Many have wondered if Tesla would make a phone. Today we got a Tweet from Elon Musk saying that he would make a phone only if it came to that and as a last resort:
On YouTube, unfortunately, you have a bunch of fake videos about Tesla, the company, making a phone and these are simply false and not true. Tesla is not making a phone. I can see why people are making the videos though because some of them have millions of views and are drawing great interest. There is no Tesla Phone Model Pi or anything like that being produced.
Why does all this matter? Because Elon Musk now owns Twitter, one of the top social media companies in the world now and what if Apple and Google removed Twitter the app from their app stores. This would be a direct attack on Elon Musk and 3rd party developers making apps. If a company can just remove your app from their app store, what is to stop them from doing it again to any potential “threat” to their business.
I for one hope that there is not a removal of the Twitter app from the Apple iPhone and the Google Android phone. Elon Musk has his hands in so many different things now and making a phone would further stretch him and his time.
