Jack Dorsey says he agrees with reversing Trump's Twitter ban

It is interesting how much influence Peter Thiel has on the main players of social media: via Facebook as an early investor and ex-board member and via Twitter with his ex-coworker from Paypal days Musk. He’s very explicit in his book about the power of monopolies and now you see this consolidation of social media companies under a specific group of closed people. WSJ reported Thiel being involved with Musk on this twitter deal, that plus his recent political investments in certain figures, did he figure out that they are not getting the same bang for buck with this ban in play? Dorsey has a financial interest of this deal going through, last I heard was at least 1 billion. So he’ll start saying yes to whatever pops up to let this go through and even more incentive with the recent downturn of tech stocks that are not profitable.

Innocent until proven guilty.

AFAIK Trump has not been convicted of any "illegal activity" in that regard.

Trump said he wouldn't go ever go back to Twitter. So this is a moot point because Trump is always honest and true to his word. /s

Wonder if they're trying to bait him away from Truth Social (his failing competitor platform)

He's been proven guilty. He did it on live tv.

The fact that he still has enough political power to avoid execution for sedition, or any responsibility whatsoever for this crime, does not have any effect on the truth value of my statement.
