    If 30% is way too high or highway robbery, why does it continue to grow? If it is indeed too high, purchases, usage, and revenue would begin to shrink.

    I was considering a Tesla as my next vehicle purchase. However, I think the profit Musk is making on each vehicle sold is much too high, plus he is an asshole. Therefore, I will purchase a different vehicle and absolutely not purchase a Tesla.

    It is that simple. If you think something costs too much or you do not like the people associated with the product, then do not purchase it.

    Must be nice to be able to run a business off government subsidies and the ether of the stock market.

    I despise narrow minded haters. 84% of apps on the AppStore are free and Apple makes negative dollars on them. 16% are paid apps where Apple makes  a very reasonable and industry standard rate of 15% to 30%. 
    I wonder what would be the price per kWh at Tesla charging stations if 84% of their customers didn’t have to pay.

    Does apple not take a cut of in-app ad revenue? (I don’t know).

    Nope. Apple had an in-app platform called iAd but my understanding is that it has been dropped.

    I'm beginning to wish this guy would just shut up! And, stop injecting irrelevant political commentary into a Mac discussion.
