Elon Musk On Why Democrat Politicians Are Targeting Him
Musk is known for his eccentric and controversial tweets and opinions. Ever since he bought Twitter, the Tesla CEO has been firing all cylinders when it comes to using the platform.
Recently, the South African billionaire tweeted that several Democrat politicians have started targeting him all of a sudden. “Several other major Democrat politicians attacked me too, all around the same time,” he tweeted.
Several other major Democrat politicians attacked me too, all around the same time. It was coordinated.
Outside of party leadership and independents like Manchin, they are essentially actors on the political stage, not directors or script writers.

Musk then called it a “coordinated” attack. “Outside of party leadership and independents like Manchin, they are essentially actors on the political stage, not directors or script writers,” he said.
It was in response to a user stating that politicians like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren started attacking Musk for no reason. They said that of all the people, the politicians are attacking someone who is “most capable of helping government solve problems.”

Apple Stops Ads On Twitter
Ever since Musk took over Twitter, advertisers have been backing out of the platform. A mass resignation also took place. In another blow, Apple seems to have withheld its ads on the platform.
In a tweet, Musk stated, “Apple has also threatened to withhold Twitter from its App Store, but won’t tell us why.” He also labeled the App Store’s fees a “secret 30% tax”.
The SpaceX founder further tweeted, “Apple has mostly stopped advertising on Twitter. Do they hate free speech in America?” He then went on to ask Apple CEO, Tim Cook “What’s going on here?”
One of the reasons is the instability on the platform after Musk took over. He also unbanned several controversial names like Donald Trump, Andrew Tate, and Kanye West.
