Trump social media startup receives commitment of $1 billion from unidentified 'diverse group' of investors
Former
President Trump’s social media group, Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (TMTG), along with its blank-check company announced on Saturday it had received a commitment of $1 billion from an unidentified “diverse group of institutional investors.”
TMTG and blank-check company Digital World Acquisition Corp.
said that "subscription agreements for $1 billion in committed capital" would be received from an unknown group of investors once both TMTG and Digital World are combined.
In October, Trump
announced that he would be creating a social media network dubbed “Truth Social” and its full launch is expected in the first quarter of 2022. The network has been advertised as a platform “that encourages open global conversation without discrimination on the basis of political ideology.”
“$1 billion sends an important message to Big Tech that censorship and political discrimination must end. America is ready for TRUTH Social, a platform that will not discriminate on the basis of political ideology. As our balance sheet expands, TMTG will be in a stronger position to fight back against the tyranny of Big Tech," Trump, who is listed as TMTG’s chairman, said in a statement.
“I am confident that TMTG can effectively deploy this capital to accelerate and strengthen the execution of its business, including by continuing to attract top talent, hire top technology providers, and roll out significant advertising and business development campaigns," Digital World CEO and chairman Patrick Orlando said in a statement.
TMTG is also expecting to debut a subscription-based video streaming service called TMTG+, which will feature “non-woke” news, entertainment, podcasts and other content.

Hope the 'not discriminate on the basis of political ideology' allows the good people of the Earth to have their voices heard and spam the shit out of the site.
