Although in the past he has declared his loyalty to his counterfeit Twitter platform, former President Trump now seems to have an interest in only partially restricting his use of Twitter in the near future.
A new filing with the Digital World Acquisition Corp. sec. — Trump’s main investment vehicle for the TRUTH Social app that makes it public — indicates that Trump plans to limit himself to using Twitter. Although the former president is obliged to publish on his new social network, according to the dossier, he will be allowed to publish on other sites. . . under some conditions.
According to the dossier, the former president is “generally obligated” to post on TRUTH Social, but can post “the same post on the social media site” as long as he waits six hours before doing so.
Trump can post on “anywhere you have to” once the hours have passed.
“Therefore, TMTG has limited time to profit from its posts and subscribers may not find it compelling to use TruthSocial to read their posts so quickly,” he said.
The dossier gives Trump even more leeway to completely circumvent TRUTH Social if he needs to use other accounts to take advantage of his “political message. “
“In addition, you can post a message from a non-public account connected to political messages, political fundraising, or voting efforts on any social network at any time,” the filing reads.
The warnings defined in the SEC filing — it’s still not entirely transparent whether it will be made public, as Axios noted here — come weeks after the former president swore allegiance to his TRUTH Social app, even though his old Twitter account was reinstated. The pledge of allegiance to TRUTH Social followed the announcement that Tesla CEO Elon Musk had put forward to buy Twitter for $43 billion, a much-celebrated, but not yet fruitful, launch day for conservatives and far-right figures who praised the news and speculated that the billionaire may simply repair Trump’s account once the deal has closed (not yet the case).
“I’m going to Twitter, I’m going to stay in the TRUTH,” Trump told Fox News last month.
Devin Nunes, a former Republican congressman turned CEO of TRUTH Social, has also struggled to feign Trump’s trust in his off-brand Twitter, despite the series of damaging issues that have plagued the company since Trump announced its creation in October, as a component of an effort to circumvent its ban through tech giants.
In an appearance on Fox Business last month, Nunes insisted the former president had no interest in returning to Twitter, even as the right celebrated with joy that Musk’s acquisition of social media giant Trump was banned after Jan. 6.
“He said he had no interest in getting on Twitter, and I guess it would stay the same,” the former congressman said.
“Look, until you get there and erase everything that’s happened in the company over the last couple of years, Twitter is just a PR thread lately,” Nunes continued.
Although in the past he declared his loyalty to his faked Twitter platform, now former President Trump turns out to be interested only in. . .
