    "'cuz that's what we're talking about here - Trump tweeting at the courtesy of the king. If Trump uses Elon Musk's service, he's using Elon Musk's service. He is kissing the fucking ring. Now will he?

If Trump even decides to create a new Twitter account, he will be admitting the failure of his new Twitter startup copycat... of which I cannot even be fuckin bothered to remember the name of. But it has failed, and Trump is at the helm.

Is he then going to go to Musk's Twitter?!?

Well... yes. Yes, he will. Because it is easier to shit on someone else's property than to cultivate your own land.

Nevermind.

Who knows? No one. Does it matter? No. Everyone freaked balls when Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post without recognizing that the power move is to own it and leave it the fuck alone so that when they criticize you, you can be hipster about it. Buy Twitter only to be censored by Twitter? I mean it basically moves you from "opponent" to "DM playing an NPC" in any online feud he gets into; Moot and kn0thing did the exact same shit.

18 comments in and I ain't seen nuthin' what justifies "trump on twitter nau = trump on twitter then." Motivations, skullduggery, political affiliation, I don't care what you throw at it, there's a lot of alarmism here and not a lot of reason.

I'm just looking forward to the death of Twitter. I have been since the day it launched.

And I can be patient.
