Elon Musk's Twitter has removed Twitter for iPhone and Twitter for Android labels from his newly-owned social media company. Musk had earlier said that the labels were a waste of screen space and computing power. He had said that the labels didn't make any sense and did not serve any purpose. Musk retweeted a post from Pubity, by writing "Hallelujah!!" 

The labels Twitter for iPhone and Twitter for Android have have led to quite a few comedic situations over the years. Israeli actress Gal Gadot, in the year 2018, shot an advertisement for the Chinese company Huawei. The advertisement was for a phone manufactured by Huawei. She posted the advertisement on Twitter and ironically, her tweet had the label which read "Twitter for iPhone". This led to several people making a meme on Gal Gadot. 

Musk mocks Bezos 

Meanwhile, Elon Musk is using the platform to mock Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. A user called Kim Dotcom wrote "Elon builds rockets Jeff copies Elon. Elon builds electric cars Jeff copies Elon Elon builds brain-computer link Jeff copies Elon… … with Bill who copied Steve". Musk replied to the Tweet by writing "Maybe it’s a coincidence". There are many areas in which Bezos and Musk are competitors. The few areas in which Musk and Bezos compete are: 

Space exploration: Both Bezos and Musk have companies that are involved in the space industry. Bezos' company, Blue Origin, is focused on developing reusable rockets and building a space tourism business.
