Trump stands to make circa $300 million if Truth Social gets reverse-acquired by DWAC. He's not gonna come back to twitter right away.

The DWAC deal would need to fall through, or I guess mid-2023 if he's running for president and needs a bullhorn.

LOL why are these idiots spending money on truth social

Hmmmmm...

So they would be off Twitter and the people they don't like would still be posting on Twitter? Sounds like winning to me.

If you want good takedown deep dives, look into Common Sense Skeptic's YouTube. Don't let the chud name fool you. Unlike Thunderfoot, CSS seems to have his head screwed on right and doesn't have a hate boner for :females: lady video game reviewers.

You may be unhappy to learn that that dude is a huge misogynist and islamophobe who rode to popularity on the gamergate/MRA wave of the mid 2010s. Yes it's weird that he's also anti-Trump and doesn't like Musk, but broken clocks and all.

He used to be very big on countering apologetics, creationism etc, and probably saw too much of the people he used to debate in Trump and Musk.

That would be great though. You could write whatever you want and then twitter would own it.

It's not going to be Bitcoin, it'll be Dogecoin if anything.

That said given that almost everyone using Twitter are consumers rather than producers, how on Earth are you going to monetise them that way? What would they be paying for - some kind of tiered content service where you get notified of people you follow a bit quicker than others (e.g. delayed tweets). I honestly have no idea. That's even before you fall at the first hurdle of getting your average person using Twitter - those that are targeted by advertisers - to get all set up buying crypto via the website, and turn it into something that has to be regulated in various markets, etc.

https://www.engadget.com/tesla-cyberquad-for-kids-model-3-recall-182622384.html

quote:


The Tesla Cyberquad for Kids is being recalled by Radio Flyer (which built the product) after the Consumer Product Safety Commission found that it violates all-terrain vehicle (ATV) federal safety standards for youths. The agency determined that, among other issues, the mechanical suspension and maximum tire pressure weren't adequate. Moreover, it said the Cyberquad for Kids lacked an approved ATV action plan, which lays out safety requirements and is needed to build, import, sell or distribute ATVs in the US.

In the recall notice, which was spotted by The Verge, the CPSC said that around 5,000 units of the Cyberquad for Kids had been sold. Tesla was offering the product through its website. Radio Flyer said folks who bought one should immediately return the motor controller (the removal of which will permanently disable the Cyberquad) for a full $1,900 refund. The company will reimburse at least some costs involved in returning the motor controller and disposing of the other parts. It's not clear whether new Cyberquad for Kids models will be sold at a later time.

Problem is that advertisers don't want to be associated with certain things.
With the Youtube 'Adpocolypse' a few years back big corps didn't want their adds on videos that spouted hate or misinformation.
And Twitter is 90%+ poo poo posting already, so yeah good luck getting ad revenue from them.
