Twitter!

EXCLUSIVE: Former President Trump will not return to Twitter, even as Elon Musk purchases the social media company and reinstates his account, instead using his own TRUTH Social as the sole platform for his voice.

More... (https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-will-not-return-to-twitter-even-if-elon-musk-purchases-platform-will-begin-using-his-truth-social)


"I am not going on Twitter, I am going to stay on TRUTH," Trump told Fox News. "I hope Elon buys Twitter because he'll make improvements to it and he is a good man, but I am going to be staying on TRUTH."


If you're a Twitter shareholder, congratulations. So sorry, though, if you bought stock in DWAC (https://www.google.com/finance/quote/DWAC:NASDAQ?comparison=NYSE%3ATWTR%2CINDEXNASDAQ%3 A.IXIC&window=1Y). Trump is the only reason that anybody uses Truth Social. He started it because he was kicked off Twitter. Now that Musk owns Twitter and says he may offer a way for banned people to be reinstated, I predict that Trump will abandon his investors and make Truth Social worthless. Twitter is an addiction he won't be able to resist.

It's up to Musk, of course. Does he want to knock out a competitor and increase the popularity of his newly acquired company, which reinstating Trump would do? Or does he want to please uptight advertisers, who would be uncomfortable with Trump's return to social media?..


Mr. Musk said this spring that as owner of Twitter he would reinstate former President Donald Trump's account, which the platform suspended indefinitely after linking Mr. Trump's comments to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. That would be a red line for some brands, said Kieley Taylor, global head of partnerships at GroupM, a leading ad-buying agency that represents blue-chip brands.

About a dozen of GroupM's clients, which own an array of well-known consumer brands, have told the agency to pause all their ads on Twitter if Mr. Trump's account is reinstated, Ms. Taylor said. Others are in wait-and-see mode. Ms. Taylor said she expects to hear from many more clients if Mr. Trump's account returns.

Musk posted a message on Twitter to advertisers (https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1585619322239561728), saying that it is important that Twitter allow a "wide range of beliefs to be debated," while preventing Twitter from becoming a "free-for-all hellscape." There's a lot of acreage between those points.


Trump needs to find a way to returning to Twitter without harming his investors and without suffering the ignominy of having another of his companies go bankrupt. Normally, the answer would be to talk Musk into buying Truth Social, even if at a big discount. But since Trump made blistering comments (https://www.reuters.com/world/us/its-time-trump-sail-into-sunset-says-musk-2022-07-12/) about Musk on Truth Social, which you probably missed, and at public rallies over the summer, which you probably heard about, Musk may not feel at all inclined to bail Trump out.

I'm not even going to touch the SEC investigations (https://nypost.com/2022/09/06/trump-back-off-truth-social-merger-with-blank-check-firm-after-sec-probe/) -- plural (https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/10/15/truth-social-trump-animosity-whistleblower/) -- around possible issues of fraud.

99% chance Trump ends up using a proxy account on Twitter that just reposts everything he says on Truth.

It will be run by his Latino cousin who until now preferred to remain unknown, Carlos Trump.

Kind of dumb of him not to just repost everything from Truth to Twitter. He could even make it so it says on the bottom of each tweet "Follow me on Truth Social!" or whatever.

[Methais]

If he's directly posting to Twitter, people would just stop using Truth now that Twitter is being cleaned up.

If it looks like "someone else" is posting all that on Twitter, which will happen anyway whether it's via a proxy account or just some third party whatever that has nothing to do with Trump besides that, then that probably wouldn't be the case, or at least not as bad, despite the end result effectively being the same.

And/or maybe Trump wants to see if the media will flock to Truth to shriek at him 24/7 once they're back in full butthurt mode if/when he announces he's running again.

Either way, being that Truth is his company, abandoning it, directly or indirectly, wouldn't be a good move

[joeyb]

lol truth social

i do hope that trump is unbanned from twitter. him crying all day about how mean everyone is to him was really entertaining

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

They would have probably quit anyways, now they get a severance.

I worked in HR and executive compensation for about 5 years. Executives, quitting or getting fired, most often get packages regardless. Only the most egregious violators truly get fired with no severance. Even then, I can't think of a single person who didn't get something at my company. Corporate America is all about getting the signature and making problems go away.

I loved how everyone is like "the world will end if Trump comes back to twitter", then then quote everything he's said on whatever his app is called and talk about trump on twitter.

Get more triggered.

I give it approximately 2 months before the Lefty "politicians" are trying to ban/limit/investigate/pass legislation against/destroy Twitter.

They're going to be pissed they lost a hold on "their" media platform.

Didn't even take 2 months. Only 2 weeks.

Dems lost their control over speech, suddenly have to investigate a guy that has done more for the world than any politician ever has.

Fascists/Socialists at work... but they'll tell you you're the fascist.

Trump still hasn't posted on Twitter since Musk restored his account yesterday. Will Trump be able to make it through the night? The itch to relapse must be overwhelming.

Returning to Twitter could be good for Trump's presidential campaign. In the past, Trump was able to use Twitter to control the media cycle. He could tweet something controversial, and it's the main thing everybody would talk about for the rest of the day. All he has to do is stab his investors in the back. It would be just like an addict stealing money from his grandmother to buy drugs. So easy, and so rewarding.

He has his own social media company. It would be foolish for him to use another one.

[Ardwen]

Contractually Trump has to wait 6 hours before reposting anything from Truth to Twitter and basically anything he does post has to be on truth first, no idea why he filed said documents with the SEC but that's what's happening, besides it isn't like no one reposts any of his stuff, lots of accounts, on the right and left seem to do nothign else.

Trump doesn't need to post on twitter. All the TDS folks do it for him after he posts on Truth.

Trump should post one Tweet that says "Join us on Truth Social!" and then vanish from Twitter again.

Seran would need therapy for weeks just from that.

At least Seran, in all his glorious retardation, hasn't been banned on these forums and forced to come back time and time again.. in some weird effort to "get even" with Kranar.

Seran is a bigger retard... but MacGuyver is a far bigger mess.

Elon Musk started a poll on Twitter asking if he should step down as the head of Twitter. He says he will abide by the results! He started the poll about an hour ago, and it only lasts 12 hours.

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1604617643973124097

He must realize his reign has been bad for the company, and he is looking for a way out.

If Musk had to choose a new CEO for Twitter from the participants in this forum, we all know who it would be. I don't think I have to mention that person's name. It would be someone smart, who speaks out assertively when behind a keyboard, who respects the terrible pressures that the world's richest man faces on a daily basis, and who will stand for any position his boss demands, as long as the pay is good.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — After posting a Twitter poll that seemed to indicate most Twitter users want him to step down from Twitter's leadership, Elon Musk has revealed that millions of mail-in ballots sent in yesterday confirmed most people want him to stay.


"Initially the poll seemed to indicate that the majority of users and bots wish me gone, but that was a mirage," said Musk as he emerged from a dark, windowless room with stacks of ballots. "It looks like we got an overnight dump of 2 million mail-in votes that all say they want me to stay in charge of Twitter! Imagine that! Vox Populi Vox Dei!"


The dump reportedly came after millions of people around the world realized they had missed the Twitter poll and desperately sent in hand-written appeals begging the eccentric billionaire to keep running Twitter. "Please Mr. Musk! Don't leave! Twitter is fun now! PLEASE!" read one earnest note.


Officials with the FBI are reportedly outraged that the mail-in results were enough to overturn their expensive Chinese bot farm and are demanding a recount.


Twitter users are being urged to accept the results of this "free, fair, and totally secure" election — unless they want to be given the shameful label of "election denier."

I'm using his own statements that the company is losing money, and no one would ever want to run it...because it's been heading the wrong direction. Also the whole fiasco of laying everyone off, only to beg them to come back...just to lay them off again.

apparently the only way to judge a company, is by their market share? that's retarded man. Even for you.

I realize the TDS has infected you severely over the past what... 6-7 years? But now you are just lashing out at Musk as your next "MEANIEHEAD!" for whatever reason.

I have no idea what you are talking about with the laying people off/rehiring them/laying the same people off... sounds like you might be stuck on a loop and you might require hard reset.

And who the fuck is even talking about market share? Are you fucking that blindly lashing out now, ala Seran, in hope you spew something that makes some sort of sense?

I only said sarcastically that Musk is obviously an abject business failure.. which he isn't.. but you are so upset you've lost all perspective on reality.

You sound retarded. Even for you.

Tesla boss Elon Musk has told staff not to worry about “stock market craziness” after the company’s share price fell by 70 percent over the past year. Tesla has been marked down both because of a global softening of demand for electric vehicles, as well as Musk’s self-indulgent decision to spend $44 billion on Twitter—largely paid for by selling Tesla stock.

Musk is sure lucky he sold his Tesla stock when he did. I'm sure the employees who kept their stock and lost 70% will be okay if they just don't worry about it.

Surprise the rest of the investors are stunned that Musky cashed out before the company crashed over his extremism and mismanagement. But it's okay, Tesla decided buyer's can now get full credit for Biden's electric vehicle incentive, his company will no longer keep half of it. Lawl

I realize the TDS has infected you severely over the past what... 6-7 years? But now you are just lashing out at Musk as your next "MEANIEHEAD!" for whatever reason.

I have no idea what you are talking about with the laying people off/rehiring them/laying the same people off... sounds like you might be stuck on a loop and you might require hard reset.

And who the fuck is even talking about market share? Are you fucking that blindly lashing out now, ala Seran, in hope you spew something that makes some sort of sense?

I only said sarcastically that Musk is obviously an abject business failure.. which he isn't.. but you are so upset you've lost all perspective on reality.

I haven't.

Here was your quote:


Also the whole fiasco of laying everyone off, only to beg them to come back...just to lay them off again.

And the headline you linked: "Twitter reportedly asking SOME fired employees return to work"

In the article you linked, it said that Twitter laid off about 3700 employees (about half of the 7500 employees) and asked "Dozens" to come back..

Just so we can get the fact straight...

1) Not all employees were laid off.
2) Not all employees that were laid off were asked to come back to work.
3) Not all employees that were laid off and then rehired were laid off again.

So.. you were trying to pay attention.. just got everything wrong.

Mounting a comeback for the White House, Donald Trump is looking to regain control over his powerful social media accounts.

With access to his Twitter account back, Trump's campaign is formally petitioning Facebook’s parent company to unblock his account there after it was locked in response to the U.S. Capitol riot two years ago.

It's exactly what I predicted in the very first post in this thread..

If you're a Twitter shareholder, congratulations. So sorry, though, if you bought stock in DWAC (https://www.google.com/finance/quote/DWAC:NASDAQ?comparison=NYSE%3ATWTR%2CINDEXNASDAQ%3 A.IXIC&window=1Y). Trump is the only reason that anybody uses Truth Social. He started it because he was kicked off Twitter. Now that Musk owns Twitter and says he may offer a way for banned people to be reinstated, I predict that Trump will abandon his investors and make Truth Social worthless. Twitter is an addiction he won't be able to resist.

And Facebook just allowed Trump back on FB and Instagram.

Bravo for free speach advocates!. Now lets hope Trump keeps his big mouth shut and lets his policy speak for him.

In recent weeks, Musk has been obsessed with the amount of engagement his posts are receiving. Last week, Platformer broke the news that he fired one of two remaining principal engineers at the company after the engineer told him that views on his tweets are declining in part because interest in Musk has declined in general.

His deputies told the rest of the engineering team this weekend that if the engagement issue wasn’t “fixed,” they would all lose their jobs as well.

More... (https://www.platformer.news/p/yes-elon-musk-created-a-special-system)


By Monday afternoon, “the problem” had been “fixed.” Twitter deployed code to automatically “greenlight” all of Musk’s tweets, meaning his tweets will bypass Twitter’s filters designed to show people the best content possible. The algorithm now artificially boosted Musk’s tweets by a factor of 1,000 – a constant score that ensured his tweets rank higher than anyone else’s in the feed.

Internally, this is called a “power user multiplier,” although it only applies to Elon Musk, we’re told. The code also allows Musk’s account to bypass Twitter heuristics that would otherwise prevent a single account from flooding the core ranked feed, now known as “For You.”

Thousands of automated bot accounts on Twitter have worked over the last eleven months to boost former president Donald Trump and attack his critics and 2024 competition, according to a new report.

Cyabra, an Israeli tech firm, told the Associated Press it discovered a network of fake accounts that appear to have been created within the U.S. by an unknown entity.

The bots have targeted former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley, who is running against Trump for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, as well as Florida governor Ron DeSantis, who is widely seen as Trump’s most formidable 2024 opponent despite having not yet joined the race.

The actually real reason why EV sales have fallen? The largest EV maker by volume Tesla has recalled just about every vehicle they've ever produced for spontaneous combustion, semi autonomous driving failures, and now steering wheels falling off while the car is in motion. Consumers want an affordable EV, but not one that'll falls apart within months due to shitty manufacturing standards.



The Real Reason Why Automakers Slashed EV Prices

The global electric vehicle (EV) market is reeling from one of the most dramatic collapses in monthly sales to date, with Rystad Energy research showing that only 672,000 units were sold in January, almost half of December 2022 sales and a mere 3% year-on-year increase over January 2022. The EV market share among all passenger car sales also tumbled to 14% in January, well down on the 23% seen in December.

EV sales have been on a relatively consistent upward trajectory in recent years – aside from periods impacted by Covid-19 pandemic-related supply chain issues – and a significant collapse in sales is worrying news for the industry. Tax credits and government subsidies have propped up the EV market to date as countries identify passenger car fleet electrification as a core tactic for meeting net-zero emissions goals, but the reduction or removal of these subsidies this year has dampened consumer sentiment. Automakers are now scrambling to reverse the downward spiral and salvage the market in 2023.

lol at Seran thinking recalls mean anything.

I've had my car for 10 years (not an electric vehicle) and it has had a recall just about every single year I have owned. Some years have had 2 recalls. Recalls generally aren't a big deal.

And electric vehicle batteries exploding? Literally EVERY SINGLE auto maker will have this problem because that's the nature of these batteries. Remember when cell phones exploding was all the rage?

It's like you want all of this "free" energy without realizing the cost to make the batteries, the materials required which pollute the planet more than oil does, or the inherent danger of driving around with that many batteries on your car which can explode.

It's okay to look at all of that and say yeah, yeah it's still worth the risk, but don't sit there and act like none of that even happens and it's all just a conspiracy theory or something. The only real conspiracy theorists anymore are leftists who think the largely peaceful protest at the capitol was really a dangerous insurrection.

but understanding that what we are talking about here is wage theft in business would require you to understand this thing called "context", which is obviously too much for you to handle

lol

Tell us you know absolutely nothing about business without telling us you know absolutely nothing about business....

Stick to subjects you are good at: being a pathetic excuse of a "man" that you have to get your wife dates so she can finally get off.

The somewhat "newcommer" is vying to get a bout for the title. They are new on this journey and have many lesser bouts before they can even attempt a title bout.

It only works that way in your "OMG I AM BEING OPPRESSED! OMG I AM BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF!" mentality of lazy, unskilled fucks like you. Instead of trying to better yourself or your situation, you cry victim and blame everyone else for your shitty lot in life.

He's not a new comer.. he's been banned more than anyone here.. but in his "I AM GOING TO MAKE KRANER RUE THE DAY HE BANNED ME!" attempt to create multiple logins over the year one thing remains: His stupidity always comes through. MacGayver is so easy to spot.

He's retarded for sure... but banned so often that he will never be in the running for the Retard Championship.

Seran can rest easy currently... as he is the GOAT.

I wonder, how terrible of a human being must you be to get banned from the PC? What did he do to earn Kraner’s ban?

I think it was the spamming of large high def files in reputation comments, that would brick up peoples phones, that got him the ban.

Well he's not Ashliana level of terrible human being.. but he's right down there in the sewer.

I think he was just being a useless waste and trolling.. warned several times to stop and he couldn't.. so he got banned.. and now we see him rear his beta cuck head up here constantly on a number of other logins in some weird effort to "get even" with Kranar for banning him.. instead of just moving on to somewhere else.

it literally works that way in reality. i get that you are probably sundowning right now, but read up on how a business makes money(by exploiting labor) in a capitalist system if you ever have a moment of clarity.

I realize you have absolutely nothing going for you whatsoever.. and you have only seen business from a minimum wage side.. but I can assure you that is not how businesses work.

If you ever were able to hold down a job for more than a few weeks.. you would probably understand a little better.
