    You really have to wonder what’s going on behind the scenes here. Tim knows, the majority of his employees know, that Twitter is a wasteland and not worth spending money on. So why the wishy washy response? Did someone previously sign a contract that’s difficult to get out of or something? Because Apple certainly isn’t gaining anything by advertising on X.
