Rumors: Apple increased ad spending on Twitter, after meeting with
Musk, Apple CEO may give Musk special exemptions from App Store fees and hate speech rules.
My guess is that Musk was told Apple isn't taking any action right now and Musk pushed for assurances so he could start pulling in money for his fake blue checks for blue subscribers. If Twitter goes as predicted Apple (and Google) will likely ultimately be forced to act, but they wouldn't want to pull the plug prematurely, and I'd agree with that assessment.
