He does, but it's an echo chamber so he has no one to play off of.

The truth is that Truth Social is boring.

Are you on it? It sounds like some of the "tribute threads" around here -- a bunch of like-minded simpletons repeating each other's Reichwing-bestowed talking points.

I have a handful of accounts and check it every once in awhile but it's mostly ads and wackadoodles.
 
Hello Dutch Uncle,

Is there any doubt that Trump would give Elon a Rusty Trombone in order to get back on Twitter?

IMO, the RWers don't know Elon Musk very well.

For years, Musk, a registered independent voter who previously described his views as moderate, has claimed that he tries not to get too involved in politics, despite spending millions lobbying both main political parties....

...Is Elon Musk a Trump Supporter?
In November 2016, on the eve of the election in which Trump beat Hilary Clinton, Musk declared that he doesn't believe that the Republican is the right person for the White House.

"I feel a bit stronger that he is probably not the right guy," Musk told CNBC. "He doesn't seem to have the sort of character that reflects well on the United States."

However, just one month later Musk agreed to join Trump's "Strategic and Policy" advisory team for his incoming administration, a group that also included Uber CEO Travis Kalanick and PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi.

In January 2017, Musk criticized Trump's travel ban on countries with predominantly Muslim populations, describing it as "not the best way to address the country's challenges."

"Many people negatively affected by this policy are strong supporters of the US. They've done right, not wrong & don't deserve to be rejected," Musk wrote in a tweet.

The following month, also on Twitter, Musk dismissed criticism about his working with Trump, saying: "People should push to have as many moderates advising the President as possible. Blind hate is never the right answer."

In June 2017, Musk announced that he would be leaving Trump's business advisory council in protest of the president's pulling the U.S. out of the Paris climate agreement. "Climate change is real. Leaving Paris is not good for America or the world," Musk tweeted.

In May 2020, Musk tweeted "thank you!" after Trump supported the CEO's controversial plans to reopen Tesla's car factory in California in violation of the restrictions in place amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Musk had previously called stay-at-home orders "fascist" during a Tesla earnings call. He has since moved Tesla's headquarters from California to Texas.

In September 2021, Texas Governor Greg Abbott said Musk wanted to get out of California because it was too liberal, while claiming that the Tesla CEO "consistently tells me that he likes the social policies in the state of Texas."

Abbott made the claim as Texas was introducing the controversial abortion bill that bans the procedure in almost all circumstances after around six weeks.

While responding to the comments, Musk tweeted to CNBC reporter Michael Sheetz: "In general, I believe government should rarely impose its will upon the people, and, when doing so, should aspire to maximize their cumulative happiness."

"That said, I would prefer to stay out of politics," he said.

And that is how, in this weird world, black oil-pumping red Texas becomes a manufacturer of the most popular electric vehicles...

Persuasion is always better than force. It takes longer, but lasts longer too.

God Bless America!
