Elon is either out of touch or does not understand the last 20 years of tech. Both Apple and Google take a cut from things bought through their store. You don't have to sell subs through them..open up your own payment system on your own website like most larger companies do.
So a company like Spotify, for example, should just concede 30% of its profits to Apple?
What other options do they have?
pork futuresroasted pork stock
and "whoossssshhh' capitalism is out of style again.
Apple has been charging the 30% since 2008.Capitalism has been out of style since Biden took office. Do you see who is running the FTC?

My last apple product was a Mac g4 dual processor, in 2004. Won't buy another apple product again.Why don't you and Elon do something about it? Tell Apple to **** off. Don't use their products.
Heck, I saw what they were about 15 years ago and don't support them in any way.
I don't care for any corporate gouging...Apple charges a 30% Apple Tax for in-app purchases yet the ftc is doing nothing about it. They are more worried about blocking Facebook from buying a start up vr app, Amazon from buying irobot and Ticketmaster charging too much for Taylor Swift tickets.
Apple has created such an oppressive environment for businesses yet nothing is done about it. I mean 30%? Really.
Shouldn't the ftc allow a third party competitor who charges like a flat 3% fee or some sort of annual amount?
I will stay with Apple and Taylor Swift. YOU shouldn't get near either one = problem solved.Apple charges a 30% Apple Tax for in-app purchases yet the ftc is doing nothing about it.

Considering he never got any of the degrees he claims, and lies about things like the death of his own kid... Then I am more inclined to go "he is just ignorant of how things work" or even just dumb.Perhaps.
Another possibility is that he's playing games with the recreational outrage enthusiasts like Trumpco et al do
though none of these suggestions are mutually exclusive.
Elon could be out of touch, fail to understand the last twenty years of tech, and be playing with the minds of the recreational outrage enthusiasts like Trumpco et al do

Do you know what other entities have a similar setup that you use?I would never buy an Apple iPhone and support those greedy ****s with their closed source software.
Being a RWNJ isn't a protected class.

You think antitrust law is ANTI free market? LolSo you support the free market, yet the FTC is blocking EVERY attempted acquisition from Meta, Amazon, and even Microsoft acquiring Activision.
How is that promoting free market principles?
Why? You don't have to use apples system to do your subscriptions. Very few do that now days.I agree. The 30% tax needs to go away and there need to be significant financial penalties on Apple's execs for the fact that it ever existed.
I believe they need to give up 60% of their salaries for the next 5 years.
