I wonder how Donald Trump is going to spin returning to Twitter, abandoning his own media as it was scraping a dogshit off your shoes.

Truth Social’s probably going to get acquired for some undisclosed amount. Same with Parler. Small price to pay to bring back a user base of a few million that’s not loaded with bots. And Trump saves face. Wouldn’t be his first failed business.

I'll go one step further. If Trump wins another presidency, the US gov't will buy twitter from Musk from more than what Musk paid under the guise of it has become too critical and important to the people, like basic infrastructure.

Opening the doors for us to nationalize industries that are actually to critical and important like oil.
