Musk and Trump – A Feud That Could Doom Trump's Digital Empire? 🤔
24 /Jul
Donald Trump went through a lot during the break between his two terms as President of the United States. 😬 He faced legal proceedings and serious accusations of attempting to overthrow the government after losing the election to Biden. Things weren't easy for Trump on other fronts either, especially in the digital world.
We remember that Trump’s account on the former Twitter was suspended 😮, and many characterized it as an attack on democracy and democratic values of both the United States and the entire Western world. The situation changed when Musk bought Twitter and renamed it to X. Trump was allowed to return to the platform 😎, which helped him reach his target audience and voter base without various forms of censorship.
Musk thus “helped” Trump to open a new communication channel toward voters and bypass traditional media that had long taken traditional sides. After the election, Musk positioned himself as one of the key figures in Donald Trump’s administration, but then something unexpected happened. 😲
Trump and Musk had a falling out, and Musk even accused the U.S. president of visiting Epstein’s island! 😱 Will this feud escalate further and possibly lead to Trump’s account being suspended again on the X platform?
How much would Trump lose in that case? 😐 How much would the entire Republican party and Vice President J.D. Vance lose if the communication channel that helped Trump return to power were to be shut down again?
Trump is no longer eligible to run, so he might be willing to take risks 😏, but predictions suggest that the next Republican candidate is likely to be Vance, which means extra caution is needed. The previous elections have shown just how crucial the digital world is in an election race 😵, so all political actors are now being even more careful.
