Trump is in a weird position though that he can't come back to Twitter without sabotaging any value or investment he put into Truth Social since just about the only value in Truth Social is that Trump is on it.
- PartiallyTyped 4y agoIt won’t be the first time he sank an investment. Truth be told (hah), truth social has little to no value as the main demographic is generally very poor with little disposable income, and the main content is just propaganda and dog whistling.
- MichaelCollins 4y agoI think the real value in owning a social media company or newspaper is in the influence, not advertising revenue. If it turns a profit, then all the better, but I don't think that's what motivates rich people to own media. In other words, the propaganda and dog whistling is the whole point.
- hairofadog 4y agoIf he doesn't return to Twitter by the end of the year and simply leave everyone who invested in Truth Social holding the bag, I'll eat my hat.
- MichaelCollins 4y agoI think it depends how much utility he sees in continuing his victim narrative.
- Mezzie 4y agoI'm fascinated to see what the result will be. It's always interesting to watch public figures struggle between two different but almost equally important incentives.
