Twitter Deal Is Dead: Trump Celebrates Elon Musk Pulling Out of $44b Deal To Buy Social Media Giant

Donald Trump has gloated about Elon Musk ending his efforts to buy Twitter, writing: 'THE TWITTER DEAL IS DEAD, LONG LIVE THE “TRUTH”.'

The former president shared his thoughts on his own rival social network Truth Social Friday evening, shortly after it emerged that Musk, 51, had withdrawn a $44 billion bid.
 
Trump's post was liked close to 37,000 times, and shared more than 9,000 times on Truth, where Trump has 3.5 million followers.

He set up the Twitter look-a-like after being banned by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey in January 2020, days after the Capitol riots.
