It will be interesting to see if Apple shoots back against Musk companies for patent infringement. Apple has a very large set of patients and their lawyers should be able to find quite a few to litigate with. One of the reasons companies have many patents is to have ammunition during a litigation war. Besides that, Apple has a lot more disposable cash than Elon companies do. I'm not even talking about stock market valuation.

He can't build a free speech social media app, a smartphone would be harder. There was a post that said: 4 words to ruin any dinner conversation.
I replied: Adolf Hitler was right!
His app said "Your post's visibility has been limited."
I felt warm/fuzzy first amendment vibes all over!
