Devin Nunes has sad Fox interview amid Musk Twitter deal
Former California Rep. Devin Nunes — who remaining Congress to serve as CEO of the business guiding Real truth Social — has mentioned that the new app is intended to be the anti-Twitter in that users will not be suspended or banned over the content of their posts as often as they have been on Twitter. Musk has stated he is seeking to get Twitter in part to champion considerably less written content moderation.
Nunes appeared on Fox Small business Monday early morning to market Reality Social and was asked by host Maria Bartiromo about Musk. Just one query on a lot of minds is regardless of whether Musk may well let Trump back again on Twitter right after the former president was banned subsequent the Jan. 6 Capitol riots.
In the occasion Musk does allow Trump back on Twitter, Bartiromo asked Nunes no matter whether the former president would return to the application where he was, for a time, a god-tier poster.
“Well, I can only report what he said,” Nunes reported of Trump. “He mentioned he truly does not have an interest in heading on Twitter, and my guess is that would proceed to be the similar.”
That “guess” seems … suspect. Trump himself hardly works by using Truth Social and reportedly went “ballistic” when he was 1st suspended from Twitter. The Every day Beast reported that Trump is “furious” about Truth Social’s troubled start and “appears disengaged from seeking to flip the platform all around, a lot significantly less put up on it.”
But in accordance to Nunes, Reality Social is not having difficulties, basically. He went on to assert, providing no proof, that Truth of the matter Social has additional engagement than Twitter.
“Twitter correct now is absolutely nothing but a PR wire,” he stated. “It’s got a global footprint, but there’s just no one there, and I imply.”
Reality Social’s download quantities are very bad, and the superior range of user issues also really do not exactly lend themselves to the concept that Real truth Social has far more engagement than Twitter. Nunes is often welcome to open up Truth of the matter Social’s publications, and we at SFGATE would be eager to see the metrics he is looking at that would direct him to make such a powerful claim.
