Musk Says Apple Has 'Fully Resumed' Advertising On Twitter, This E-Commerce Giant Set To Follow Suit
Twitter CEO Elon Musk blasted Apple Inc (NASDAQ: AAPL) last week, saying it had mainly stopped advertising on Twitter and had threatened to withhold the social media app from its App Store.
Over the last few days, the Twitter space has buzzed with the Musk-Apple spat. Along with other businesses, Apple also reduced its ad expenditure on Twitter, which led to Musk’s attack on the tech giant.
