Time to start a pool on how many days until it completely folds? This will need to be added to the lengthy list of Trump associated businesses which went bankrupt and disappeared while failing to pay their vendors. Trump’s Truth Social reportedly owes over $1 million in backdated payments https://fortune.com/2022/08/29/trump-truth-social-debt-million-sec-spac-merger/ Truth Social, former U.S. President Donald Trump’s alternative social media platform, is showing signs of financial weakness, with sources alleging that it hasn’t paid major bills since its launch earlier this year. Truth Social owes approximately $1.6 million to technology company RightForge, Fox Businessfirst reported last week. The company, billed as a right-wing internet hosting service “without the Big Tech censorship,” provides Truth Social’s internal infrastructure. While the company has not made a public statement on the status of its payments, its top executive has continued to affirm his support of the former president. (More at above url)

There are strong indications of Joel Zamel's Psy-Group of Cambridge Analytica fame pushing Qanon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Zamel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psy-Group https://www.thestreet.com/phildavis/news/qanon-is-an-attack-on-democracy-and-must-be-eliminated
Haven't heard of Psy-Group, thanks for the links. Cambridge Analytica, "The Great Hack" revealed quite a background of their inner workings. edit: "On August 3, 2016, Zamel participated in a high-level meeting with Donald Trump Jr., Erik Prince, Stephen Miller and George Nader. This was followed by a post inauguration meeting in December 2016 with George Nader, Steve Bannon former vice president of Cambridge Analytica,[12] and Jared Kushner[13][14] After the 2016 Trump election win, Zamel's company Psy Group formed a partnership with Cambridge Analytica to jointly bid for contracts with the American Government.[15] In December 2016, George Nader used WhiteKnight, based in the Philippines, to purchase a presentation demonstrating the impact of social media campaigns on Donald Trump's electoral victory.[13]"

LOL 'I don’t need financing. I’m really rich!': Trump snaps at reports that Truth Social is in trouble https://www.rawstory.com/donald-trump-truth-social/
Very true. An onslaught of “free speech” mis/disinformation is the vulnerability of an uneducated democratic electorate. Putin and the KGB are masters of this art. The "microblog" is the basis. It comes in the form of a phone picture of what looks like published material - generally as a cropped view of a print publication - the page of a book or the snippet of a magazine article. This gets posted on a lower-tier clickbait website until a higher tier media channel picks it up. Memes are created. Then this initial post is deleted. When fact-checking and tracing these viral memetic posts, the trail stops at this tier. The original post can never be traced to source material.
Trump SPAC Digital World falls for fourth day as extension vote approaches https://seekingalpha.com/news/38775...s-for-fourth-day-as-extension-vote-approaches
Trump-linked SPAC to resume meeting Thursday as it seeks votes to delay merger with ex-president’s firm https://www.cnbc.com/2022/09/06/shares-of-trump-spac-fall-after-merger-extension-vote-fails.html Shares of Digital World Acquisition fell after the company ended its meeting and sought votes to delay a merger with Trump Media and Technology Group. DWAC has previously warned that a failure to extend the deal with the Truth Social-owner could result in liquidation of the SPAC. The stock is significantly off its highs as the companies face federal investigations into possible securities violations, and as Trump faces his own probes. Digital World also submitted a securities filing Tuesday that highlighted one of Trump’s recent “Truths” on his Truth Social platform that cast more doubt on the SPAC deal. (More at above url)
