What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

And there it is

Probably the most money spent in history for such a small thing - but I wonder if this admission will erode his attempt to secure Closing on the deal. He requires other peoples money to secure the buy.

But now Trump has already said he wouldn't come back to Twitter, so either he basically abandons Troth Ssencial and returns to Twitter, or he sticks to shouting into the empty void of his own platform.

Donald potentially doing something he openly said he wouldn't do? Surely not.....

Musk has no interest in buying Twitter, its just a pump and dump they cried in unison.

Musk has no intention of letting Trump back on Twitter they cried in unison.

Well guess what ..

Elon just called Twitter's decision to ban Trump in January 2021 a "mistake."

"I do think it was not correct to ban Donald Trump, I think that was a mistake," Musk said. "I would reverse the perma-ban. ... But my opinion, and Jack Dorsey, I want to be clear, shares this opinion, is that we should not have perma-bans."

Dorsey following Musk's remarks that he does "agree" there shouldn't be permanent bans on Twitter users. "There are exceptions ... but generally permanent bans are a failure of ours and don't work," he said.

What way to spin this I wonder ?

"Covid was the catalyst BLM and the Democrats used to stoke division and increase turnout in the younger and black voter."

Nonsense. Trump was a racist. Stephen Miller was a racist. That kind of motivated minorities.

Don't forget, he got impeached too.

You must be very proud of your golden idol. What a win. He did it!!! He (maybe) beat the libtards. All it took was a multi billionaire to (maybe) spend billions to buy twitter to put him back on. Genius. What a true American hero. How does he do it!!!!???!!! He IS amazing.

If he is back on twitter then, yes, I will say I was wrong. Absolutely. I have no problems admitting that. I won't bury my head in the sand and ignore every question about my thoughts on a traitorous, homophobic, racist, sexist,terrorist-supporting, dictator-supporting, america-hating, insurrection-instigating, lying, cheating, hustling sexual predator. No problem.

But anyway.

I mentioned previously that I am genuinely interested to see how this goes. Politics aside. Twitter or Facebook or YouTube or any other social media platform needs moderation. Simply to cover their assess. Trump and his... Fans have already been proven to use social media and other platforms to spread known lies. I think we can ALL agree on that, yes? And so have people across the spectrum. But these platforms suspend and ban these people, not for some ideal, but simply to protect themselves.

Let's say Musk fulfills his promise of zero moderation (which he had already backed away from). But let's say he removes all moderation. What happens? Twitter suddenly becomes a platform for lies. From all directions. Now you have a platform that is SUPPORTING known lies. Which means that they are liable. Which means they are in the firing line for law suits.

I think it is a VERY bad business decision. If not handled correctly it will turn into a pariah. The next 4chan or 8chan or whatever and all it takes is another competitor and people will flock to that. Remember Bebo? Remember MySpace? Hell, remember Facebook? Lol.

As I said, Musk has already quantified and pulled back from his zero moderation promise. Assuming that trump is let back onto Twitter now that someone else bought it for him, what do you think will happen when he says something libelous? When Twitter have to cover their assess and remove the tweet? How soon before he and his... Fans round on twitter (again) like the armed and dangerous snowflakes they are?

As I said, I am curious to see how this unfolds over the next couple of years. Assuming everything goes ahead.

So no spin. If he goes back to Twitter then I was wrong. But what will happen to Twitter if it just turns into hate speech? How quickly will it loose its shine? How soon before the top Twitter celebrities realise that their image is being tarnished by being associated with a platform of hate and they move? What will happen when all the top hitters take all their followers and revenue streams elsewhere?

This may not happen but, without moderation, it will descend into hate from all directions. Very strange business decision if he goes through with it

Couldn't give a toss about Twitter, or Trump, or Musk, and it's quite telling that his mindless entourage are so enraptured about this non-event. But I'd actually like to see a completely unmoderated Twitter, and watch it descend into something like 4Chan or an even worse version of that. It'd be quite funny to watch the meltdown, the excuses, and the subsequent rollbacks.

As for Trump getting kicked off of the platform, it could hardly be any surprise that a guy who spread seditious lies about a "stolen election", which was instrumental in the build up to the capitol riots, would have his right to post revoked.

Can't be POTUS. He was born in South Africa. I think it's just blatant share price manipulation, he should be quiet about his plans are during an acquisition.

being south african born to non-us parents might make that a tad difficult.

Which is a pity for the GQP. The ULTIMATE African American: A white billionaire!!

Well, Trump's approval rating went up when people couldn't hear from him, so by that logic, I'd be happy for him to get his account back.

He'll scupper his own re-election chances.... again

Oh oh, Seems like Musk isn't quite the saviour of Trump return to Twitter as the like of Mister would have us believe.

How the **** is this guy still walking around?
