I expect the left to "go start their own Twitter"

Obviously we were never going to be allowed to mainstream a Twitter competitor. Go start your own (and we'll brand it a hate platform and block you from the appstores, ban you from host servers, debank your financing)
Now for the left, I don't think such competitive barriers exist. I anticipate some billionaire activists (Bezos/Amazon Gates/Microsoft Soros) can plant some seed money, hire Twitters soon to be laid off work force, buy off blue check celebrity social influencers to denounce Twitter and encourage everyone to join them on _______, MSM pushes the narrative that people that matter are moving to ______ leaving doubts as to the future of Twitter, Concern troll stories about Twitter increasingly becoming a platform for hate and extremist conduct, advertisers are spooked/pressured to leave Twitter, Twitter is branded as an extremist platform and blacklisted in the app stores etc etc.
I don't think it's far fetched at all. Control of the narrative and silencing of dissent is everything to the Democrat establishment. If they can't ban you and brand you as an extremist, what else do they have? I believe these people absolutely have to regain control of their propaganda machine.

This will happen once they reinstate Trump.

I completely think this is what will happen. But it will take years to get it supported and the infrastructure in place.

It almost has to be an Amazon branded project right? It gives whatever they come up with an immediate brand attraction and credibility. And with Amazon much of the necessary infrastructure or ability to build it already exists.

They did already. Can't think of the name of it though.

They are like an animal that is smart enough to build a trap, but dumb enough to fall into it.

I thought that's what Tik Tok, Facebook, and Instagram were for.

They will get it done quickly. Elon Musk paid a Bizillion dollars for Twitter.... The people that invented, ran, marketed Twitter are not going to just go away. They got paid once, and will get paid again. It is the natural evolution of the free market..

Twitter has way too much skin in the game. Some leftists will boycott Twitter then find they don’t have a voice anywhere else, maybe even start another platform, once it fails, they’ll be back in droves.

They should have their own..... as I'm all for the parallel economy. But have no illusions that the left's economy won't need periodic capital infusions from the Right's to keep it solvent.

Won't take long considering most big tech and our government have a fascistic relationship.

Once social platforms start being neutral I expect the FCC and government to finally start regulating hard. Typical bullshite.

They tried to start their own radio talk show to counter Rush Limbaugh. It didn't work.
And then DU is such a success as a political talk board.

I think it's called "Democrat Underground"

Your premise is flawed in that you believe leftists actually want to get out there and create something of their own. They don’t. They would much rather someone else put in all the effort and then take it over like they do everything else. Take CNN for example, they didn’t create it but look at what they managed to do it. Same with Twitter. Twitter wasn’t created as an outlet for left wing lunatics but it didn’t take them long to turn it into what it became.

Musk is getting the Paypal guys back together, and Jack Dorsey is helping now - they'll introduce payment systems using crypto and combine paypal with twitter functionalities.
Musk is not going to fail, he's thinking too far ahead.
