Looks like it will be June at the earliest before Trump returns to other social media. Donald Trump may need to wait months for Twitter return due to Truth Social contract https://www.yahoo.com/news/donald-trump-plans-june-twitter-111253340.html Donald Trump will return to Twitter after an exclusivity contract with his own Truth Social platform expires in June, according to a report. The former US President is currently subject to a “social media exclusivity” clause that requires him to post “any and all social media communications” to Truth Social for six hours before posting to rival platforms, recently uncovered filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reveal. The six-month rolling contract runs out in June and Mr Trump does not plan to renew it, sources told Rolling Stone, as he plans to use all channels available for his 2024 presidential campaign. Twitter handed a “permanent suspension” to Mr Trump on 8 January, 2021, two days after his supporters stormed the US Capitol in Washington DC. Mr Trump’s final tweet before the ban was: “To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.” Twitter found that this tweet, together with another tweet calling for his voters to “not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form”, went against its ‘Glorification of Violence’ policy. “These two tweets must be read in the context of broader events in the country and the ways in which the President’s statements can be mobilised by different audiences, including to incite violence,” Twitter wrote in a blog post explaining the ban of the then-President. “Our determination is that the two tweets above are likely to inspire others to replicate the violent acts that took place on 6 January, 2021, and that there are multiple indicators that they are being received and understood as encouragement to do so.” The ban was overturned after Elon Musk took over Twitter in a $44 billion deal in October 2022. The tech billionaire conducted a poll asking users whether they wanted Mr Trump’s account to be reinstated, with 51.8 per cent of the 15 million respondents voting ‘yes’. Shortly after the poll, Mr Trump said he was not interested in returning to Twitter, despite having more than 85 million followers. “I don’t see any reason for it,” he said. Mr Trump remains banned from Meta platforms, including Instagram and Facebook, but his campaign spokesperson said last week that his team is in talks with the tech giant to have it reinstated.

Like nearly every other Trump story, this one involves Russian money, fraud, criminality, and ripping people off. Trump Media auditor and business partner go silent as Russia money laundering probe revealed https://www.rawstory.com/trump-money-laundering-2659611697/ An auditor responsible for overseeing Trump Media's books is ducking calls seeking comment on a pair of loans totaling $8 million that have fallen under investigation as possible money laundering. Top executives at Donald Trump's social media raised concerns about the loans from Paxum Bank and ES Family Trust, which both are linked to an ally of Russian president Vladimir Putin, and it remains unclear whether the SEC-licensed broker-dealer who sourced the loans or auditor BF Borders completed any due diligence under anti-money laundering and “Know Your Customer” requirements, reported The Guardian. "A person who picked up the phone at BF Borgers this week put a reporter seeking comment on hold until the line disconnected," the newspaper's Hugo Lowell reported. "On a subsequent call, the person said they would pass the request on to managing partner Ben Borgers." The payments came as Trump Media, which owns the Trump Social platform, was running out of money in December 2021 and February 2022 as its planned merger with the blank check company DWAC was halted by an SEC investigation, and top executives at the fledgling tech company were so concerned about the origins of the loans they considered returning the money. However, according to Trump Media co-founder turned whistleblower Will Wilkerson, chief financial officer Phillip Juhan ultimately decided not to return the money because giving up $8 million of the roughly $12 million of cash they had on hand would have put the company in a precarious position. DWAC chief executive Patrick Orlando sourced the first loan, $2 million from Paxum Bank, just before Christmas 2021 and later charged a $240,000 finder’s fee to Trump Media, and he declined to provide requested information about the lender to company executives who voiced concerns. Donald Trump Jr., who had taken a more actively role in the company since that summer, personally signed off on the loan Christmas Eve 2021 in a communication sent to outside counsel, but Juhan raised concerns again about the sources of the loans on March 8, 2022. "Our auditors require confirmation statements signed by all noteholders," Juhan wrote in an email reviewed by The Guardian. "We don’t have a contact for ES Family Trust other than the name of Angel Pacheco (Trustee). Can you provide contact info (email) so that our auditor (BF Borgers) can email this confirmation? Thanks!” It's unclear whether any further information or a signed version of the loan agreement were ever passed on to Juhan or the auditor, and the CFO and Orlando also did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
Trump Businesses think Truth Social sucks. Trump Businesses Ask For Follows On Social Media. But Not On Truth Social. https://www.forbes.com/sites/zachev...edia-but-not-on-truth-social/?sh=2f1550b51de4 It’s not typical for Donald Trump to miss a chance to cross-promote his products, let alone direct business to his competitors. Yet, in marketing emails sent as recently as Monday, the Trump Store and Trump Winery encouraged subscribers to “follow along” on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest—without mentioning Truth Social, the platform Donald Trump launched in February 2022. It’s as if a half-empty Trump hotel were directing would-be guests to book rooms at a nearby Marriott. The Trump Store, in fact, has not posted to its verified Truth Social account in five months. Representatives of the Trump Organization did not respond to inquiries. Trump is currently suing both Twitter and Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, after the platforms banned him in the wake of the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol that he incited.

Trump appealed. Attorneys for the social-media company recently advised the appellate court that Twitter, Inc. no longer exists. It is now officially X Corp., a new name Elon Musk gave the venture."The Meta lawsuit is on hold, pending the resolution of the Twitter suit.
