ElonMusk claimed that he would make an alternative phone if Twitter is removed from app stores. Here's what we know about the rumored Tesla Phone.
Ever since he tweeted about it in November 2022, Elon Musk fans have been patiently waiting for more news regarding what’s been unofficially dubbed the Tesla Phone or the Tesla Pi Phone. Other than the initial tweet , there’s no official news out there about the Tesla Pi Phone. And while smartphone manufacturers often play things close to the vest until they’re ready to make their products public, there are still plenty of rumors regarding the smartphone.
The photo above shows a fan-made render from Antonio De Rosa, and it provides an interesting idea of what a Tesla Phone could look like: it’s equipped with a quad-camera system, metal body, and a prominent Tesla logo to tie the whole package together. Other renders throughout this article offer additional Tesla Phone concepts. They’re fun to look at, but once again, aren’t based on any legitimate leaks or rumors.
If the Tesla Phone is in the works, it seems equally likely that it would use a version of Android. The operating system is pretty malleable and is able to be used across plenty of different devices while also feeling unique to each phone manufacturer. Musk, hwever, claims to be uninterested in engaging with the “duopoly” that he perceives Google and Apple to have on the mobile industry, so using Android would be pretty hypocritical.
Why the Tesla phone isn’t going to happen After purchasing Twitter and appointing himself CEO, Elon Musk made some controversial changes to the site and its rules. He’s aiming to make Twitter a place where his ideas of free speech can be allowed, which has ultimately resulted in providing “amnesty” to previously banned accounts from white supremacists, conspiracy theorists, and other people who were in violation of Twitter’s old terms of service.
Elon Musk seems to think that Apple and Google have a “duopoly” over the smartphone market. While the two companies do control a lot of the industry, they’re far from the only major companies making successful smartphones. Samsung, Tecno, Huawei, Motorola, Oppo, OnePlus, and plenty of others are making some of the world’s most popular devices. However, they simply haven’t broken through in the U.S. and Europe in the same way that Apple and Google have.
If that were to happen, Musk would allegedly make some company start working on an “alternative smartphone” that would boast having Twitter on it as a major feature. At that point, however, Twitter would be completely dead in the water — save for its browser users made up of stubborn Elon Musk fans — so it would hardly be a selling point to a general audience that would have already moved on to new apps.
