Now Elon Musk wants to take Apple. The owner of Twitter tweeted on Monday that the iPhone maker had threatened to start its social media app from its App Store, which if that happened would kill one of Twitter’s main distribution channels. Apple declined to comment on Musk’s claims. For all his talk of free speech and censorship, Musk’s biggest gripe with Apple is probably more money than speech. The billionaire also took aim at Apple’s policy requiring app makers to pay the company a 15% to 30% discount on digital goods sold through their apps. Musk, eager to find a revenue stream for Twitter as advertising dollars have dried up, wants to charge subscription fees for certain services on Twitter.

Bob Iger made a resounding return to the disney land in Burbank, Calif., where he held his first town hall meeting since being rehired as CEO just over a week ago. He spent a lot of time focusing on corporate culture, which many at Disney resented under former CEO Bob Chapek, and touting his creative powers. But Iger also talked about concrete moves that will affect the daily work of the company. Iger said Disney would maintain the hiring freeze Chapek put in place and would carefully review the company’s cost structure. Chapek, in a cost-cutting memo he sent days before his ousting, said layoffs would be part of the process.

Another one biting the dust. BlockFi became the latest crypto firm to fail on Monday as the fallout from FTX’s failure spreads. The company had previously halted withdrawals and warned of its exposure to FTX and sister trading firm Alameda Research. BlockFi’s bankruptcy filing on Monday noted that it had an outstanding loan of $275 million to FTX US, the US unit of FTX. Previously valued at $4.8 billion, BlockFi avoided bankruptcy in July thanks to a $400 million revolving credit facility from FTX, whose founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, posed as a crypto white knight . However, that all came crashing down earlier this month as FTX itself filed for bankruptcy.
