      Doesn’t make much business sense for megacorps to buy one of the biggest social media that allowed his new ceo a place in the white house?

        It is consideted crass by the megarich to use their new money to overtly purchase politicians. They prefer to do it behind closed doors, mostly to keeo them cheap

          Twitter is one of the biggest social networks in the world and the most used by politicians worldwide. It’s quite obvious that his position allowed him to get more votes to his party.
