New Delhi: In a recent Twitter announcement, renowned entrepreneur Elon Musk took a stand against Apple's App Store fees and expressed his intentions to seek changes that could benefit content creators on the social media. Musk's Tweet caught the attention of tech enthusiasts and news outlets alike. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO stated that he plans to approach Apple's CEO, Tim Cook, with a proposal to revise the existing App Store fee structure for X's subscription service. Currently, Apple takes a flat 30% cut from the total subscription cost, but Musk proposed a new model where Apple would only take 30% from the portion retained by X, meaning creators on the platform would receive a larger share of the subscription revenue. The maverick billionaire has been vocal in his criticism of Apple's App Store fees, labeling them as a "hidden 30% tax on the internet." This move comes in the backdrop of ongoing legal disputes between Apple and Epic Games, during which Musk had expressed his support for the game development company's quest for fairer App Store rules.
