We all know that Elon Musk has purchased Twitter and appointed himself the CEO. Elon Musk has made controversial changes to the site and also its rules. Well, this was done mainly to fulfil his dream of making Twitter a place where his idea of free speech can be allowed, and this has ultimately resulted in providing “amnesty” to the previously banned accounts of people, which includes high dignitaries such as white supremacists, conspiracy theorists, and other people who violated Twitter’s old terms of service.
Elon Musk has also claimed in a tweet that Apple has threatened him, and the tweet goes as “threatened to withhold Twitter from its App Store” but didn’t tell him why. The Twitter CEO also claimed that Apple has “mostly stopped advertising” on popular social media. This Elon Musk was unable to figure out. The world’s richest man apparently couldn’t understand why a company like Apple would want to take some cautionary steps away from the gasoline he’s pouring on Twitter. Well, this tweet has given heed to the topic of making an “alternative phone” by Elon Musk if Apple and Google were to remove Twitter from their app stores.
I know, folks; you all are eagerly waiting to know about the Tesla Phone by now. So, keep reading to know more!
Tesla smartphone:
Elon Musk thinks Apple and Google have a “duopoly” over the smartphone market. While these two companies control much of the industry, they are far from the only major companies making successful smartphones. This includes Samsung, Tecno, Huawei, Motorola, Oppo, OnePlus, and many others, making some of the world’s most popular devices. However, they simply haven’t broken through in the U.S. and Europe (with Samsung as an exception) in a similar way to Google and Apple.
However, based on the humungous success of Tesla along with the good portion of companies that Elon Musk owns, like the internal reports of Twitter’s potential impending bankruptcy, the Boring Company’s overall lack of results, and Neuralink’s ridiculous proposed $10 million implant surgery, there is no precedent that a phone made by Tesla company and owned by Elon Musk will be successful.
It is obvious that Tesla’s success is an exception to that, But it is seen that Tesla operates best without the influence of Musk. It is also observed Musk often Overpromises with all of his businesses, including Tesla, which generally makes the company look bad and like it is at the whim of a child who is spitballing ideas all the time.
One of the legitimate points of Musk is that Apple and Google have a chokehold app on the iOS and Android app stores. If they were to take Twitter off these platforms, the app would have a downfall as the users would switch to other social media apps available on the app store.
If this happens, then Musk is planning to start a company of an “alternative phone” which boasts of having Twitter on it as a major feature of the tesla cell phone. However, if this happens, Twitter will be completely dead. And only saviour could be its browser users, which are made up of stubborn Elon Musk fans.
So, the tesla pi phone will hardly be of any sale to the general audience because the audience would have already moved to new apps.
More on Tesla Model Pi:
I hope, folks, you have got an idea that the tesla phone is a far-etched possibility, and even if it becomes a reality, it will behave fewer sales. On top of all that, The Tesla phone would still be competing with other smartphones in the market to be successful, along with committing to the years-long and multimillion-dollar process of making a new phone(complete with a brand-new operating system and app store).
Folks, you must know that there are many smartphone companies led by a single figurehead that has been marketing themselves as alternative options to Google and Apple- just like Carl Pei with Nothing brand. When we look at the Nothing brand, they are still niche products and do not seriously compete in the way they set out to do.
For that matter, when we look at Microsoft, it started charting its course with Windows years ago, but the project failed after less than 10 years. So, the question that comes here is, if Microsoft couldn’t do it, how would Elon Musk make it happen?
However, we cannot ignore the fact that Musk has extraordinarily contributed to the core group of fans, and they almost certainly are not enough to support the emergence of a newcomer to the mobile industry, and this goes especially with the ones are its arch rivals such as Google and Apple. Given how prominently these companies are established in the U.S. market, it would be a major ask for Musk to request his fans to ditch their iPhones, Pixels and galaxy phones to buy his latest Tesla phone.
Elon Musk’s Promises:
We do not know whether the Tesla phone will come on the market, nor do we know about the Tesla pi phone release date along with the Tesla phone price. In this scenario, Elon Musk constantly makes promises that sound good only on paper to his fans. But his promises often materialise, just like the one he promised about ten years ago that we would have human beings walking on Mars at this particular point.
Similarly, this Tesla Phone would be unsurprising if it never came into reality and is just smoke and mirrors.
Currently, Elon Musk is concerned about losing money on Twitter. It feels unlikely to jump-start a new industry, the smartphone industry, by launching the Tesla phone, even if Google and Apple were to take it off their app store.
