Elon Musk criticises Apple App Store's walled garden, use of cobalt in batteries

During an Earnings Call, Musk criticised Apple’s usage of cobalt in batteries, cell phones, and laptops. He also said that there is a misperception that Tesla uses a lot of cobalt, used in smartphones and electric cars.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk during an Earnings Call on Monday hinted at Apple’s App Store policy calling it a walled garden hinting at its anti-competitive behaviour. Apple’s walled garden refers to the strict App Store policy in which Apple controls what can be downloaded from the App Store. Apple has been under scrutiny because of its App Store policy that further got highlighted after the Epic Games- App Store lawsuit.
