getting on Twitter would be both admitting the failure of his "Truth Social" and bowing down to Elon fucking Musk

we'll see

Both un-American fascist pos. Come to think of it Musk gave support to the Texas anti-choice pos law?

I like to do word puzzles and whenever the word lie or liar comes up I think of him.

You know he can’t wait to get back on Twitter. He’s probably creaming his pants right now waiting the day he can return.

3. The consequences on Twitter are that you, I, and millions of others can

call BS on posts we don’t like.

Skittles is correct, that trump says he’s not interested in Twitter. That might change, of course.

But, we still get to post in opposition, and call him out, unless of course you take your ball and go home.

7. I'm fine with their decision. Think it's a myopic reaction, though. Best response

seems to be: “I’ll be posting rebuttals to any of trump’s BS.” Same for anything else we don’t like.

I understand why people feel the need to deletenit right now, but share your view that it's myopic.

10. That has nothing to do with anything. Staying on twitter gives support to a fascist pos

You're full of shit when you say things of trump bs, then you make excuses for a message platform whose owner is the same kind of fascist pos.

I think it's clear that musk is a putin apologist. He's already apologist for trump.

12. He overpaid

I assume at some point he's going to want to earn a return on Twitter. I fee pretty confidence that Elon Musk is not $40+ billion liquid. I'm some hungry banker and some idiot banks will finance this. That would be such overkill debt. I'm sure I don't have all the detail but I can't imagine this would be an easy transaction for the banks looking at financing this, because I doubt Elon Musk is that liquid.
