TMTG (Trump Media and Technology Group) recently proposed a Truth Social social platform.
The former United States President, Donald Trump, was banned from Twitter and Facebook in 2021. This happened probably due to the United States Capitol Attack in 2021. Following this, he also launched a site called “From the Desk of Donald J. Trump.”
On this site, he posted an announcement in a Short tweet format. However, this site was shut down in less than a month. The former President then decided to launch a new social media platform- Truth Social.
FEBRUARY Launch of “Truth Social”
According to an Apple Inc. app store listing, Donald Trump’s Truth Social is set to launch in February 2022. It is claimed that the app will officially launch on 21st February 2022.
Recently on a news channel, Donald Trump Jr. said that Truth Social is “a Big Tent, an open and Free Network for people to be able to communicate, to exercise your First Amendment rights.”
This website is being regarded as Trump’s attempt to gain his megaphone back.
It was claimed to have a beta trial in November, but it missed its deadline. Jason Miller praised the platform Truth Social and said it might affect Twitter and Facebook by lowering their market share.

Truth Social is available on the app store. It can also be accessed through the website on your PC.

Technology and Finance
The posts made by the users are called ‘Truths.’ The reposts are called ‘retruths.’ Similarly, the news feed is called ‘Truth feed.’ The idea is very similar to the social media site Twitter.
Mastodon, a free and open-source social network hosting software, is customized for Truth Social.
After the announcement of the launch of Truth Social, SPAC and DWAC announced a merger with TMTG. TMTG was valued at $875 million on 21 October 2021.
After the announcement of Truth Social, DWAC also saw a rise of 400%.
The highly volatile stock of the company was compared to GameStop Short Squeeze. SPACs raise funds from investors by first selling the shares to the public. They then acquire unknown private companies.
Many of the SPACs investors were unaware of the fact that their money would be used to finance Trump’s company.

TMTG said that along with SPACs and PIPE, Truth Social raised $1 billion in December 2021. The investors for the company are unidentified. The funding is expected to reach up to $3 billion, as reported by The Financial Times. According to the Digital World Stock Prices, the company is valued at $4 billion as of 3rd December 2021.
