I consider Twitter to be bad for journalism overall in that so many stories just end up being what people are saying on Twitter.

Yeah, that's not what I was referring to. I don't have any examples of what I am talking about because I've been basically off Twitter for quite a while now so I probably shouldn't try to push this angle too much.

Anyway.

That's not going to make Trump happy. I wonder if Elon is mad at him for not coming back to Twatter after being reinstated?

That just made me check the price on DWAC stock, which is supposed to take Truth Social public. $13.29 per share.
 
Cool! I wonder if Trump will announce his presidential run with Rudy Giuliani or someone like that. What’s that!? He’s already announced? Announce again!

"I had the best announcement, with all the world's press in attendance, the biggest announcement from any candidate in the history of the world. All channels on every continent showed it live. Billions watched my perfect announcement, more than any other announcement and DeSanctimonious announced his on a failing social media site alongside a failed businessman watched by no one. They are both losers."
 
Musk needs to be careful nailing himself to DeSantis. Trump is still the beloved of the mob and mobs can always turn.

It's revenge against Trump for not returning to Twitter. There's no ideological union between Musk and DeSantis, it's Musk's ego trying to punch back at Trump.

I'm not convinced there's no ideological union between Musk and DeSantis. I think a lot of Musk fans who still imagine themselves to be left-leaning will latch onto that idea as a get-out-of-cognitive-dissonance-free card, but I haven't seen evidence to suggest any ideological incompatibility between the two.

Trump can't return to Twitter due to a legal contractual obligation. He absolutely would if he could, in a minute.

Musk has explicitly said he supports Republicans now because apparently Democrats are nasty compared to GOP. Pretty much all of his friends are explicit supporters of the Republicans. Look, he even brought that idiot Dave Rubin round the Twitter offices to interrogate his own engineers about why cattiurd’s account wasn’t more popular and after finding no evidence it was throttled tried to boost the profile. Rubin is a self-hating gay who performatively moved to Florida to support DeSantis.
 
The Musk/DeSantis Space is happening now, I just saw on Elon Musk's Twitter feed. No time to check it out. Just a heads-up if you feel like poking your eyes out.
 
Those Commie libtards at the Grainiad are covering it with their usual Marxist sneering….

This odd launch to DeSantis’s campaign has partly become an advertisement for Twitter.

Musk and Sacks played off the glitches on Twitter as DeSantis “breaking the internet”. It’s unclear why Twitter didn’t anticipate 500,000 listeners for a presidential announcement.

See! They broke the internet. The whole internet - created by the government so no wonder it it breaking. Not Twitter! Twitter is definitely not now understaffed and/or badly run.

This is so winning that the internet itself is sick of the winning.

I think that once he's burned a bridge, he would be resistant to coming back to it, because that would require him admitting to himself that he made a mistake. He is incapable of that.
 
Surprised to see anyone thinking Trump will be held back by contracts or looking like a hypocrite. He won’t care if he literally does the opposite thing he said he would five minutes ago. He would just deny he ever said what he is being held accountable for.

Almost his entire political life involves doing things that he criticized in previous tweets. He is not bound by truth. He is a ********ter. This is what he does.
 
Some audio from the event. It was a disaster. Apparently they had 3 guys in the same physical room using microphones for this and nobody realized that one person's vocals would be picked up on another mic. They could have hired a teenager with a crummy podcast as a consultant to explain this stuff to them.

Unrelated to today's festivities: Someone has posted the entirety of John Wick 4 on Twitter. It was posted in the middle of a Wednesday. It's been up for 10 hours.

Jesus Christ! That's exactly how I would expect a presidential candidacy announcement to sound from someone nicknamed Pudding Fingers.
