Will make phones if Apple, Google remove Twitter from app stores: Elon Musk

Alarmed at Apple and Google app store teams reviewing Twitter under him, Twitter CEO Elon Musk on Saturday said that he will produce “alternative” smartphones to compete with Apple and Android devices.

Twitter is now facing a close scrutiny by both Apple and Google app stores and Musk is worried that the micro-blogging platform can get removed from the app stores.

It all started when a user tweeted, “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?”
