DeSantis Blows Up on the Launch Pad
Taegan Goddard, writing at Political Wire on Ron DeSantis’s much-ballyhooed campaign launch on Twitter Spaces yesterday:
In the end, the event had all of the appeal of a glitchy conference call.
Apparently, the event eventually did launch, but it was stuck with constant problems. When moderator David Sacks, a venture capitalist and former PayPal product lead, first unmuted himself to start the talk, the Space was filled with loud, echoing feedback sounds before quickly going silent. The accounts of DeSantis and Sacks popped in and out of the initial room, muting and unmuting themselves before leaving entirely.
Politics aside, what a shit show. And a complete disaster for DeSantis, Elon Musk and Twitter.
