5. Truth Social is marketing these accounts as a way to profit from companies that benefit from Trump's policies.

"At a time when the foundations of American prosperity are shifting, it's critical that our investment strategies reflect the values that define us"

So what companies embody extortion, fascism, fraud, and discrimination? I assume those are the “values” he means.

6. Why is Truth Social, a social media company, offering investment products?

It is failing as a social media company.

In 2024, the company lost over $400 million on revenues of just $3.6 million.

It refuses to release any information about the number of people who use the service.

I'm surprised he's using Truth instead of X, but I guess Elon wanted some percentage of that money and that was a big obstacle to make a collab.

But they tout the number of shareholders! That’s a number. Sure, it’s a meaningless number, but it’s accurate and a number.

OK Judd, how is Bluesky being funded?

justaguybluesky.bsky.social•3 days ago

De-centralized computer modeling. It used a protocol called AT. Which is like http that web browsers use to access website. Bluesky content are distributed across personally owned servers similar to websites are for web browsers. No centralized server costs in data centers like Amazon cloud,

Truth Social makes less revenue than a single McDonald's franchise

Without knowing anything except that it’s a Trump property, I’m guessing this is a Ponzi scheme.

Christ on a cracker.

Anyone who hands over control of their money to the failsons running this enterprise is a complete moron.

Trump is literally turning on. Faucet of money for himself and his oligarchs.

Their investments are being managed by Schwab.

The same Charles Schwab whose granddaughter works in the White House.

The same Charles Schwab that The Felon bragged made $2.5 Billion off of the market reaction to the #TrumpTariff shenanigans last week:

2019:

Charles Schwab, a true American oligarch, shows no signs of slowing at 82, throwing his substantial fortune behind Donald Trump, hard-right politics and his continuing financial services revolution

8. MAGA idiots will lose even more money to yet another Trump, et al. grift.

Is Trump Media a Registered Investment Advisor? Company can't offer fee-based investment advisory services unless registered and approved by the SEC. Not that a minor detail like that would stop them

mollykh.bsky.social•5 days ago

Nor should they offer guaranteed future insider trading accounts…but truth social peeps are that stupid.

chiefjoer.bsky.social•5 days ago

This is good work. The insider trading stuff and rampant corruption could lead our markets to bad places c

justaguybluesky.bsky.social•3 days ago

Another Trump failure. The only good thing was that Devin Nunes left congress to lose money with it.

sallyny.bsky.social•4 days ago
