If Apple & Google boot Twitter from their app stores, @elonmusk
 should produce his own smartphone. Half the country would happily ditch the biased, snooping iPhone & Android. The man builds rockets to Mars, a silly little smartphone should be easy, right?

Would you switch to a tELONphone? Vote yes or no with your best pun for a name below.

I certainly hope it does not come to that, but, yes, if there is no other choice, I will make an alternative phone

I’d switch phones.

Especially if it takes care of tracking...

Hmm. I wonder what he’d call it.

The Faraday?

The Marconi?

The Edison?
