Emily BellTrump back on Twitter seems to me to be proof of the adage you can’t step in the same river twice. TikTok is moving inexorably to take over the ephemeral social space from Twitter and Facebook et al and he’s not there. There is no third rail to electrify the popularity of a septuagenarian bigot this time round now. Time moves on. But the fact that an individual who tried to overturn democracy and incited domestic terrorism is both at large *and* published by a16z approved goons is *wild*
Valerie@emilybell the combo platter of musk/trump was the last straw, I deactivated my account, this already feels so much better!
Zorro Notorious MEB 😡@emilybell We meet again! 😃
Yeah, like the proverbial train wreck, I had to go look at TFG's tweets. They read now like a historical record of his actions before and during the attack on the Vice President and Congress. They tell exactly the same story the January 6th Committee hearings have been telling.

Ray@emilybell TikTok worries me. Having the CCP have de-facto control over such a huge platform is also terrible. It's like we never learn ...
@soozler totally agree - there’s a ‘what could possibly go wrong?’ vibe about it, yet it’s growth is head-scratching my high

His reality show has run its course. The media will keep paying attention to him so long as the ratings reflect their expectations. But his real support is gone forever, finally.
Elon's gambit with Twitter was a mistake and he and everyone knows it. At some point it will become too painful to keep it and he'll dump it off on someone else.
