Twitter is a private business. There are no 1st Amendment rights at a private business. Three cheers for the Constitution. Musk can run Twitter however he desires. And companies that do business with Twitter can run their businesses as they desire. If Apple doesn't want to provide the Twitter app to users on their app store, do you think the government should be able to force them?
What the government can and should do if Apple refuses to put their app on the Apple store is to file an anti-trust suit to stop Apple's monopoly, which will likely be the reason Apple doesn't try to de-platform them.
Do you really think that Musk wouldn't fight that blatant attempt to crush Twitter to the death? Or that the new Republican House would hesitate to file anti-trust legislation against a left-wing stalwart like Apple?
