    I doubt Trump being back on Twitter will change much. If anything it might hurt Trump more as it will remind more people why they didn't like him.

    Because he is an oligarch who would love Trump giving him billions in government funding to fly his rockets, while getting millions in tax breaks. That good 'ole rich stroking the rich and powerful for favors in return.

    when trump gets elected in 24, it should reset his term limit so he can run for reelection in 28.

    So buying 9% of Twitter allows someone to have policy control?

    There's nothing the liberals hate more than free speech. The normies need to have the newscasters tell them what to think with no challenges whatsoever.

    Read the fine print. Twitter brought him on to help navigate the platform. Elon is twitters 5th biggest customer. Of the top 5, he is the obvious choice for a capitalist company if you want to monetize it to full capacity.

    Elon could legit become CEO in a couple years.

    Just like Rogan is to Spotify, musk will be to witter.

    The irony is the liberal outrage is what makes his supporters like him. He is not a republican.

    Not sure why anyone would think Trump should be allowed back?

    Did Trump repeatedly violate ToS agreements even after warnings? Yes.

    Were the repercussions clearly spelled out? Yes.

    There shouldn't be any complications. He broke the rules repeatedly. Who here doesn't like accountability?

    I agree that's probably true.

    It's also an incredibly stupid reason to support a candidate.

    I hope he ends up never getting to run for office. The dude was worse than Nixon in his coverups and corruption. If he avoids any type prosecution for leading the coup and destroying records then this country then the justice system is broken and Democracy as we know it will be destroyed.

    Twitter is a corporation. They can change the rules whenever they want.

    But they didn't change them on Trump. He violated the unchanged rules. He did so repeatedly.

    Sure they can change the rules. But Twitter has been successful. I'm not sure how much they would want to change the rules for the person who lost.

    Twitter is up ~200% from inception. Compared to some of the other large tech stocks, that isn't a great ROI. Twitter needs to do something. And there is a massive monetization opportunity. Even if it means relaxing on some of their strict standards.

    Trump never violated their terms. Twitter has a bizarre custom of banning people for opposing their specific political points that absurdly only applies to domestic issues. Which is why so many international terrorists remain on Twitter, yet conservatives were banned for accurately saying that Hunter Biden's laptop was legitimate. Turns out, conservatives were 100% right and liberals were once again duped by the deep state's propaganda. Normies are so naive.

    "Trump’s false or misleading claims total 30,573 over 4 years."

    Don't respond you're blocked but I sometimes like to see how the party of pedophiles think.

    LOL, "False claims" as determined in the sole discretion of liberal geeks in San Francisco... "False claims" that just so happen to turn out to be true over time...

    True there is a lot of that.

    That said one thing we heard even from many of his supporters during his first Campaign and presidency was that they didn’t like his tweets. It made for some very uncomfortable and awkward response from many in Congress when asked about them.

    Trump being kicked off Twitter helped his image as people quickly forgot a lot of what he was posting. Once he’s back rage tweeting at 3 AM all of that will be back.
