Twitter boss Elon Musk released the ban on former US President Donald Trump 's Twitter account last Saturday, but Trump 's enthusiastic reaction to his little fan was a little cold. In an interview, Trump said he did not have a reason to return to the Twitter platform, and he will continue to use his social platform (named Truth Social) .
This former president with assets of more than $3.2 billion has launched Truth Social in February this year. In his territory, he can say whatever he wants, and "King of Understanding" Trump is very confident in his platform and thinks it is "extremely great". At present, his account on his Truth Social platform only has about 4.57 million .
After Trump's Twitter account was unblocked, his number of fans increased by more than 2.1 million within 30 minutes. So far, his followers on Twitter have increased to 87.3 million . Currently, Trump's last status on Twitter is still on January 8 last year, which is where he was banned. Trump is not on Twitter, but it seems that the influence is still there, whether it is positive or negative.
Musk 's enthusiasm to welcome the return of "King of Understanding" was not released, so on November 21, he posted a post and accompanied the picture to sigh (the above picture was handled), implying that Trump was not tempted by Twitter.
has announced that it will participate in 2024 US presidential election can Trump resist the temptation of Twitter? Among the American politicians endorsed by Trump (Senate members, House members, and governors) whom Trump endorsed and supported, only 25% of them have opened Truth Social accounts. However, people on this platform are basically staunch supporters of Trump.
The most well-known special love in the United States who are more controversial are not ordinary people: Musk (the richest man in the world), Trump (former president and real estate tycoon), and Kanye ( rap singer and designer) . In October this year, Musk compared the three of them to the "Three Musketeers", and all three of them have their own social platforms. However, Trump did not return to Musk's arms, but Kan Ye was back.
In the early morning of November 21 local time, Kanye West (Ye, Kanye) , which had been banned by major brands, tested his Twitter account, and then found that it worked, so his account was unblocked, again.
Musk then left him a message: "Don't murder what ye hates, you should save what ye loves." The "Ye" here may be a pun, which is the names of "you (you)" and Kan Ye.
Five hours later, Kanye posted another tweet, with the word "shalom (Hebrew greetings, wishing you peace)" and a smiley face made of symbols. His state is also interesting. What does he want to express? Submit yourself? reconciliation? Irony? Kan Ye's confidence and thinking have always been particularly psychedelic.
In October this year, Kanye was banned by social platform Twitter for suspected anti-Semitic remarks , and was terminated by partners, including brands such as Adidas, Balenciaga . After
was banned, he reached an intention acquisition agreement with conservative social platform (called Parler) , intending to buy him and speak freely. This move is a bit like Trump.
At the end of October, Musk took over Twitter, and Kanye's account was unblocked. Musk said at the time that it was not his decision. Then on November 4, the rapper's account was banned again. Two weeks later, Twitter opened the door to Kanye again.
Another thing is that just the day before the Twitter account was unblocked, that is, last Sunday, Kan Ye posted a video saying that he would run for US presidential election in 2024. Once, he also announced his participation in the 2020 US presidential election, but he admitted to losing the election within a few months.
Although Musk unblocked the controversial Twitter accounts of Trump and Kanye, he still has a bottom line.Some netizens left a message to Musk asking him to get Alex Jones back, and Musk replied: "No."
Who is Jones? He was an extremely conservative who spreads conspiracy theories and was banned from Twitter in 2018. He has many conspiracy theories, and they are all to the point where people hate it. For example, he repeatedly spread that shootings in American schools did not exist at all. He claimed that if the shooting was a drama performed by the victim, his family and the murderer, the victim was not dead at all, all for the purpose of controlling guns, opposing the use of guns, etc.
This year he was sentenced to pay $1 billion in compensation to the families of victims of the school shooting. Although Jones is not the one who shoots students with a gun, he regards conspiracy theory as a weapon to kill his heart. What is the meaning of such a person staying outside of prison?
Should I say it or not, Musk's "no" sounds a bit satisfying.
After Musk bought Twitter, he created many "stories" based on Twitter as the "theme". Will he have any other masterpieces next?
