My only source of concern regarding Musk’s buyout: The timing is just as Trumps site is taking off. I would assume that Twitter “appearing” to end their cancelling MO would take the wind out of Trump’s site’s sails. And if it then fades, Twitter can return to its “evil ways.”
But I’ve just become such a skeptic the last 20 years...
I don’t see Musk as a globalist true believer.
I think he’s a Libertarian that actually believes in free speech.
I also don’t think Truth Social is a competitor to Twitter.
Truth Social is for people that are already Trump people and probably lib trolls.
Twitter has far greater reach and could convert some middle ground people.
In the end votes matter.
If you think there’s no hope of winning because of fraud, spare me your negativity.
that’s why I kept saying if Trump doesnt return, I dont either. He didnt make Truth Social for nothing. I read somewhere he gains followers on TS 40,000 per hour.
The financial part of the buyout is going to take about 6 months. Right around Nov mid-terms election. I don’t know how much control Musk will have between now and then so it’s possible twitter won’t even have free speech before the mid-terms.
Some people have been going back to twitter but I think they just quit posting when Trump got banned.(Mark Levin) I haven’t seen any high profile banned accounts return yet like MTG’s personal account, BabylonBee, Robert Malone. Tucker Carlson is back and was banned but I don’t know to what degree the ban was. Sometimes you can get back on by deleting an offending tweet so the Tucker account may have just done that.
