#Trump gained #36m new #followers (real and…less real, I’m sure) in the first 5 hours since #Musk reinstated him this morning.

Point:
If this is mainly an organic growth, then the number of followers will continue to increase well beyond the #88m he had when he was removed from the network;
otherwise, it may simply be a restoration of his account (although, I do find it hard to believe #Twitter restored over 35m followers previously identified as bots).

I took these snapshots today a few hours apart and #Trump gained #36m new #followers (real and…less real) between 10am and 3pm.

#Musk’s #Twitter vote is working as a charm in boosting support for Trump for his upcoming presidential election campaign.

I know Trump lost #Republican and #media (#Murdoch) backing…I hope Musk’s PR campaign doesn’t make up for all that.

I know I’m stating the obvious but we’ll soon get to witness another level of direct social media attack on #democracy from Musk.
