Trump Media Stock Plummets, Wiping Billions from Trump's Net Worth
Donald Trump's media company suffers a massive stock drop, raising questions about its valuation and ties to the upcoming election.
- Trump Media & Technology Group, owner of Truth Social, saw its stock price drop by over 20% in a single day, marking its worst trading day since going public.
- The stock's value had surged in recent weeks, driven by speculation over Trump's election chances, before the sudden decline erased billions from Trump's net worth.
- Trading of DJT stock was halted multiple times due to volatility, as investors reacted to the dramatic shifts in the company's stock price.
- Analysts are puzzled by the company's high valuation given its low revenue and user base compared to competitors like Elon Musk's X.
- Despite the stock's volatility, Trump, who owns a majority stake, has vowed not to sell his shares, aligning the stock's fate closely with his political prospects.
