I'm a bit surprised that this fight with the POTUS doesn't have a stronger influence on Twitter's stock value.

He's not moving anywhere and any Twitter controversy gets more people to tweet about that controversy... Until he forces a significant part of his followers to leave, it's not a bad situation for Twitter to be in.

If they're going to block his tweets, why wouldn't Trump go elsewhere? It'll be interesting to see what he does do next.

They've blocked one tweet, and because there's no where else to go.

He could, but it would be a bit like Reddit/voat situation for an independent platform. Otherwise where can he go for remotely comparable publicity? IG/FB? I don't see FB working with his style of communication and it's not as easy to embed in news as Twitter. Ig would be closer.
