Trump’s Truth Social Has Lost $73M Since Launch, New Filing Shows: The company that TMTG is planned to merge with, DWAC, broke out the surprising results in a securities filing Monday.::Truth Social Losses and Revenue revealed for first time as Trump social platform discloses financial data and says it is a “going concern”

The amended S-4 filing also broke out a number of updates and risk factors related to the company, including the fact that the long-planned streaming video service appears to be off the table for now.
The filing makes no mention of the service (which was teased with conservative comedy specials and “Trump-specific programming”) except in relation to layoffs.

In May of 2022, Trump agreed to make Truth Social his primary social platform, agreeing not to post on other platforms until 6 hours after he sends a “Truth.” However, since initially signing the deal with TMTG, Elon Musk acquired Twitter and reinstated Trump’s account (he also rebranded it as “X.”)
