Elon Musk, the potential buyer of Twitter, raised eyebrows on Tuesday when he said that he would reinstate Donald Trump’s account. To this point, Trump has claimed that he would remain on his failing site, Truth Social, rather than return to the social media giant.

In a Twitter thread, the former Republican strategist explained, “So let me give you a couple pointers on what Elon and Trump want out of this news. They want you to panic. They want rending of garments and tearing of hair. Trolls are going to troll, and this is pure trolling.”
1/ So let me give you a couple pointers on what Elon and Trump want out of this news.
They want you to panic. They want rending of garments and tearing of hair. Trolls are going to troll, and this is pure trolling.

Wilson continued, “He’s coming back. So what? You gonna run from the bully? Or are you going to use it to show the world how utterly bugf*ck drooling insane he is? Or use it to make “moderate” Republicans in swing seats own every iota of his madness and shitty behavior? Or to remind folks the GOP has no ideology by idolatry to Tangerine Baal. Look, no one ‘wants’ him around but if he’s going to be here, make it hell for him. His pollsters and advisors telling him to stick to the Truth Social backwater want that so the lunacy is contained somewhere no one sees it.”
