Elon Musk has said if required he will make an alternative phone to Apple and Google. Know why.
Elon Musk, the new CEO of the social media platform Twitter has said that he can make an alternative smartphone to the Apple iPhone and Google Pixel. Replying to a Twitter user Liz Wheeler (@Liz_Wheeler), host of The Liz Wheeler Show, Musk has said the same when asked if Apple and Google boot Twitter from their app stores will he produce his own smartphone.
Wheeler took to her Twitter account saying. “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?”
In response to which the CEO of the social media platform said, “I certainly hope it does not come to that, but, yes, if there is no other choice, I will make an alternative phone.” Meanwhile, it can be known that there are already reports claiming that Tesla, owned by Musk, can launch its first phone called ‘Pi’ soon. However, there is no official confirmation on the same.
Meanwhile, after taking over the social media platform, Musk has been making several changes to the platform.
As per the latest details, Twitter is planning to roll out its verified service next Friday with different colored checks for individuals, companies and governments, after a botched initial launch led to a surge in users impersonating celebrities and brands on the platform. Musk has also allotted colors for the categories – gold for companies, grey for governments and a blue check for individuals including celebrities.
“Painful, but necessary,” he said, adding that verified accounts will be manually authenticated before a check is activated, according to a report by Reuters. The revamped $8 per month service will allow individuals to have a smaller, secondary logo of their organizations if verified by them, Musk added.
It can be known that Twitter’s subscription service was paused on November 11 as fake accounts mushroomed, forcing Musk to bring back the “official” badge to some users.
