Was Trump's return to not Twitter a wise business move? Truth Social started @ $79.38 & closed @ $25 yesterday. Why didn't he promote his own company?

[DrPepper12]

Trump is hailed as a mastermind of deals and business so this seems like a lost opportunity to get press for his company rather than promoting a rival company?

Trump got played by Elon Musk

Trump is just hanging on until he can sell his stake of TruthSocial in Sept.

He was trying to stop the + news cycle for Dems so went for larger audience

Trump played Elon by the DoS attack & glitches to embarrass not Twitter

Something else. I'll elaborate below.

Elon Musk invited both candidates to be interviewed. Trump agreed to do it. It was really the same as being interviewed by Fox or ABC. Kamala was afraid to do this. It would have made her look bad.

Elon is not a neutral arbiter. I would have declined too

Trump went in to the lions den with Joe Biden. He did not turn tail.

[DrPepper12]

Huh?

[exitseven]

@DrPepper12 The democrats had the Biden/Trump debate at CNN with Jake Tapper as moderator. That would have stacked the deck against Trump. It was a sure bet that Biden would get all the questions in advance. Trump still accepted the challenge, that is what leaders do.

[DrPepper12]

True.

Likely true.

Not likely true despite that radio interview subterfuge which his staff should be condemned and fired for!

Ya know, you're right! He didn't answer any questions but he did show up in hostile territory and that IS worth acknowledging. TY for making me see that!

[exitseven]

He answered every question and he actually acknowledged how fair Jake Tapper was. He went in there expecting the worst.

Had nothing to do with being a good or bad business. Elon endorsed Trump, so not surprised Trump is back on X.

He'll still make millions selling it all later. Then maybe the clowns who bought it will figure out what a grifter he is when he takes all their money.
