I told you so:
Twitter says it will NOT reinstate Trump despite Elon Musk vowing 'significant' change to woke platform after taking a board seat with 9% stake as the largest shareholderTrump made claims that were dismissed as disinformation—claims about COVID, about supposed Russian machinations, about Hunter Biden—and they all turned out to be true. In response to Musk's buy-in, and unable to stomach the return of Trump, Twitter now doubles down, as I knew it would, on the idea of keeping Trump forever off its platform. And you know what? If I were Trump, I'd be spending my time creating my own platform, an uncancelable one, to use as my soapbox. Fuck Twitter. Why chase after the affections of a platform that obviously hates you? You simply end up looking desperate.
If Musk really wants to make changes, he needs to flush out the entire entrenched power structure in Twitter, but I don't see how he's going to do that. When you send chemicals down the pipe to unclog your toilet, those chemicals never clean out all the scum: there's always that little, ontologically stubborn bit that remains.
