Trump's Truth Social stock?

It seems the launch is not going well. Not sure if they planned it like this or not, only offering an app and everyone is on a waiting list to access it. That being said, I think the alternative economy is a thing. Trying to read through the news, the stock is being targeted by negative press and wonder what's real and what's is leftist attacks (internal/external).

What the future bodes from what I can tell...Truth Social well open full scale, no waiting lists along with a website and android app. A search engine in the works. A merger with trump media corp. Is there a news network that will be rolled up into the company?

It would not surprise me that the SEC is going launch some political witch hunts but will they result in anything?

Any opinions that don't include just calling Trump names?

If musk takes over Twitter and implements the changes he has stated truth social will be up against an established platform with the same guidelines.

Much less growth potential then.

TMTG has a lot of good ideas but has poor execution.

Managing software engineering and tech startups requires a specific mentality with leadership that's not common outside of software engineering, and the lack of that mentality results in collaboration and communication problems and failure. You can see it here with Truth Social, but there's other high visibility rollout failures like the Obamacare website.

When leadership is over focused on governance and erects a governance-focused middle management structure rather than a collaboration-oriented, high-trust middle management structure, you get these types of failures with software engineering and tech efforts.

It's not unique to Trump, and it's also in the case of TMTG/DWAC not the fault of liberal adversaries. The failure point is internal to TMTG.

To avoid these failures, we need people who are in funding/owner/vc/leadership roles in conservative tech build efforts to

a) start talking to each other about their successes and failures, and
b) look at the management structures and cultures of the many successful liberal tech startups, and reorganize their companies to be like those companies, in terms of management roles and relationships with engineering

Truth Social is essentially dead on arrival already, but if Elon gets Twitter, it will be the final death blow of any alternative social media using centralized tech, with the possible exception of Gab.

I think Gab would survive Elon getting Twitter.

Twitter isn't a done deal. They are gonna fight tooth and nail to save their twitter. Somebody will prob come put of the woodwork with a counter.

Agree.

I think it will take weeks to months rather than days or years for it to come to a conclusion.
