About 12 hours later, Musk sent a follow-up tweet, saying Truth Social is a terrible name for a platform, adding that it only exists because Twitter censored free speech. He later sent another tweet suggesting Truth Social should be called “Trumpet” instead.

Why It Matters: Trump said this week he would not be returning to Twitter, indicating that he doesn’t view the platform as competition.

As Musk takes the company over, with his declared mission of making Twitter a place for fair and free speech, it will be the top rival to Truth Social, which, as part of the Trump Media & Technology Group, is being taken public by the special purpose acquisition company Digital World Acquisition Corp (NASDAQ:DWAC).

TWTR, DWAC Price action: Twitter's stock is trading 7% higher to $48.72 over the past five days, while Digital World is trading 1.16% higher in the same time period, according to data by Benzinga Pro.
