Former U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan to create a new social media app after Twitter Inc and Facebook Inc barred him from their platforms this year won an endorsement from investors on Thursday who sent shares in a shell company backing the effort soaring.

Trump Media and Technology Group and Digital World Acquisition Corp, a Special Purpose Acquisition Vehicle, said on Wednesday https://www.reuters.com/world/us/former-us-president-donald-trump-launches-new-social-media-platform-2021-10-21 they would merge to create a new social media app called TRUTH Social. Trump’s company said it plans a beta launch next month and a full roll-out in the first quarter of 2022.

Shares of Miami-based Digital World surged 140% to $23.53 on the Nasdaq. SPACs such as Digital World use money raised through an initial public offering to take a private company public.

May the Trump Media Empire Strike Back!

On August 1, 1988, Rush Limbaugh's first Broadcast was the start of putting the Truth on Talk Radio, and the Left has never been able to compete on talk radio ever since.

I’m kicking myself - I bought in premarket at just under 11 and I wish I’d put in more money - lol

It it hits 55 I’ll take out 20% and my original investment, else we’ll let it ride

The question is what do you think a new social media platform by Trump is worth and what is the potential ?

Twitter is worth $52 Billion with 775 million shares in float
Facebook is worth $963 Billion with 2.4 billion shares float

Trump’s is worth about $2-3 Billion so far depending on the close and only 19.8 million shares in float

This is not the only stock I own by the way

Thanks Joann, I should have included “Special Purpose Acquisition Company” in my comment.

To all you investor geeks.
Can this stock split? Or whatever its called?

I know my mom had KC stock way back when and it split a couple times.

Hope you make a killing, and the Marxist Social Media winds up dead.

I don’t think it will have time to split, it has a lifespan of only two years in which it will become a specific stock of a specific company, or be refunded to the stock owner.

“””May the Trump Media Empire Strike Back!”””


FReepers just imagine a Trump Media Empire (TME) where:
1. Conservative politicians spend their campaign advertising dollars on TME instead of ABC, CBS, etd.
2. Corporations advertise their products on TME because they know conservatives have the money to spend on their products.
3. People can freely discuss their opinions on TME instead of being censored by FB and TWTR.
4. Conservatives buy shares in DWAC and make millions as the mainstream media and FB and TWTR go bankrupt.

What glorious opportunities await us.

That type of investing is not for me. I prefer to stick a set amount into S&P index funds each month and wait 40 years.

The slow and steady way to become wealthy.
