I have no idea if Elon is a white-hat, gray-hat, or black-hat -- but I do know that the current Twitter drama is revealing to a lot of new people that Twitter is untrustworthy -- even some hardcore libs.
I also know that Trump is very strategic and extremely patient, and will wait for this drama to play out to the fullest extent possible. (Why interfere with Twitter while it has no option but to destroy itself?)
I believe he is intentionally holding back the launch of TruthSocial until he senses the absolute peak of 'disgust at Twitter' and 'desire for an uncensored site'.
Then, at exactly the right moment, Trump will launch TruthSocial, and DWAC will skyrocket.
Just a hunch.
If not for that very important, look to twitter the storm is upon us drop, I would wish twitter and its liberal cesspool inhabitants go the way of betamax and hd dvd's.
Maybe Musk is the one who posts - Look to twitter - exactly this...
As someone who 1) despises Twatter; and 2) owns xxx of DWACW, I like OP's theory.
