The market cap for Truth Social is $4.5B, which is fucking bananas when you consider that this is a home-rolled Mastadon instance that hasn't even been patched since 2022.
I'm not saying Trump is a billionaire, or even a good businessman, but holy shit how crazy is it that people are trading $35/share for something their grandkids could put together over a long weekend of free time?
The price is based on the size of the cult of delusional racists who worship Donald, it has little to do with the tech. Imagine how much you could charge for ivermectin ads if you can guarantee they'll be in front of an audience of cultists!
I hardly have to imagine. As a Texas resident with a few friends who own horses, I can say firsthand that the ivermectin lie has cleared stocks from shelves for gullible rubs that was much needed for actual horse medicine

I think you are interpreting this wrong... people are paying $35 a share because one of two reasons:
they are completely deluded and think of Trump as a literal messiah
they think $35 a share for a complete slut that would do anything but with the powers of the US Presidency is a bargain
It also took in a grand total of $4M in revenue last year. Not profit, revenue. Like, I think Nvidia is insanely overvalued based on AI hype, but they do have $61B in revenue on a $2,240B market valuation. Even that's out of wack, but the ratio there is orders of magnitude better than Truth Social.
What do you mean? They are the perfect target audience for lots of things, all in one place. Reverse mortgages, penis pills, VPN services (since you can't discretely view porn in Texas without it), etc.

When it comes to humans, sometimes they focus more on style, than the substance.
You'd think they'd be more careful with their money, especially these days when there is so little of it to go around, but no, their favorite star tells them otherwise.
Remember how idiot kids were banding together to send Kylie Jenner money just to her from $900 million to billionaire status? Their moron parents are the ones buying Trump shoes and bibles.
He haa been lying about his net worth since the 80's. It's all "self-reported" wealth.
He inherited $400 mil from his father and pissed it all away. The rest has been un-repaid loans and one-sided partnerships. He has never actually been a billionaire at all, unless you count debt as net worth.
What about into the planet? Maybe if we start sacrificing billionaires to random volcano gods, things will finally change somewhat. (And yeeting bloated oligarchs into volcanoes is a lot cheaper and more environmentally friendly than launching their corpulent butts into space.)
That is going to hurt his overblown ego more than anything else. He is deadly afraid that his supporters might finally realize that the wannabe-emporer is indeed naked.
Hey this photo makes him look like Jimmy Carter!....no wait, no, it's just this cat scratching my left eye and bird poop on my right eye. The bird poop makes his hair white. It's okay I just need to spray soda into both eyes for 15 minutes as described by the CDC for these sort of specific visual hallucination about Jimmy Carter. Very similar to the one about Jim Cary the day when I met putin in his drainage pipe. I thought he was so funny but it was just a bee in my ear and his thick russian phlegm. But that's a story for another phlegm... nothing rhymes with phlegm that I know of, have you noticed?
Thanks, I try my best. Hopefully between now and voting day we don't get bamboozled into voting Trump. I feel like we could just all vote now, what's the point of waiting months to allow this asshole to try something else?
