New Twitter boss Elon Musk said he’s not opposed to the idea of creating his own smartphones if Apple and Google remove the app from their platforms.
After sparking controversy earlier this week by proposing “general amnesty” for suspended accounts, Musk responded to right-wing podcaster Liz Wheeler’s suggestion that he should create a new smartphones if the tech giants choose to boot Twitter from their app stores.
Ms Wheeler pointed out that the endeavour would not be a challenge for a man who builds rockets to Mars, and claimed that “half the country would happily ditch the biased, snooping iPhone & Android” and purchase instead what she coined as the “tELONphone.”
Musk said that he is contemplating the idea as a last resort.
“I certainly hope it does not come to that, but, yes, if there is no other choice, I will make an alternative phone,” he wrote.
