Both Elon Musk and Donald Trump want to get back at Twitter, and they're each going about it differently
et’s talk about two billionaires nursing love-hate relationships with Twitter—Elon Musk and Donald Trump—and their differing approaches to striking back at the thing they simultaneously adore and detest. Spoiler: One seems to have a better plan than the other.
Both men have soured on Twitter, largely for the same reason. They see Twitter as acting too much like media’s old guard, limiting free speech. Thought this hasn’t stopped them from breaking Twitter’s rules and behaving badly, and both have faced consequences for their actions. Twitter banned in January 2020 Trump after a tweet helped sparked the U.S. Capitol insurrection.
“One thing Twitter has is a very engaged, active and loyal user base, which was hard to assemble,” says Deutsche Bank analyst Benjamin Black. “Trying to replicate it will be a very, very expensive endeavor.”
