Is This Why Trump Hasn’t Gone Back to Twitter Yet?

Throughout Elon Musk’s months-long ordeal to take control of Twitter and its internal workings, there was speculation that former President Donald Trump’s account could be reinstated. After Musk entered Twitter HQ and began firing the old guard of censor-happy leaders, including the c-suite executive who spearheaded the Trump ban, that talk escalated until it culminated with Elon Musk putting the decision on Trump’s Twitter fate in the hands of the platform’s users.

That poll saw a majority of the millions who chimed in on Musk’s Twitter poll vote to reinstate @realDonaldTrump, and indeed his profile is back on the site with all its years-old tweets available to peruse again.

But even before his account was reinstated last week, Trump insisted on his own platform, Truth Social, that he wasn’t going anywhere and would remain active away from Twitter.

A lot of the talk about Trump’s potential return to Twitter, however, has glossed over some of the legalese that was included when the 45th president’s Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) merged with Digital World Acquisition Corp. (DWAC). TMTG, as an SEC filing concerning the merger explains, has a “royalty-free license agreement with President Trump and DTTM Operations, LLC, an entity that licenses President Trump’s name and regulates his personal media assets.”

That agreement gives TMTG “a royalty-free license to use ‘Trump Media & Technology Group Corp.’ as our name and certain specified domain names. In addition, TMTG has a royalty-free license to use the name and likeness of President Trump, subject to certain limitations.” (Read more from “Is This Why Trump Hasn’t Gone Back to Twitter Yet?” HERE)
