David, Declan, and Andrew kicked off Dispatch Live with a discussion of Elon Musk’s feud with Apple and whether Apple’s threat to remove Twitter from the app store would be an abuse of monopoly power. From there they moved on to the protests in China—why they are happening now and what tech companies and the U.S. government are doing right (and wrong) in their relationship with China. Also, David offered his perspectives on space exploration and Declan and Andrew debated the merits of soccer games having stoppage time.

    David all Biden has done is talk tough. and that all he is: tough talk! Why would u believe anything he says. Talk is cheap and for a career politician w/ the integrity of Biden its wholesale

    I quite doing the Tuesday night thing. The sole reason was you didn’t really answer questions.

    So with my tongue in cheek I submit everybody loves to hear themselves. Pontificate, display our quick wittedness, intelligence. I get it.

    I think you’d be served however if you answered questions. It might be interesting, provocative and perhaps the Dipstchers might feel more connected.

    Epic Games did at one point make clear that they intended to bring their game store to Apple products. Part of the point of their App Store "Monopoly" argument was to allow them to sell games and undercut Apple on their devices. I am guessing they think that opportunity is much larger than the 30% fee for Fortnite purchases.
