In this particular case he is the one 'involved' with Twitter as his account has been permanently banned. Of course he will make a comment about the change of leadership.
Well, yes, but it's only "of course" because it's Trump, and that's his nature -- moreso than because it's his right. It's also his right to say nothing. And even if Trump does say something, the media is not obligated to report it. The only purpose for the media to report Trump's comments is to agitate and divide.
But this is about more than just Trump. It's bigger than Trump. There were many many people purged from Twitter and other platforms for wrongspeak of one sort or another, and we're sure not going to hear the media reporting on every one.
What you are saying about the purge of accounts is true. And in general the purge of freedom of speech in many cases. I hope this changes and normality restored. I am not a fan of Elon Musk or anyone else.

It isn't a purge of free speech, it's a restoration of free speech by firing all the anti free speech people and the bots programmed to violate free speech.
We can wait and see if that happens right.

I meant what has happened until now was purge of free speech.

I sure miss the days when former presidents melted into the woodwork and refrained from commenting on political issues...And I wish the MSM would ignore him and not give him any air time... and I really wish Trump would just STHU!!! He had his chance. He gave it his best shot. It is what it is, unless he declares for another presidential run, he is no longer relevant.
The rest of us need to get on with the people's business and Trump is just getting in the way.
Oh, the media lust to have Trump stories. They want to make any elections about Trump to rally their base because most of the MSM is nothing more than DNC political operatives and activists now.

Hell YES!!!
I actually considered adding that at the end -- "Same for Obama" -- but I didn't want it to come off as whataboutism. Although, it's perhaps even more applicable to Obama, because he's still quite involved behind the scenes.
But definitely, YES!!!

Well, Trump is going to run again so he is still relevant, and that makes his crappy tweets still relevant too.

Exactly -- across the board. I know many conservative figures and organizations were banned as well. I know that many gender critical feminists were banned, as well as trans-critical gay individuals and groups. And we know that many doctors and health-related groups were purged over Covid issues.
But Trump is by far the most controversial and outrageous and therefore the best and easiest to rabble rouse and rile up the public.

Prayers up and fingers crossed!

When Trump actually declares and stops playing silly games, taunting/titillating his audiences, then he will be relevant.
Right now he's just a former prez at best, and a loser former prez who lost his second term at worst.
