Twitter Loses $5 BILLION in Market Share as Stock TUMBLES After Platform Bans President Trump
The DC Patriot ^ | 11 Jan 21

Posted on 01/11/2021 11:15:13 AM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

It looks as though Big Tech is learning a very staunch financial lesson on your Monday morning. Twitter has now lost over $5 billion in market share since opening bell on Monday, as the tech giant faces major backlash after banning President Trump.

The massive fall is following the platforms banning of President Donald Trump, General Michael Flynn, Lin Wood, Sindey Powell, and a slew of other high profile conservatives the site banned in the last 72 hours.

Banning the leader of the free world is not only a violation of the 1st amendment, but part of yet another coup by big tech corporations and the Democrats to try to illegally remove Trump from office.

The President who had more than 88 million followers gave the platform a massive influx of supporters and revenue from their tweets and content.

Twitter stock has fell by 12% so far and counting, the share-price decline wiped $5 billion from Twitter’s market capitalization.

Will other tech companies realize that banning one of the most popular President’s in history is a bad career move? Or will they continue to try to ban conservatives and end free speech in America?

I can do without Amazon, too.

I regularly buy on Amazon but have resolved to not buy anything on Amazon for the next 30 days. I will see after that.

Everyone should suspend all purchases from Amazon.

Crash Twitter, Crash. Is that fomenting violence? After all, a crash is sometimes violent. Jeez, I should watch what I post on these public forums, as someone might mistake me for a Democrat.

We need Twitter to go out of business.

Can we find some Russian hackers to take them offline. Like forever?

the internet (or any mega company really) functions on the idea that we can’t live without them.

Conservatives need to see Jack Dorsey on a street corner banging his tin cup against the cement for nickels to buy a pot to p*ss in. I wouldn’t mind seeing Jack Dorsey at a pawn shop trying to sell that nasty nose ring to buy a loaf of white bread...you know...the cheap stuff. Like Sunbeam or Great Value.
