Twitter's new owner Elon Musk lashed out at Apple, Inc on the social media platform in a series of at 11 and counting tweets on Monday, accusing the iPhone maker of censoring its users and opposing free speech.

What Happened? Apple is reportedly one of many companies that have halted or reduced advertising spend on Twitter after Musk acquired the popular social media platform for $44 billion earlier this month. A recent report by Media Matters suggested half of Twitter's top advertisers have abandoned the platform since Musk took over. Follow benzinga

On Monday, Musk confirmed Apple is among the companies that are no longer advertising on Twitter.

"Apple has mostly stopped advertising on Twitter. Do they hate free speech in America?" Musk tweeted.

"Apple has also threatened to withhold Twitter from its App Store, but won’t tell us why," he said.

The latest tweets come after Musk said he would build his own smartphone if Apple and Alphabet, Inc. chooses to ban the Twitter app from their app stores in response to Musk's recent decision to reinstate previously banned Twitter users, such as former President Donald Trump and Kanye West.

"I certainly hope it does not come to that, but, yes, if there is no other choice, I will make an alternative phone," Musk said on Friday.

Apple shares were trading down 2.77% at $144 Monday afternoon. Get the rest of the story and any updates on benzinga.com, link in bio. benzinga
