Apple Is Holding the Final Nail for X’s Coffin
Apple Is Holding the Final Nail for X’s Coffin
Precedent would suggest the platform formerly known as Twitter is at risk of a ban from the App Store — but it’s a fight Tim Cook really won’t want.
You're viewing a single thread.
I could see either of these things happening:
- Musk pouts and (laughably) threatens to build a better Apple.
- Musk says he’ll buy Apple. Fails hilariously.
You do realize Elon and Steve Jobs share more traits than don't? If he owned Apple it would actually work pretty well I'd think. Ignoring the fact it's way too expensive for him.
The only reason we think so highly of Jobs is he died before social media
I mean, he died in 2011 and pretty much all of his worst behaviors are well documented and I think he's well regarded in spite of those things, but importantly also because he seemed to learn and grow through his life. The worst things Jobs seem to be responsible for are barely a Tuesday for Elon these days, and the level of talent are also so disparate that putting them in the same sentence is a little absurd.
To think he would've lived if he didn't act like a total nutcase and rely on alternative medicine...
Honestly crazy to me. Access to the best doctors and medicine in the world with no worries about money. Easy curable disease and yet you are so fucking high on yourself and your ways you die from it.
I guess money won't fix arrogance mixed with stupidity. Such a shame...
Isn't pancreatic cancer one of the lowest survival rate cancers?
Edit: thank you for teaching me Lemmy!
He was diagnosed with insulinoma, which unlike other pancreatic cancers, is curable and can be treated with surgery. Doctors recommended an early operation but Mr Jobs could not be persuaded to stop his pursuit of alternative remedies.
Mr Jobs went public about his cancer in 2004 after finally agreeing to surgery that year, by which time the cancer had spread.
He realised the delay had been a mistake and told his biographer Walter Isaacson: "I should have gotten it earlier."
He survived 8 years with it though, whilst refusing normal medical attention. Given that, had he dealt with it in the first or even second year he'd have probably had a good shot at surviving.
Haha I have no love for Apple but musk would immediately tank it. His first decree on day one as ceo would be that all apps in the apple store would have to make fart noises when you open them
Honestly they would likely manage the same.
Both are obsessed about micromanaging every aspect of the device.
Both work their staff to death and expect the impossible.
Both create a company that is a brand. That is, there are better products out there, but people will pay a premium just to say they own an Apple device/Tesla.
It's actually extremely logical/a great fit.
lmfao
If you read their biographies instead of just idol worshipping Jobs I think you'd understand a bit better.
Seems like people just want to think Jobs wasn't a piece of shit when he definitely was.
