Donald Trump Returns To Twitter

[Webster]

(The Guardian) Trump tweets mug shot in first post since January 6 aftermath
Donald Trump has used his Twitter account for the first time since two days after the January 6 insurrection to share a photo of his newly taken mug shot:


Twitter banned Donald Trump two days after the January 6 attack, citing “the risk of further incitement of violence”.

That all changed about a year-and-a-half later when, after a tortuous process that nearly went to court, billionaire Elon Musk bought the influential social media platform. Musk, who recently renamed the platform X, was already a prolific tweeter and after buying the site held a poll asking whether Trump should be let back on.

A slim majority said yes, and Trump’s account was reinstated last November, but the former president did not use it – until today.

As if we needed another reason for Twitter, or X, sorry, to continue to go downhill..

If Elon Musk ran it like he does SpaceX, it'd be a worldbeater.
But no, I honestly think he bought it in order to kill it.

Well those launches did fail 3 times so you never know As in the movie - I forgot what - you gotta hit rock bottom to rise up

For which, SpaceX's Falcon 1 or the current Falcon 9?

I watched the documentary Elon Musk: The Real Iron Man on Netflix. All it stated was that there were 3 failed launches initially before SpaceX took off. Or I just don't remember.

When SpaceX first began, the first three attempts to launch their now-retired Falcon 1 rocket failed; the fourth launch was literally a make-or-break launch for SpaceX (and Musk) and that launch succeeded.

It. should have been obvious to me that the first rocket launched by SpaceX was Falcon 1 rather than Falcon 3, sorry !

All I knew was that this was for the first rocket by SpaceX -someone was clearly tired when posting 🤪 !

You still have to go to the twitter.com address.

So while he renamed it, he's still using the old site.

I don't use the thing.

Good catch, X.com still redirects to twitter.com

Lock him up already.

 

[DrLeftover]

Lock him up already.

Which "him"?

Mr. Trump in the Hotel Graybar.

or

Mr. Musk in a "rubber room"?

or

Both?

 

[Webster]

Both?

Wouldn't bother me.

One would get in trouble for abuse for locking up Musk
