Twitter bankruptcy imminent

I would not say imminent but it has increased considerably as Trump seemed to be one of the main bets of Musk to increase (double?) engagement.

Kara Swisher had a pretty good tweet thread about this. Essentially: Musk is doing a pretty good job single handedly attracting attention to Twitter, but where does he go from here, executing disloyal devs on livestream?

He probably wouldn’t even get that much. It would just be a lousy sequel rehashing the same crap over and over again.

This isn’t a surprise, part of the financing deal for truth was that Donnie would always post on truth first before any other social media.

To be honest, it's a surprise for me. Because in order to win, Trump needs to broaden his audience. What's the point of limiting himself to only his supporters on truth? They are his hardcore supporters anyway. It’s like preaching to the choir.

First and foremost he’s a man of his word immune to seeking validation through crowd size.

Exactly this. This was the whole point of Musk's Trump survey and so on, to keep the Trump saga on Twitter going.
