Truth Social Struggles Amid Trump Media

Despite a high valuation, Truth Social's user base continues to shrink, while Trump Media faces scrutiny over alleged short-selling practices.

  • Truth Social's daily active users in the U.S. have declined by 19% year over year, with the platform now attracting around 113,000 users despite the ongoing Trump trial and election focus.
  • Trump Media's stock has been highly volatile, with shares initially spiking but recently trading at significantly lower levels after going public.
  • CEO Devin Nunes has urged House committees to investigate alleged illicit short-selling of Trump Media shares by eight financial firms, raising concerns about market manipulation.
  • Truth Social's market valuation is questioned by analysts due to its small size and limited user growth compared to larger social media platforms.
  • Despite claims of expansion from Trump Media, Truth Social's web and app traffic continues to fall, underperforming most of its social media rivals.
