The meeting between the two leaders of the two giants comes at a time when many companies have stopped ad spending on Twitter, amid concerns about Musk’s plans to overhaul content on the site, which is a major blow to the company that relies on advertising as its main source of income.
After entering the dispute on Monday, Musk accused Apple of censorship and criticized its policies, including the fees it charges within its App Store.
The text of his speech was: “Apple has mostly stopped advertising on Twitter. Do they hate free speech in America?”
News of the meeting with Apple also came after Musk was told he faced “a huge job ahead” to get Twitter to comply with new EU rules on disinformation or face a possible ban.
European Commissioner Thierry Breton delivered the comments in a meeting with Musk on Wednesday, saying Twitter should address issues such as content review, disinformation and targeted advertising.
The Digital Services Act, passed by the European Union earlier this year, is seen as the biggest overhaul of the rules governing online activity in decades and imposes new obligations on companies to prevent abuse of their platforms.
Large companies are expected to comply with the law next year and face fines of up to 6% of global turnover for non-compliance or a ban for repeated serious violations.
