It’s not users they need, it’s revenue. Having Trump back will drive advertisers away and they won’t sell enough $8/month blue accounts to compensate.
It will drive some away and bait a few others to join as the Donald fits their promotional needs. If Elon turns it into a platform for selling guns, Go-Bags and NFTs to Q-Believers it might trickle along (at a loss) for a bit…

I’ve thought the same.
I bet Trump sees Musk as a threat as much as an ally. I joked a couple of weeks back that either Twitter or truth social should buy one or the other out. Trump is probably trying to find a way to turn Elon into his bitch, like he did with Ted Cruz.
A Republican operative was convicted on Thursday of facilitating an illegal campaign contribution from a Russian national to the Trump campaign in 2016.
I think the definition of ‘Alpha Male’ seems to have come to mean ‘people who blame their failure on others’.
Alpha as in ‘failed to get past point A whilst watching from the side lines as everyone else enjoys exploring the rest of the greek alphabet that life has to offer’
The BBC report his special master thing has gone away under appeal by the authorities so all the material retrieved from mar-a-lago can now be trawled through by them with unfettered access. 👍
Came on here to post that two of his companies are going bankrupt, but can’t find the links now. AP and Reuters according to my GF. Smells like a way of avoiding paying debts though.
Seems a paltry fine, 1.6 mil it was reported last night, especially when they were defrauding in the range of 100’s of millions, but then it was pointed out that no banks will want to touch them now, and they’re known for constantly borrowing to stay afloat
Yes, I think it’s going to be death by a thousand cuts from here on for Trump. Every Democrat D.A. or state level Attorney General will investigate him on anything they can. Even if he escapes conviction, the lawyers fees, time and stress, and constant publicity will take their toll.
But he’s colluding with God so please send $50 per month.
I know he’s meant to have slightly odd hands, but there’s something about the hands on that picture that is emblematic of some sort of demonic possession. Maybe he really is the incarnation of beelzebub after all..
darth – I think you’re mixing two different cases.
The fraud you refer to is the Letitia James case about inflating/deflating the value of property assets for borrowing and tax purposes respectively. It implicates trump and his three eldest children directly.
Potential penalties if found guilty could be chunky with the possibility of being barred from doing (new) business in NY.
The tax fraud case which concluded yesterday did not involve trump or his family directly – but there’s guilt by association.
Everywhere Trump looks, prosecutors are breathing down his neck. It is hard to imagine that so many prosecutors would expend this much time and effort and not indict him. It is not unreasonable to expect one or more criminal cases in the coming months.https://t.co/gIH16rC5Rr

To him and his cultists that’s “the biggest witch hunt ever”. To everyone else it’s “why you keep your head down if you’re a persistant fraudster”. Congrats for making yourself the biggest target in the world, idiot boy
WTAF! I just assumed that ^^^ was some Trump fan with an over-active imagination but no, he trumpeted (ha!) that as a major announcement on Truth (sic) Social.
He’s completely lost the plot and must be desperate to raise money
I hope his lovely family have him a luxury padded room booked.
He’s playing the long game. I’m imagining him sitting in court as the accused and dribbling whilst his lawyers plead mental incompetence (see above) to a gullible judge and jury…
TBH, I’m temped by the thought of a parody card collection.
Others for this presidential series: 1. The Roosevelt Brothers invent Medicare 2. General Eisenhower invents roads 3. Gerald Ford invents the car 4. Lincoln’s VP, Andrew “Tippecanoe” Jackson, gets impeached 5. Herbert Hoover invents the vacuum
Those cards are 99$ EACH and they aren’t even real cards, just digital versions you keep on a phone/computer. The site is even showing them all as sold out right now which is so unlikely that you have to imagine some cynical manipulation going on. I’m not sure I understand anything any more, I’m off to find a cave
