This week, Tesla CEO Elon Musk purchased Twitter for $44-billion and although most of the criticism has come from one side of the aisle of the political sphere, the news did ruffle some on the right, especially those with competing apps.
Jason Miller, a former adviser for former President Donald Trump, who is now CEO of GETTR, stated in an interview with Newsmax that Musk could be in way over his head with this purchase. Furthermore, Miller said that his app would reign supreme over Musk’s.
“I think Elon Musk is going to find out it’s easier to land a rocket ship on Mars than it is to change the culture of Twitter,” Miller said. This isn’t about swapping out the CEO. Fixing [Twitter] I don’t think is possible.”
The former President isn’t plotting a return to Twitter as he’s committed to his social platform Truth Social.
“I am not going on Twitter; I am going to stay on TRUTH,” Trump told Fox News. “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.”
