> Why would Twitter want to be associated with a guy who attempted to overthrow the US government?

Because there's a better than even odds chance he'll be the next POTUS and if you're a billionaire with a reputation (deserved or no) for sketchiness, why antagonise the party that explicitly supports sketchy billionaires?

Trump will not be eligible to run in 2024 because he engaged in seditious conspiracy against the government. He will be disqualified under the 14th amendment along with his sycophants.

"Fourteenth Amendment

Section 3 No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."

No, thats not going to happen.

The supreme court, which is 6-3 conservative would not let Trump be disqualified like you are suggesting.
