YES = Donald Trump WILL tweet at least once in 2023
NO = Donald Trump will NOT tweet at least once in 2023
Flipping my bet again, given that DWAC did manage to extend the merger and looks like it will survive 2023.

I've changed my belief on this based on learning how large the potential financial interest is in the SPAC and how likely I now believe the merger will fail: https://manifold.markets/itsTomekK/will-realdonaldtrump-tweet-in-2023#nlQM6ow3g4Wm8FENKOXR

On SEC financial disclosure forms, Trump has listed TMTG's value as $5 million to $25 million.
This is somewhat misleading to someone reading, because the potential value from a merger will be much higher.
The most relevant quote for me, from "From a business perspective, it’s very smart he’s only on Truth. From a political perspective, he needs to be on Twitter."
The article doesn't discuss how large the potential financial interest is but from what I've read it is very large (at current value of the stock, hundreds of millions or more) even accounting for dilution of his shares (according to others' calculations).
I'm surprised this market has been a pretty stable coin toss. I think Trump is a man of his word in this case and will stick to truth social this year but not because of principles or being scorned, but because "his people" are all already on there and that might be all he needs in another crowded primary where he can go hog wild with his base. So, I am betting no.
@higherLEVELING He can tweet, but there are terms which restrict him from posting to Twitter first. It needs to be staggered like 6 hours unless it’s explicitly political I believe. The SEC filings were cited in one of the duplicate markets which contain the real info
@Gen Oh okay I have seen those markets. It just seemed like he had the opportunity to take some of the spotlight off of desantis during the twitter announcement if he had just tweeted. There are other moments that seem like the perfect time for him to return to twitter, so I just thought there must be something that was stopping him from tweeting. But you're saying he is allowed to tweet. He has the ability to, but is choosing not to. I guess as time passes, there's a chance that he might change his mind and go back on twitter.
Hes posting on instagram... just one more hop over to twitter

@Blomfilter - ehhh...idk. Elon has abandoned Trump for DeSantis (DeSantis got to announce his campaign on Elon/Twitter's shiny new Twitter Spaces) and everyone knows how Trump loves to hold a grudge. The fact that the easiest way to spite the richest man in the world is to not use Twitter might mean Trump goes full Meta.
@Gen - Dang. Made that classic Clinton/DeSantis blunder - forgot for a second Trump plays 5D chess 🧠🧠🧠
