    It’ll be interesting to see their numbers now that they’ve gone public.

      By the way you almost have to feel sorry for all the retail buyers out there. Many of them probably bought $400 sneakers only to see them selling for $99 a week later.

      As a reminder, Truth Social had less than $4MM of revenue in the first 3 quarters of last year, while blowing through $50MM in expenses that same period.

      And now those poor dupes bid the value of the enterprise up to 13B. Someone needs to tell them there are no greater fools to sell it to later.

        Yeah, tough call on whether to post about the “DJT” ticker in this thread here or in the “Never Ending Grift” thread. :man-shrugging:

            A heard a remarkable statistic and personally verified it.

            Truth Social’s revenues last year were less than half that of the average Cheesecake Factory restaurant.

                Oops. Hope nobody here put all there money in this stock.

                https://abcnews.go.com/US/shares-trumps-truth-social-drop-20-after-company/story?id=108721538

                Shares of former President Donald Trump's social media platform dropped more than 20% on Monday after the company disclosed a net loss at the end of last year of more than $58 million.

                The decline erased $2 billion in value and, with it, the value of Trump's majority stake of 57%.

                Before Trump Media and Technology Group joined forces with a shell company to go public last week, "management had substantial doubt that TMTG will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due," the company said in a regulatory filing.

                The company also conceded that "TMTG's success depends in part on the popularity of our brand and the reputation and popularity of President Trump. The value of TMTG's brand may diminish if the popularity of President Trump were to suffer."

                        I wonder how many of his less financially sophisticated followers blew their life-savings on those shares.

                        (And before I'm accused of being a condescending asshole I should admit that I consider myself financially unsophisticated when it comes to trading. Without a time-machine I'm never going to make any money)

                        I was only joking

                          If he becomes President and only uses Truth Social, it might drive a lot of new traffic.

                          So I’m guessing we’ll have to see if that pans out before it completely collapses.

                            Former President Donald Trump has sued the co-founders of Truth Social, alleging they mismanaged the social media platform early on and should therefore lose their stock in the company, which recently went public.

                            In papers filed last week in Florida state court, Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. argued that executives Wes Moss and Andy Litinsky made a series of costly mistakes that resulted in a long delay in the company’s going public and urged a judge to strip them of their shares in the company.

                            The pair, who were contestants on Trump's NBC show "The Apprentice," had pitched him on the idea of Truth Social after he was banned from what was then known as Twitter following the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

                            "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

                            The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                              Trump staked his reputation on that company.

                              Education is extremely important.

                                His reputation playing the perpetual victim of other people’s deeds remains untarnished.

                                His mob handle would undoubtedly be,

                                    Truth Social (DJT) stock is up more than 25% in the last month.

                                    Nice.

                                          Trump Media stock is once again slumping.

                                          Donald Trump’s social media venture reaudited its finances and filed them with the Securities and Exchange Commission Monday, confirming that the company had a whopping net loss of $58.2 million in 2023. As a result, Trump Media shares dropped more than 6 percent Monday afternoon.

                                          The company had to change auditors last month after its previous firm, BF Borgers, was charged with “massive fraud” and subsequently barred from ever serving as accountants again.
