Will make ‘alternative’ phone if Twitter is ever booted from app stores: Elon Musk


Twitter CEO Elon Musk on Saturday said that he would develop an “alternative” phone if ever the micro-blogging platform were to be removed from Apple and Google app stores.


Earlier, Twitter user Liz Wheeler had tweeted, “If Apple & Google boot Twitter from their app stores, @elonmusk should produce his own smartphone. Half the country would happily ditch the biased, snooping iPhone & Android. The man builds rockets to Mars, a silly little smartphone should be easy, right?”
