On Monday, Musk publicly said that Apple planned to remove his social network from the App Store, and then criticized the company’s policy of receiving a 30% commission on every in-app purchase.

It’s unclear if the CEOs discussed the commission on the App Store, Musk has been silent on the matter for now. However, it was noticed that Elon deleted a tweet with a meme in which he stated that he was ready to “go to war” so as not to pay a percentage of Apple.
