Someone starting up a competing service without political censorship. Trump's 65M subscribers are likely a very mobile customer base and will follow wherever he flitters off to, to the ruin of Twitter.
Twitter has a lot of negative baggage. They don't want to give a competitor a quaranteed 65M subscriber base on startup.

Precisely. And many key parts of his constituency are clued into what a bunch of censoring Leftists that Twitter’s management are. Many at Free Republic and, more importantly, Reddit /The_Donald know this, and are ready to jump.
It would cost billions to start up a competing Twitter. It isn’t going to happen, even with 65M followers.
Trump would be a powerful enemy of Twitter. He could initiate legislation against their interest, sign executive orders against them and lobby others state, local and national against their interest.
No way in hell these twitter boys are going to go out of their way to piss off trump.
