Twitter was told it was "bounced" from Wednesday's meeting between tech executives and President-elect Donald Trump in retribution for refusing during the campaign to allow an emoji version of the hashtag #CrookedHillary, according to a source close to the situation.
Twitter is one of the few major U.S. tech companies not represented at Wednesday afternoon's Trump Tower meeting attended by, among others, Apple's Tim Cook, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg and Tesla's Elon Musk an omission all the more striking because of Trump's heavy dependence on the Twitter platform. With some 17.3 million followers of his account, the president-elect has made Twitter into the de facto press channel of his transition operation.

I’m on Gab now...I still have twitter, only read it now...
Gab is a lot better, there are things that are different, but I like it a lot better...
I don’t think twitter will be around very long...especially since they didn’t either get invited or show up...
It’s not nice to not play nice with the Boss...
Twitter plays games by suppressing trends they don’t agree with, so scroom.
Ha ha Twitter
True. Yet Donald does not need Twitter. Quite the opposite. Twitter needs Donald.
Same with Google. The lies and Fake News that Google was responsible for should not be forgotten. Or forgiven.
I’m in that photo.

.@realDonaldTrump to tech leaders: 'This is truly an amazing group of people...I'm here to help you folks do well'
If (and that’s a big unsubstantiated and unsourced if) this is true, the headline was crafted by the writer or her editors to make this sound like a juvenile, petty move. While that fits the progressive left’s dearly held narrative, it most likely isn’t the truth.
That’s an important job!
Prez Trump playing hardball - i wonder if twitter will ban him?
Besides, all of the rest of those hi-tech invitees head economic powerhouses and twitter is foundering financially. No point meeting with losers.
That one this with Trump do not renege on a business deal with him ...
apparently Twitter backed out on something it already basically agreed to do
Twitter is how Trump gets all his supporters to show up at the rallies in short notice. It’s a good thing :)

I REALLY like how Trump doesn’t sit at the head of the table, but instead positions himself at the center, both to listen to everyone equally and to show that no matter where he sits, he’s the center.
