Elon Musk Plans to Request Tim Cook for Reduced App Store Fees on X Subscriptions


Elon Musk says he plans to ask Tim Cook to adjust the App Store fees X ⁢pays on subscriptions as part of‌ a plan to boost creators earnings ​on ⁣the platform ⁤that ‍was, until ‍recently, ​known as⁣ Twitter.⁤ The remarks are the latest example of Musk calling out the “App Store tax” Apple takes⁤ from in-app purchases.

Musk framed‌ the ask as part of‍ a broader effort to help creators get ⁤paid more⁤ for paying subscribers. “While we had previously said⁢ that 𝕏 would‍ keep ‌nothing for the ⁢ [first] ⁣ 12 months, then 10%, we are amending that policy to 𝕏 keeps nothing forever, until payout exceeds ‍$100k, then 10%,” ‍he tweeted. “Apple does take 30%, but I will ‌speak with @tim_cook ​ and see‌ if⁢ that can be adjusted to be just 30% of ‍what 𝕏 keeps in order to⁢ maximize what creators receive.”
