<h5>Why is Elon Musk in the news again?</h5>  <p>Elon Musk may be the world’s richest man, but since buying Twitter, he has faced much criticism. He fired a lot of employees of Twitter while many others resigned. He also started a subscription service on Twitter for a person to get their account verified (the blue tick that can be seen next to an account name).
Employees were also told to start working 12 hours a day, seven days a week. Some fired employees were asked to return to work because their skills were required to make certain changes in the company. 
With Musk’s statement about prioritising free speech, companies are wary about advertising on Twitter. Musk also said that if the company doesn’t earn more money than it spends, it might go bankrupt. He has also restored previously suspended accounts, including former President Donald Trump's. All this has caused him to face a lot of criticism.
Recently, Musk had a tussle with Apple regarding certain issues.</p> <h5>What is Elon Musk’s issue with Apple?</h5> <figure>

      </figure> <p>Elon Musk accused Apple that it was threatening to remove Twitter from its app store. Musk also complained about Apple's 30% fee on transactions made through its app store. App store can be found in Apple products (MacBook, iPhone, etc.) from where a user can download various apps.</p>
<p>Musk tweeted about Apple’s app store policy and said that Apple threatened to remove Twitter from its app store. Apple requires social media platforms that can be found in its app store to have effective content moderating systems to remove harmful or abusive content.</p>
<p>Since Musk’s policies regarding Twitter are different (he promotes free speech instead of content moderation), this might not go down well with Apple. Who knows, Twitter might be removed from the app store in the future.</p> <h5>So, what will happen now?</h5>  <p>Well, iPhone users need not worry for now. Elon Musk has said that he has resolved a misunderstanding with Apple regarding the removal of Twitter from their app store. Musk tweeted that he had a conversation with Apple’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Tim Cook and that the company had never thought of removing the social media platform.</p>
<p>If Twitter is indeed removed from Apple’s app store and Google Play store, it would harm the company’s finances. The Twitter app is downloaded mainly by users from these two app stores. The social media platform getting removed from these two app stores would cut off the platform from potential customers.</p>
<p>So, Musk has resolved the issue as of now by holding discussions with the head of Apple.
</p> <h5>What did we learn from this article?</h5>  <p>From this article, we can learn that being the richest person in the world doesn’t automatically mean that we always get what we want. We can also take inspiration from Elon Musk and resolve our issues by communicating with people openly. </p>
