Twitter banned Trump because he’s not worth $2B to the brand anymore

With Donald Trump’s 2024 ambitions bloodstained by the death of five people during the siege of the Capitol that he encouraged, Twitter finally decided to ban the president’s personal account permanently. While Twitter still allows Iran to publicly plot the eradication of Israel and China to lie about its genocide of the Uigurs on the forum, it claims that it banned Trump for two violations of “Glorification for Violence”: that he tweeted that he wouldn’t attend President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration and that he called those who voted for him “great American Patriots” after the Capitol catastrophe.

If this reasoning feels fallacious, it’s because Twitter was in search of a rationale in search of a conclusion. But Twitter isn’t banning Trump out of any sort of principle over enabling his rise. Instead, it has made the calculated prediction that Trump cannot contend in a 2024 primary after Wednesday’s disaster, and thus, as an irrelevant private citizen relegated to Mar-a-Lago, he is no longer worth the estimated $2 billion value of the company’s more than $40 billion market cap.
