Terrible Name:’ Elon Musk Mocks Donald Trump’s Truth Social
Breitbart ^ | 04/27/2022 | Alana Mastrangelo

Elon Musk took to Twitter, the platform he will soon own, to mock Donald Trump’s social media platform Truth Social. Musk tweeted that Trump’s platform has a “terrible name,” and “should be called Trumpet instead!” Musk’s criticism comes after he pointed out that Truth Social, launched as a Twitter alternative, has passed Twitter on a ranking of “Top Apps” in Apple’s app store.

It’s not the greatest name, but it’s OK. “True the Vote” is a terrible name. Many conservatives have no aesthetic sense

Sounds like some healthy sparring. That can be good for business and the industry.

I agree. Trumpet would be a much better name.

Trumpet is a better name. Good suggestion.

Trump will eventually leave the dumpster fire of TruthSocial for Twitter.

Truth Social isn’t a bad name, it’s simply hard to say! The th doesn’t flow easily in the s, leaving the pronunciation a tad jerky jerky. Trumpet would be better.

He is right! I made this point myself day one when the name came out.

That’s because we label things as they are and not from a marketable sense.

Yes, I agree. But while he has a vested interest, he’ll have to play along even though it’s a total failure.

He's right, and his tone seems friendly enough. Trumpet is a better name, and Trump is likely kicking himself that he didn't think of it himself.

Kind of funny, actually.

And many French speakers cannot make a "th" sound at all!

He never even showed up. He's posted once, over two months ago, and that's it.

Change two letters and then it’s Trump Social.

I agree, sounds like a joke to me. Trumpet would be cutesy and subjected to endless ridicule.

awful name, much too heavy for socials.
I’m guessing it will be a hub for GOP fundraising. The whole fun of socials is sparring with the other side... echo chambers are boring
