@dell I had to look up news about that last result because I was verrryyyy worried that it meant that it was rumored that Elon was running with him. Sounds like it's Twitter Spaces PR?
I do. This isn't politics. This is Narcissist Dating.
Musk invited Trump back to Twitter, and Trump turned him down. Musk is now showing off his new date, DeSantis. Flaunting DeSantis.
But he really would rather have Trump. Trump has more loyal followers and more loyal haters, all of which is good for Musk. Engagement is down, and he can't shadow ban Bluesky.
DeSantis has a need to be promoted and protected by Musk, and the only thing he can offer in return is a promise for a payout for Musk IF he wins the WH. He can't do anything for Musk right now.
Trump can offer his Twitter followers now. All the pandering pundits and journalists will line up to cover every single outrageous tweet. Bluesky? DOA.
All Trump has to do is tweet. Musk will dump DeSantis.
@TomMarcinko@the_Effekt@noondlyt@dell as much as I dislike billionaires, I don't like whitewashing Russian criminals even more. They aren't just like Western billionaires, they are literally personally involved in murders, kidnappings, and all kinds of lesser crimes.
@dell Fascist thug Desantis going on #fascist haven Twitter smacks of desperation, really. And, Twitter hosting the thug shows Musk's desperation too. But they're both far-right weirdos.
@dell NYT does a terrible job on the 20% of their reporting that is largely on nonsense political framings that influences 80% of the rest of the media and does a good job on 80% of their reporting that have 20% of the attention and influence.
@franktaber i can’t read articles by people who start by pretending to be clueless, like they’re discovering facts alongside the reader. it’s just a labor to get through.
