This would have been removed if we caught it sooner, but I’ve only seen it after 500 comments, so I’m going to leave this one up to persevere the ongoing conversations
I dunno, I was thinking they’d probably look something like the peacekeepers from the last Hunger Games movie. I personally kinda didn’t hate that aesthetic.
I mean… if Apple knows one thing, it’s design so… I dunno. At least we’ll get to be cute while commiting war crimes at the command of two random megalomaniac billionaires
Elon is gonna slap armor on the space x spacesuit and call it. Its gonna look like a clean room version of the House Atreides armor from dune with mud boots added.
On a real life note corpo wars are literally nothing new. Both british and french east india companies have declared active war on each other before. The united fruit company has wielded enormous power and bloodshed. And many more. Not to mention things like early US history with mining companies, pinkertons, railroad companies, all have fielded active combatants against both locals and competing companies.
For sure, lmao. My grandfather worked at Lockheed in their Missiles & Fire Control division for ~25 years, and some of the stuff I heard about the place was nuts. Their buildings form a huge fenced and gated complex the size of a small neighborhood. The onsite security reminds me of the guards around places in the game like the Arasaka buildings, noticable cyberpunk vibes to it.
People always tell me I’m the most Borged out, they tell me all the time, you’re the best borg and it’s true, I’ve got tremendous borg parts, the best, everyone says so. The thing about being borged out is, just uuuge cyberdeck,more ram than probably anybody. Elon says to me ‘I need you to save twitter from the Jews’ so I do it, Jews have the worst cyberware, really terrible, not like me. So I save twitter because Elon needs my help
As cyberpunk-y as this sounds and as interesting as it is to me, this being on wallstreetbets gives it much less credit, in my opinion. This could simply be some dude who thinks he can mess with the market by scaring people or whatever.
It's WSB. It's a really dumb take on the situation. Apple has $50B cash on hand "just in case" and is a trillion+ company. Elon is a right wing conspiracy theorist who spent $44B buying Twitter before trashing it.
I dont know, mass producing orbital rockets is a great base to build loads of ICBMs. And a car factory isn't a terribly long way off from a fighting vehicle factory. Boring company for defensive works.
Yeah, their “vast resources… including trillions of dollars” is literally one company being valued over a trillion dollars (debatable) and the other company recently being over priced at 44 billion. The difference between 44 billion and 1 trillion is staggering to say the least..
Apple holds liquid cash reserves larger than Musk's "calculated" (completely illusionary) wealth. CASH reserves, not even other liquid assets. Pure Benjamins.
As a Twitter user, I’m sad to see it go out like this. As a Twitter user, I’m also excited to see some possible comeuppance for Elon Musk’s absolute idiocy.
The useabilty factor. I HATE Facebook and only went on occasionally via the web on my phone and then I got into 2 Facebook groups that are good for what I do for a living and had to get the app. It was just too difficult to do it on safari or chrome on my iphone.
Can't wait to be conscripted into the Tesla corps and have the tank explode from the engineers using Home Depot parts just so Elon can have access to a puddle of cleanish water
Elon could win the App Store fight, but he’ll lose because everyone is seeing how mentally unstable he is. Less Tesla buyers, less qualified people wanting to work for Tesla and space x and less Tesla stock buyers.
"apple erased all of their tweets" yeah, you mean "apple never ever tweeted anything aside from the event promotion tweet that gets immediately deleted after the event"?
Apple had to be legally forced to add USB-C ports to their future iPhone. Not to mention years of belittling their customers as complete idiots, remember the time (2008 if I recall) Apple said on their first iPhone that they can't have apps because an "app could take down an entire mobile network" yea. Apple could rot in hell no matter how many beautiful devices they make.
Don't underestimate your enemy. We have no idea what lengths he is capable of going to in order to feed that ego. Madmen are dangerous, especially the ones we do not take seriously.
This is a war? No, this is one dude who was never cool trying to be cool on the internet. Apple is apple, they pulled off of Twitter (like many other companies) because Elon Musk is insane and it's bad for business right now. It would be non-news any other time, but he somehow takes it as a personal blow to his ego so he can't shut up about it.
I bet he’ll back off if Apple threatens to remove Apple compatibility in Elon’s cars. Would anyone buy a Tesla if they knew it wouldn’t pair with Apple devices?
It is just wonderful to see how Elon completely ruins Twitter, makes already 2 digit millions in losses, may will be forced to shut down Twitter entirely in the EU and will have to deal with an incredible huge amount of lawsuits, especially in the EU, which most likely will go into the hundreds of millions, etc. and now this. Just wonderful how many millions of people migrate to Mastodon, a free, non profit (ad free), partly open source, kinda similar, yet far superior Twitter alternative from Germany and hosted there.
Cant wait for the secret tesla EMP technology to start frying apple devices and apple to have some sort of espionage style blackmail on massive amounts of elon employees
This would have been removed if we caught it sooner, but I’ve only seen it after 500 comments, so I’m going to leave this one up to persevere the ongoing conversations
Let them fight
Gojira...
You forget the patent wars
There won't be a fight. Twitter needs Apple; Apple doesn't need Twitter.
Apple wins.
I knew this sun would repost this. Fucking knew it.
If we're lucky they'll take each other out and spend billions doing it.. meaning billions that go into the economy
The thing is, Elon just lost 40B of Tesla's money being forced to buy Twitter's actual sinking ship, so this is more like Apple vs Twitter/Tesla.
as an android user who doesn't use twitter
I can't wait to see the uniforms. They're gonna look so awful.
Wouldn't apple be just black turtlenecks all around?
Apple is going to look like when you buy the French foreign legion on wish
I dunno, I was thinking they’d probably look something like the peacekeepers from the last Hunger Games movie. I personally kinda didn’t hate that aesthetic.
I mean… if Apple knows one thing, it’s design so… I dunno. At least we’ll get to be cute while commiting war crimes at the command of two random megalomaniac billionaires
I have to presume they will call in merc support from Tesla, those uniforms will be slick right?
The officer's uniforms for Apple would be the black turtlenecks and the grunts would be blue T-shirts with the apple logo on them.
Elon is gonna slap armor on the space x spacesuit and call it. Its gonna look like a clean room version of the House Atreides armor from dune with mud boots added.
Apple will probably be blue t shirt with a plaid shirt underneath and black pants.
apple is gonna look like frozone.
Cmon Corpo wars are old news, Pepsi vs coca cola
Taco Bell about to win the Franchise Wars as Demolition Man predicted.
Don't recall that one involving an armed conflict...
Left Twix vs Right Twix
On a real life note corpo wars are literally nothing new. Both british and french east india companies have declared active war on each other before. The united fruit company has wielded enormous power and bloodshed. And many more. Not to mention things like early US history with mining companies, pinkertons, railroad companies, all have fielded active combatants against both locals and competing companies.
Apple gonna lose by lack of medical support, no Doctor will come close to them.
Which is why they hire rippers and trauma team. Vic's got this.
This is it, you win the post
Can someone explain this for us dummies?
Boo this man.
I cringed at this absolutely brilliant joke
Can still afford a doctor if you buy a PC.
someone get lockheed martin in the fray and we could really spice up this corpo war
And whatever the fuck Blackwater has rebranded to this time.
I LOVE THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX
Yeah MIC MIC MIC MIC MIC
For sure, lmao. My grandfather worked at Lockheed in their Missiles & Fire Control division for ~25 years, and some of the stuff I heard about the place was nuts. Their buildings form a huge fenced and gated complex the size of a small neighborhood. The onsite security reminds me of the guards around places in the game like the Arasaka buildings, noticable cyberpunk vibes to it.
Where was I? I was buying bitcoin so I could start up Nicola Beverages
Taste the love! TM
This is going to be adam smasher v the guy who stole your shit from a.BD
Shitting
Go short?
Yea soo… Apples Twitter account never had any tweets. They only ever used it for advertising but you‘d never see their ads on their profile as tweets.
Donald trump is going to be team elons adam smasher
People always tell me I’m the most Borged out, they tell me all the time, you’re the best borg and it’s true, I’ve got tremendous borg parts, the best, everyone says so. The thing about being borged out is, just uuuge cyberdeck,more ram than probably anybody. Elon says to me ‘I need you to save twitter from the Jews’ so I do it, Jews have the worst cyberware, really terrible, not like me. So I save twitter because Elon needs my help
My bet is that Apple goes on heedless without needing so much as token resistance to Elon.
If he does make a phone I'd wager it ends up being a rebranded Chinese phone with some comical security flaws beyond the run of the mill CCP spyware
Amazon, Microsoft, and Facebook all failed at creating a phone.
I think Elon certainly could make a phone but I don’t think Elon would make a phone, he’s far too lazy.
As cyberpunk-y as this sounds and as interesting as it is to me, this being on wallstreetbets gives it much less credit, in my opinion. This could simply be some dude who thinks he can mess with the market by scaring people or whatever.
Maybe, but musk did post a tweet about going to war before he deleted it.
It's WSB. It's a really dumb take on the situation. Apple has $50B cash on hand "just in case" and is a trillion+ company. Elon is a right wing conspiracy theorist who spent $44B buying Twitter before trashing it.
Apple will win this, because their army is bigger. Twitter is comparatively small compared to them
That’s an understatement. Apple is orders of magnitude larger than Twitter
I dont know, mass producing orbital rockets is a great base to build loads of ICBMs. And a car factory isn't a terribly long way off from a fighting vehicle factory. Boring company for defensive works.
It wouldn't be about Twitter. Would be against Musk and his empire.
The US Government love SpaceX, because they are able to delivery weapons platform for the Pentagon.
Google: doooo iiiiit. Dooooo iiiiit! Our corpo can gain ground at apples stumbling! Android is home of twitter!!!
Don't forget Elon owns SpaceX, Tesla and PayPal too alongside his kid soldiers from the emerald mines
Russia will win this, because their army is bigger. Ukraine is comparatively small compared to them
Screw that I'm joining the nomads
Dear lord someone call in the Basalisk
The Pacific Theatre, 2023
Yeah apple will win lol
It wouldn't even be close. Elon needs apple to allow twitter support on their platform or risk losing a shit ton of money.
“I never thought I would die fighting side by side with Apple.”
"How about sitting on the sidelines and enjoying the show?"
”How about a… ?” Yeah nah
Everyone's trying to compare apples with apples LOL, but it's not the same.
Wasn’t the first corpo war Apple v. Microsoft?
Standard Oil
Let me tell you something about the East India Tea Company.
Coke V. Pepsi is older... but still not the oldest. The Rail Wars would be closer to "first".
Just like in 2077, the only victims will be the employees and consumers. Welp, where is the sign up list for experimental cyberware?
Time to chrome the fuck up, choom!
Twitter's revenue, pre-Elon, was $5 billion.
Yeah, their “vast resources… including trillions of dollars” is literally one company being valued over a trillion dollars (debatable) and the other company recently being over priced at 44 billion. The difference between 44 billion and 1 trillion is staggering to say the least..
I have a rockstar in my head and I am going insane
How much until we get kiroshi optics ? I dont want to wear glasses anymore
There are prototypes being developed right now:
Elon musk going after apple is like the company that makes Burrito XXL going after Arasaka.
Apple holds liquid cash reserves larger than Musk's "calculated" (completely illusionary) wealth. CASH reserves, not even other liquid assets. Pure Benjamins.
As a Twitter user, I’m sad to see it go out like this. As a Twitter user, I’m also excited to see some possible comeuppance for Elon Musk’s absolute idiocy.
This is a great take!! I truly hope it happens this way.
And where was Gondor?
Why doesn't the bigger of the two corporations not simply eat the smaller one?
Why would people care if the app goes away for them? You can use the website on your phone
The useabilty factor. I HATE Facebook and only went on occasionally via the web on my phone and then I got into 2 Facebook groups that are good for what I do for a living and had to get the app. It was just too difficult to do it on safari or chrome on my iphone.
Pretty sure the first real equivalents were the imperial "companies" stealing reassures (East India Company etc.).
I'd threaten to nuke one side and take all their cash but I already did that and it got me banned from Twitter :P
This gon be Arasaka vs Militech but in our world
More like Arasaka vs Garry the prophet and his trash collection.
Reality Distortion Fields will collide…chaos will ensue…the consumer will be affected and the rich will profit…
"Death to corpos" -Karim the merchant, 2077
Ngl i was taking a shit
Greeeaaaaat, just as I'm moving to Silicon Valley. I'll take the true neutral approach and attack both sides. ANARCHY!
Apple is pro-censorship. They're on the wrong side of history.
Can't wait to be conscripted into the Tesla corps and have the tank explode from the engineers using Home Depot parts just so Elon can have access to a puddle of cleanish water
Tfw my tesla main battle tank goes on fire while charging. I have to pay damages
*Grabing my katana and heading straigh to twitter HQ*
than what are you going to do with it?
“Let that sink in”
Apple has alot of power but elon is crazy so who knows who will win.
[удалено]
Elon could win the App Store fight, but he’ll lose because everyone is seeing how mentally unstable he is. Less Tesla buyers, less qualified people wanting to work for Tesla and space x and less Tesla stock buyers.
None of us were born yet. The Dutch East India Trading Co beat them to it
Old story... Remember the Corpo war Apple vs. Google because the latter company dared to release an OS for smartphones?
WEF is establishing Corporate control on a global scale by influencing political decisions.
Interesting that you think this is the "First" corpo war and not the second, maybe third.
So when are we able to Chrome Up for that?
Laying in bed while there’s corpo war on my west side and literal war just behind my eastern border
Because apples has never removed apps from the store that they didn't like for whatever reason....
Trillions of dollars... Only one company has trillions. Apple's the new Arasaka... Applsaka. Twitter doesn't stand a chance.
"apple erased all of their tweets" yeah, you mean "apple never ever tweeted anything aside from the event promotion tweet that gets immediately deleted after the event"?
Fuck both of them Apple is a shit company and Elon Musk is a shit person.
Yeah I'm definitely putting money on Elon
I’m rooting for Taco Bell in the impending franchise wars
Space daddy got rockets. This isn't going to end well for Apple
As a parent I can tell that Elon is working himself up into an absolute pants-shitting tantrum.
Not the first time Big Fruit has shed blood. Looking at you, “Nationalize your farms and we’ll sic Marines on you” Chiquita
Elon Musk is my vote
Stuck behind the counter at my menial, pointless, nowhere near paying enough to thrive, completely dead end job .... Of course. Where else?
The Muskovites will be armed with those Boring Company flamethrowers.
I hate capitalism
Apple had to be legally forced to add USB-C ports to their future iPhone. Not to mention years of belittling their customers as complete idiots, remember the time (2008 if I recall) Apple said on their first iPhone that they can't have apps because an "app could take down an entire mobile network" yea. Apple could rot in hell no matter how many beautiful devices they make.
First Corporate War happened hundreds of years ago, it was fought between the many "West/East Indi" Companies during the colonial era.
That sub is stupid as shit. Almost as stupid as the gamestop cult.
This won't be a war, it'll be a slaughter. Tim Apple will laugh at Elon.
So corp war between two of the companies i hate the most
There will be no hot war. Battles occur in the minds of the average person.
Make sure you live stream your internal monologue! :P
Even if twitter gets removed from the App Store (which I doubt)… don’t they know about a thing called a browser?
is it a war if Elon gets curbstomped completely through his own actions?
Like Nazis fighting the KKK I can only hope both sides are utterly destroyed. Shame it'll be for all the workers but power fuck both companies.
No, This is like if militech went to war against arasaka after Gary the prophet gained total unquestionable control over it somehow
Musk's house of cards is about to start falling apart. I would not want to be holding Tesla stock right now. . . .
Smoking weed in my bathroom while i run the shower so its like a home sauna hot box
Elon is picking the wrong fights but his ego won’t let him make the right choices.
Don't underestimate your enemy. We have no idea what lengths he is capable of going to in order to feed that ego. Madmen are dangerous, especially the ones we do not take seriously.
"They'd say you're taking too big a risk. Poetically speaking, flying toward the sun to burn up."- Mr. Blue
Damn apple deleted all its tweets lol.
they never tweeted
This is a war? No, this is one dude who was never cool trying to be cool on the internet. Apple is apple, they pulled off of Twitter (like many other companies) because Elon Musk is insane and it's bad for business right now.

I bet he’ll back off if Apple threatens to remove Apple compatibility in Elon’s cars. Would anyone buy a Tesla if they knew it wouldn’t pair with Apple devices?
That would probably piss off a lot of people lmao
I’d rather replace my $500 phone vs my $70k car.
People drove cars without Apple compatibility for a century, it will be a mild inconvenience at best.
Apple > twitter … twitter can fuck off with the white nationalist propaganda bs
It is just wonderful to see how Elon completely ruins Twitter, makes already 2 digit millions in losses, may will be forced to shut down Twitter entirely in the EU and will have to deal with an incredible huge amount of lawsuits, especially in the EU, which most likely will go into the hundreds of millions, etc. and now this. Just wonderful how many millions of people migrate to Mastodon, a free, non profit (ad free), partly open source, kinda similar, yet far superior Twitter alternative from Germany and hosted there.
Cant wait for the secret tesla EMP technology to start frying apple devices and apple to have some sort of espionage style blackmail on massive amounts of elon employees
Gonna clean up the scraps afterwards like a vulture
Watching X-BDs
Venezia
Laughs in ford and samsung
First corpo war? Ever heard of Apple vs Microsoft?
Well, Twitter doesn't have much technical expertise left.... 😆
Probably apple
Well I guess it a good thing I lived off grid my whole childhood thru high-school.
Where's my popcorn?
And so the first corpo war begins
when you find out it was elon who wiped out apples tweets
Pretty sure I was sitting somewhere just existing.
Woohooo
The question is, who will have more epic looking tanks I can drive?
Time to get chipped, choom.
Embed the code I'm chippin in
Pepsi and Coca Cola have entered the chat
Sitting in my comfortable chair laughing at the silliness of it all.
Whats a Cupertino?
Cut em both down now before it spreads
Trillionaires beat billionaires, 999 to 1.
Where was I? Getting gas
This post putting Apple and Twitter in the same level. If this is a corpo war it is Arasaka vs Appel de Paris.
Walk Street Bets is a Casino, so I take them, and anything they say, very lightly.
Fighting demons.
Where's Adam Smasher when you need him?
This is the cringiest shit ever
First great corporate war
War seems to be overstating the case. If I hit a guy 15 times larger than me, it's not a war, it's suicide.
Overrated and overpriced walled garden tech VS overrated grifter. I hope they both destroy themselves.
In what world does Twitter "command vast resources" compared to Apple? Maybe could have claimed the technical expertise part a few weeks ago.
And here I thought the first war would be between Walmart and Amazon.
About to go on fortnite as the tart tycoon to remember when epic vs apple while reading funny tweets on this shit show 🤣
Too bad we didn't use the Soulkiller on Steve Jobs so we can shove that engram inside a pear.
Twitter has no chance against apple. Twitter will destroy itself before they damage apple lol
