Elon's response :
"Whoever thought owning the libs would be cheap never tried to acquire a social media company!"
What Trump said yesterday :
"Only a stupid person would buy Twitter for that price, and Elon is not a stupid person. Besides, how can the deal go through when he may have illegally bought his shares? Would be very unfair to all of those shareholders, past, present, and future, who got “screwed.” I appreciate the offer, but I will never go back to Twitter. I love TRUTH!"
What Trump said is perfectly acceptable and true. For those of you getting the vapors, the fainting couch is in the ladies room.
[Ridiculous. It’s a joke.]
“ Wow! the blood thirsty Ukrainian war lords are joining together to trash Trump.”
ROFL !
My first thought is what is this idiocy, Trump should leave well enough alone.
Yes, and 99.8% of the Twitter "interaction" was venom and hate directed towards Trump. Most of it by bots most likely.
I know. I was there. It was so bad that I never even looked at the comments on a Trump Tweet. On Truth Social however, I'm able to interact with normal people.
Trump has essentially been incommunicado relative to the voice he had before his Twitter ban. His use of Truth Social, to date, has had zero impact upon debate in the country. Truth Social will most likely fail if Musk carries out the assumed reintroduction of equal speech on Twitter.
sorry but I hate echo chambers, and that’s what that truth social thing is. I’ll stick to twitter
Also, we are months away from Musk taking over Twitter - if it even happens.
I was on Twitter a year ago, and left it.
I went back last month and less than a month was Permanently suspended. I think because I dissed Moochelle.
Tying to deactivate my account but the wokatarians are delaying the process.
No, that is not a logic read between the lines at all. Your analysis ignores the facts & the timing. The deal just was put on hold Thu/Fri by Musk because Twitter looks like they have many more bots than they admitted so the company is worth substantially less. When that came out the stock price did a big nose dive. Musk has said that the actual % of bots needs to be documented.
Many people feel that Musk knew this would happen and did the offer to expose twitter’s bias & left wing ties. Apparently there is a large influx of money from our Government agencies and liberal associations that use Twitter to control and drive messaging.
If Musk buys twitter it will be for a better price. Otherwise he will walk away. Twitter has very little intrinsic value, it has never been profitable. Musk may indeed want to change the direction & culture of twitter and he may have ideas that will generate a profit.
The idea of twitter being a success & hurting truth social ix ridiculous. There is room for more than one social network and Twitter followers are not the people that would join truth social or visa versa. Trump was being very matter of fact. With the revelation of the bots the deal has changed and Trump respects Musk enough to know he will not be lead to be shorn. The deal has to make sense or Musk will walk away.
What is your handle on Truth Social?
You are kidding right? Truth Social will rise or fall on merits, just as Twitter will. Competition improves the market place & there is more than one successful company in almost every niche.
He wasn’t nasty at all. This thread is filled with people trying to foment an enmity that isn’t there.
Yea, among other things. Don't think your posts are anonymous......
If you bothered to read there is concern about the share purchases and the SEC is investigating. They may put the kibosh on the deal. It has to do with the % interest Musk had amassed before he made the offer. Elon Musk revealed his 9.6% stake in Twitter 10 days after he should have.
The latest reporting suggest that there may be only a fine but Trump was just stating that there is some irregularity that is being ironed out which is perfectly correct.

I think Elon’s tweet precedes Trump’s.
Wonder why Elon called Trump “divisive?”
Trump tries to bring people together.
Trump gets the left’s back up because he calls them out. To people interested in no waves kumbaya that’s divisive.
Just to set the record straight POTUS Trump encouraged Musk to buy Twitter. All of your imputed pettiness and spite on Trump’s part .... puff up in smoke.
