Elon Musk took to Twitter, the platform he will soon own, to mock Donald Trump’s social media platform Truth Social, BREITBART reports. Musk tweeted that Trump’s platform has a “terrible name,” and “should be called Trumpet instead!” Musk’s criticism comes after he pointed out that Truth Social, launched as a Twitter alternative, has passed Twitter on a ranking of “Top Apps” in Apple’s app store.
“Truth Social is currently beating Twitter & TikTok on the Apple Store,” Musk tweeted, sharing a screenshot of the ranking from AppFigures.com, which showed Truth Social ahead of both Twitter and TikTok.
“Truth Social (terrible name) exists because Twitter censored free speech,” Musk added in a follow-up tweet, mocking Trump’s new platform. “Should be called Trumpet instead!” the Tesla CEO added in another follow-up tweet.
Musk’s comments come after his successful $44 billion bid to buy Twitter, and after former President Donald Trump proclaimed that he will not tweet again even if Musk restores his Twitter account.
“I am not going on Twitter, I am going to stay on TRUTH. I hope Elon buys Twitter because he’ll make improvements to it and he is a good man, but I am going to be staying on TRUTH,” Trump told Fox News after Musk agreed to purchase Twitter on Monday. Read more at: BREITBART
Isn’t that like Pravda which means ‘truth’?
Bugs.
Actually more like Yated Neeman.
Ahh.
Love it.
Excellent. Get those competitive juices going.
Yeah struck me from the the beginning that he missed the Pravda reference.
And the meme value of calling it Trumpet would’ve been amazing.
It is kinda strange that his name Trump isn’t on the platform. Said he, someone once told me, that it is futile to own something if it doesn’t carry his name! So there!
