As the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-impeachment-trial-day-1-live-updates-watch-2021-2">Senate began its impeachment trial</a>, Twitter's management tried to ease investors into the company's life without Trump.</p><p>Unlike the Senate, which is deciding whether to ban Trump from political office, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/twitter-suspended-president-donald-trumps-account-permanently-2021-1">Twitter has already booted him</a> from its realm. It's the consequence of this action with which Twitter must now contend.</p><ul><li><strong>Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey</strong> assured investors <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/twitter-earnings-q4-revenue-eps-new-users-2021-2">during the company's quarterly earnings call Tuesday</a> that the company is "obviously much larger than any one topic or any one account."</li><li><strong>But the loss of Trump</strong> is also, obviously, much more significant than subtracting a single "monetizable daily active user" (to use Twitter's preferred term) from <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/twitter-earnings-q4-revenue-eps-new-users-2021-2">the company's latest tally of 192 million.</a></li><li><strong>How many of <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/top-conservatives-moving-to-parler-after-trumps-ban-from-twitter-2021-1">Trump's followers have quit Twitter</a> </strong>in solidarity? How much less engaged will Twitter's users be without the daily dose of <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-threatens-shut-down-platforms-after-tweets-tagged-warning-2020-5">provocative tweets</a> from the platform's most <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-incites-harassment-twitter-employee-over-fact-checking-2020-5">obstreperous user</a>? And how do you even measure the loss of exposure that Twitter will suffer by not having every newspaper and TV news program cite it when reporting on Trump's latest comments?</li></ul><p>I don't think I heard the name Trump cross anyone's lips during the entire conference call, but there was a lot of talk about the impact of certain "account closures" and recent "unusual circumstances." Twitter pointed out that the absolute number of new users in January (<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-silicon-valley-banished-donald-trump-in-48-hours-2021-1?r=kc-sub">the month Trump was banned</a>) was above the historical average of the last four years. The user growth rate for the current quarter however is expected to be 20%, which is below the 24% rate at which its audience grew at the same time last year.</p><p>The company is not "dependent on just news and politics being what drives Twitter," Dorsey said.</p><p>"What we are excited about, especially in the future," he continued, "is helping everyone unlock more of the long-tail topics and interests."</p><p>What seemed clear is that post-Trump Twitter marks a new era in the evolution of the social network's business. From almost its inception more than 13 years ago, Twitter has pitched itself as a personality-driven social network. Facebook is where you connect with people you know, Twitter is where you "follow" people you may or may not know. </p><p>As Twitter said in its <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1418091/000119312513424260/d564001ds1a.htm">IPO prospectus</a> in 2013, the company's business is partly dependent on being the platform of choice for "influential users, such as world leaders, government officials, celebrities, athletes" and other muckety-mucks.</p><ul><li>Ditching Trump doesn't mean Twitter no longer values having blue-check rainmakers like Barack Obama (129 million followers), Justin Bieber (113 million followers), and Katy Perry (109 million followers).</li><li>But it's also probably not a coincidence that the company is now exploring alternative revenue models, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-02-08/twitter-considers-subscription-fee-for-tweetdeck-unique-content">as Bloomberg recently reported,</a> including premium features like an<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/twitter-explores-tipping-subscription-features-un-send-tweet-button-report-2021-2">"un-send" button</a> and a subscription-based ad-free offering.</li></ul><p><strong>Postscript:</strong> I decided to check how much of a "Trump Bump" Twitter's stock has enjoyed over the past five years or so. Turns out, it's nothing to write home about. In fact, not only did Facebook's and Google's stocks outperform Twitter by leaps and bounds since June 2015 (when Trump announced his candidacy), Twitter's stock (in blue) even underperformed the Nasdaq during this period.</p><p>Maybe life after Trump for Twitter won't be so much worse after all? </p><div type="image" title="Twitter Trump stock" height="1392" width="2784" msid="80787555" hostid="261"></div><h2><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/alibaba-jack-ma-softbank-masayoshi-son-send-drawings-2021-2">Quote of the week:</a> </h2><h3><em>"Thirty minutes or so, before I go to bed, I draw some drawings ...

Each suite has its own door that can be shut for extra privacy, as well as expandable desk space, wireless device charging, built-in cubbies and a reading lamp with mood lighting options.</p><h2><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jetblue-unveils-new-mint-business-class-seat-european-flights-2021-2"><div type="image" title="JetBlue Airways Mint Suite" height="1250" width="2500" msid="80787560" hostid="261"></div></a></h2><p>The new suites were designed for JetBlue's new transatlantic flights to Boston, due to begin whenever the pandemic allows. But the airline will also offer the suites on its New York to Los Angeles flights starting in June. </p><p>For those with particularly unpleasant work-from-home setups, it might be worth buying a round-trip ticket just to be able to use one of these airborne offices.</p><h2>Recommended Readings:</h2><p><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/leaked-matt-garman-emails-reveal-details-amazon-aws-sales-strategy-2021-2">Leaked emails from one of the frontrunners for Amazon Web Services CEO reveal details about the cloud giant's sales strategy</a></p><p><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/sextortion-snapchat-teens-nudes-extortion-online-bullying-2021-2">Snapchat's teenage users are getting sextorted.
