Elon Musk making an offer on Twitter had fans of former President Donald Trump delighted, but it seems that there may be conflict in the situation now. According to The New York Times, following the unsuccessful launch of Trump’s own social media platform, Truth Media, Musk’s move to Twitter may make them rivals rather than allies.
With Musk taking over Twitter, Truth Media could lose a bulk of its already small clientele. The billionaire’s reasoning for buying the platform is to allow more free speech, the backbone on which Truth Media has been founded. If Twitter allows more right-leaning content on their platform with Musk onboard, Trump’s social media platform could disintegrate.
However, as Bloomberg reports, there is still hope for many Trump fans that he will be allowed back on Twitter following Musk’s involvement. The question will be whether Trump will want to, given that the new owner could be competition for his own social media site.
