With only a minuscule following six months after opening, there are increasing indications that Donald Trump's social media site Truth Social is having financial difficulties. According to a story on Fox Business Network published on Thursday, the site has stopped paying its host, RightForge, and now owes $1.6 million. Trump Media and Technology Group, the platform's parent firm, as well as RightForge did not respond to AFP's requests for comment. Ten months after it was announced, the parent company's merger with Digital World Acquisition Corp., a blank check company created specifically to carry out a merger, hasn't happened. The Trump campaign is expected to receive new financing as a result of this convergence.
A call for a special investor meeting on September 6 will be published by DWAC on Thursday. Shareholders will be asked to approve a one-year postponement of the merger until September 8 of 2023.
The blank check company claimed that it would be compelled to dissolve if there was no favourable vote for an extension.
According to financial information released on Thursday, DWAC had only $3,000 in cash on hand as of late June.
Truth Social describes itself as Donald Trump's response to social media sites like Twitter, which the past president used as a loud political bullhorn until he was kicked off of it in January 2021 after a mob he had incited attacked the US Capitol.
