Elon Musk thinks he can get the 'Apple tax' coverage modified for X

You recognize what they are saying… when you give a mouse a cookie, he is gonna need some milk.

Earlier this week, Apple made X the exception to a rule by altering “Twitter” to “X” on the App Retailer (earlier than that, it appeared, Apple didn’t enable an app to look of their retailer utilizing a single letter for its title).

Now, within the title of higher pay for X’s creators, Musk additionally desires Apple’s to alter its extremely contended App Retailer-wide charge of 30 %.

“Apple does take 30% [of what Twitter creators make off of subscriptions]” mentioned Musk in a tweet on Aug. 2, “however I’ll converse with Tim Cook dinner and see if that may be adjusted to be simply 30% of what X retains with the intention to maximize what creators obtain.”

To be clear “30% of what X retains” from creators can be $0 for a minimum of the following a number of months. Musk’s tweet clarified that “X retains [no percentage of what a creator on Twitter makes] eternally, till payout exceeds $100k, then 10%. First 12 months remains to be free for all.”

So, to recap, Musk thinks Tim Cook dinner — CEO of a publicly traded tech large — could be amenable to creating virtually nothing fromTwitter whereas additionally making an exception to a blanket coverage that also applies to the 1.8 million different apps within the App Retailer.

That is one foolish mouse.
