It’s like these authors go out of their way to be as inaccurate as possible and brag about it.

It’s no big deal. The takeover deal has been signed already with a $1 Billion fee if Musk doesn’t follow through.
Not sure what you are freaking about.

Billion dollar media corporations don’t need any stinking editors that they might have to pay $50,000/year salaries for.

I think promising to pay over $40 billion for Twitter is a silly idea.

Did Musk obtain professional acquisition advice?

Fortunately it’s not your money.
Its Musk’s money. He can do what he likes with it.

PBS has an article that noted that the European Union will have its say in the way the site is run.

Why would people be downloading Twitter when many people are already a member. Therefore, how many are downloading Twitter or Truth social is not a good indicator.

Because Facebook for example, has a massive 2.9 Billion users, while Twitter has only just over 200 million daily uses.
Twitter needs to grow a lot to catch up

The EU should be worrying more about Russia cutting off their natural gas supplies than about Twitter.

Has anyone here tried Truth Social? I checked it out once, just kind of glancing through it, and didn't like it.

If anyone here has used it, I would genuinely like to know what you thought.

Truth Social STILL Does not run on a PC or and Android phone. What the hell is wrong with that? Why can’t they write the code in Xamerin and target ALL platforms? This is as bad as the ObamaCare website launch.

It is an extremely difficult project and getting it to run on a single product this quickly is a great accomplishment.

So damn critical and so little patience is the sign of a selfish and weak person.

If the shoe fits...maximize it.

I see this as more Musk tweaking what will soon be his woke twitter employees. Hell is coming to the snowflake cartel that embedded itself there and Elon is bringing it.

Seems like a strange stat to dig on. Most people who want them already have Twitter and TikTok. Truth Social is new and has a new customer base.

Truth Social is the only social media I use other than Free Republic.

I like it and it’s constantly improving as it gets built out. People are mostly nice and civil with each other and Patriots are in the majority.

Those here carping from the sidelines about it being “dead on arrival” because it’s not yet available to every platform after just two months disappoint me. The Teddy Roosevelt speech about the man in the ring comes to mind.
