    Haha, Trump increased his shares to 1 Billion shares, from 78 million. Squeezig everyone else out.

    Also, Truth Social values itself at $4Billion, LOL.

    It seems nothing here smells right, from the valuation of the company to somehow Trump declaring he has 1 billions shares of the company.

          The spac IPO took place a couple years ago.

          You’re talking about the de-spac, when the two companies merge and DW becomes public.

        How in the holy hell can that dumpster fire of a social media site be worth $4billion???

        Might be similar to selling books or shoes. It’ll be bought to give way more money than otherwise would be allowed. A wealthy donor might not be allowed to send the money directly. So they buy loads of books/shoes/etc.

        I mean… Trump has access to A LOT of idiots that would buy his turds. He could probably sell some overvalued shares to them.
