    He is functionally illiterate. Legitimately. So, it makes sense the small character limit was about all he could manage.

    That's the reason his supporters think he's "his own man". He had to go "off script" at his rallies because he can't read well. It's hard enough to write when one is literate. It's probably impossible when one isn't.

    The 8 week employment was massive sarcasm.... sorry I didn't identify that as such.

    Don't know about the early days, when i didn't use it, but HealthCare.gov works like a charm now.... We'll see if Grift Social ever gets to that level or service.... or interest....

    Yes, The Taliban has several twitter accounts. My point was the hypocrisy of this big tech BS artist.

    And I fail to see this failure of Truth Social. They were getting 6 million sign ups a week in the first 30 days and now they are around 2 million per week, And after the rush to sign up, as sign ups started to level out, the media rushes to the front to claim its failing as sign ups are dwindling.
    But when you factor in the gullible on the left who slurps up every word without an ounce of research, thats what you get.

    Starting a twitter like app, in this amount of time, and setting records for people to sign up in these time frames, is the farthest thing from failure.
    In fact, the largest app download month for twitter in history was 11.7 million in one month and that was in 2019 after years of service, Truth Social beat that number in its first month.

    So what is the evidence of this huge failure everyone is quacking about because nobody knows anything about it.

    Very True, Indy.
    Of course, Musk is going to be in NO Position to "let him back".

    No, but I prefer a platform that doesn't decide for me what's real or not.

    Musk is a provocateur. I think he’d let him back on just to draw attention to himself. Those two are cut from the same narcissistic cloth.

    I absolutely loved watch the original "Twilight Zone". They played them on 24/7 loops over the Christmas holiday and, back then, there was no such thing as a "man cave." Dad held the remote. We watched what he watched. LOL

    There was one episode about a Hollywood actress that stayed in her home studio rewatching her old movies continuously. She basically shut out the rest of the world and shut herself off the rest of the world and just waxed nostalgic in her home studio constantly.

    That's what this feels like. They grasp hold any semblance of "success" from the perpetual loser and use that as some kind of "proof" of his awesomeness. He's hopelessly lost in his self-delusions and has made it contagious via his voice somehow. It's not a good look.

    It all boils down to how much influence that Musk can yield with a 9.2% Stake.

    I know you feel that way about your hero because of your avatar and all, but in reality, DeSantis is as toxic as Trump.

    Really, he is? And you have some video, statement, or media claim to back that up, right?
    Or is this just all talk?

    Not when your first month signups are larger than any single month in the history of Twitter.
    Twitters largest month on record was January of 2019 with 11.7 million
    Truth Social opened with over 6 million a week in its first month.
    The only failure Truth Social has is its ability to accommodate so many people so fast.

    Would that level include your first month of signups are larger than any single month in the history of Twitter or Obama Care?
    Twitters largest month on record was January of 2019 with 11.7 million
    Truth Social opened with over 6 million a week in its first month.
    The only failure Truth Social has is its ability to accommodate so many people so fast.
    So while the left cackles about these fake Truth Social failures they seem to be discounting their own networks who never had anything close to this kind of support.
    But they want to keep that as quiet as possible.
