I disagree that him owning Twitter causes Trump to win. I have not heard any credible source make this claim. This sounds like 4D chess nonsense. He clearly did not want to own Twitter and didn't know what to do with it either once he did and still had no clue how to use it.

Whatever responsibility can be placed on Twitter it would be them deplatforming him, allowing voters to forget how insane he is. This occurred prior to his purchase.

Rather than attempting to lay the blame for trumps second election on platforms, we need to come to terms with accepting that this is the direction that the majority of American's wanted. This includes those who did not vote, since their apathy allowed Trump to win.

A plurality of Americans are very very dumb. The entire world knows this. We pretend they just don't get us, know us, etc but we cannot ignore the reality exposed by these election outcomes.

Oh I don't think it was a major reason. He may have regretted it at first but that may have been bullshit. Now he's one of the most powerful people in the world, politically, until Trump turns on him.
