Apple’s new Twitter strategy enthralled Elon Musk and MrBeast
Apple TV, seizing the opportunity presented by Twitter’s extended video capabilities, recently uploaded the first episode of its latest sci-fi show, Silo, on the platform (@AppleTV). This move enables any Twitter user to watch the opening episode for free, gradually building anticipation as the season progresses toward its finale. Apple’s decision to make this move became possible due to Twitter’s recent allowance of two-hour-long videos, exclusively available to Twitter Blue members.
Elon Musk, upon discovering Apple TV’s initiative, expressed his admiration, stating, “Watch the entire first episode on this platform. Great move by Apple.” Musk, aware that Twitter lacks a dedicated app for televisions, recommended users to AirPlay the video on supported smart TVs. Additionally, Android users can play the video on the app and mirror it on their TVs. Such an approach is expected to inspire other over-the-top (OTT) platforms to showcase their latest original content through Twitter.
Joining the discussion, MrBeast, a prominent figure on YouTube, also praised Apple TV’s decision. He remarked, “Really is a smart move, I never would have heard of this show and now I’m watching episode 1 and invested lol” MrBeast’s endorsement highlights the power of leveraging Twitter as a promotional platform, enabling content creators to reach new audiences and generate interest in their productions.
