“We believe there is value in hearing from Presidential nominees directly, when possible. Trump is now the official Republican nominee for US President.”

AKA: it's more profitable for us to let him stream his hatred on our platform again.

Probably not today but when he's back at the wheel. They want to be on his good side.

When has that ever worked out for anyone? Trump will fuck over anyone and everyone, he doesn't care about you unless you have something he needs from you.

Trump has worked out wonderfully for a lot of people from the 1%. Both as a result of tax cuts as well as regulatory favors for folks that pay up and / or make nice. Elon for example is in for plenty of return on investment.

Totally agree. He is only looking out for himself, and if you're someone like him, you might get some benefit as well. He's not going out of his way to help anyone who can't help him in someway. And even if you can help in some way, the nanosecond he doesn't need you anymore, he'll abandon you.

What happens when he starts saying insane and violent things again on stream?
