s cut by calling it a “hidden 30% tax on the Internet.” On Monday, he claimed that Apple, reportedly one of Twitter’s biggest advertisers, has “mostly” stopped advertising on the social network and that it has “threatened to withhold Twitter from its App Store, but won’t tell us why.”
