The funniest thing about Truth Social is that it’s a fork of Mastodon.

Mastodon.world cost $1200 to run last month. And running it was hobby-level effort by a guy who admins lemmy.world AND has a proper day job and family.

They’re selling ads and have a couple web devs to tweak their version of Mastodon, and they can’t even pull in enough ad revenue to make that work. 😆

Fucking clown shoes.

Clone Twitter, a famously unprofitable business, then remove cool celebrities and fill it with Nazis, misogynists, and other people that advertisers and their customers hate.

Profit?

The amount of evidence it has gathered for future FBI investigations?…priceless

I know people who ostensibly voted for this chode because of his businesses acumen.

to whom?

who got the money?

Those are rookie numbers. Some guy lost 500 times more on another social media platform in a shorter timespan.

Serious question, because I refuse to even subject my eyeballs to that dime-store-knockoff: Is anyone besides Trump himself actually posting on there?

All I ever see is his own drivel. I've posted youtube videos with more likes. I've never seen anyone not named Trump even post there.

How is a site that exclusively caters to the stream of consciousness of exactly one person supposed to make money? Especially when that stream of consciousness is going to be covered by every major network anyway? Even if you're a die-hard MAGA supporter, there's literally no reason to go onto the site. Just watch Newsmax. They'll cover it anyway.

It baffles me that he even got funding for this. I don't care what people think of his politics; there was never a scenario where this business model was ever going to work.

LOL! Amazing businessman. LOL!

management has substantial doubt that TMTG will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due, including liabilities related to promissory notes previously issued by TMTG

i hear another Trump Bankruptcy Train 'a comin down the tracks wooo woooo

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The numbers were revealed in a new financial disclosure from TMTG’s SPAC merger partner Digital World Acquisition Corp.

The filing indicates that, if TMTG is unable to complete the merger with DWAC, and receive the pot of money on the line, it may not survive.

The amended S-4 filing also broke out a number of updates and risk factors related to the company, including the fact that the long-planned streaming video service appears to be off the table for now.

The filing makes no mention of the service (which was teased with conservative comedy specials and “Trump-specific programming”) except in relation to layoffs.

“This action followed a review of all departments, most significantly impacted TMTG’s streaming video on demand (SVOD) and infrastructure teams.”

In May of 2022, Trump agreed to make Truth Social his primary social platform, agreeing not to post on other platforms until 6 hours after he sends a “Truth.” However, since initially signing the deal with TMTG, Elon Musk acquired Twitter and reinstated Trump’s account (he also rebranded it as “X.”)
