That doesn’t apply to any messages about political stuff, fundraising, or getting out the vote. > **[TruthSocial won't have exclusive rights to Donald Trump's political posts](https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2022/05/truthsocial-wont-have-exclusive-rights-to-donald-trumps-political-posts/)** > > And the former president can't be fired for "dishonest, illegal, immoral, or unethical" conduct. > DWAC disclosed in Monday’s filing TruthSocial does have exclusive rights to _some_ of Trump’s social media postings—but it won’t have a monopoly on the type of political red meat that made Trump such a draw on Twitter in the first place. In general, Trump will be obligated to post content on TruthSocial six hours before it can be published anywhere else. But there’s a massive loophole: These rules don’t apply to any content that is related to political messaging, political fundraising, or get-out-the-vote efforts. Those can be posted anywhere Trump wants, whenever he wants. I imagine those are the kinds of tweets he’d really like to make now that he officially announced his candidacy. But even though he can use Twitter, apparently he has concerns about Truth Social. Now that it is tied to him so tightly, its failure is his failure, and his snowflake ego can’t stand looking like a loser. > **[Trump has reportedly told people he can't leave his Twitter clone Truth...](https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-cant-leave-truth-social-twitter-risks-hurting-brand-report-2022-11)** > > Trump has publicly said he wouldn't rejoin Twitter if his account is reinstated because he's committed to Truth Social. > Trump has told people that he can’t ditch [Truth Social](https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-truth-social-media-app-review-ghost-town-overrun-bots-2022-3) — the social-media platform he launched after being banned from Twitter and Meta-owned Facebook last year — because it’s too intertwined with his image and brand to let it fail ---

Elon reinstated Individual 1 after a poll dominated by bots, and responded with , “Vox populi, vox dei”, “The voice of people is the voice of God”.
