The Trump business behind Truth Social is replacing a former congressman and big supporter of the U.S. president as leader of the social media platform after a stock collapse that wiped out billions in investor wealth.
Devin Nunes, a former California congressmen in Donald Trump’s first term, is being replaced temporarily by digital media executive Kevin McGurn as chief executive officer. The company, Trump Media & Technology, didn’t give a reason for Nunes leaving or provide a timeline for his permanent replacement.
After soaring shortly before Trump’s re-election in November 2024, stock in the company plunged 67%, wiping out more than $6 billion in investor wealth.
Who would have thought that Pedophile Trump would lose $6 billion in investor wealth so quickly? Do you suppose a particular bovine with mischievous tendencies might be behind this misdeed? Or was it the farmer’s fault?
Likely the latter.
I deleted my Twitter account years ago at, or shortly before, Space Karen started Sieg Heiling. So I haven’t been able to follow up on things there - but I hope the cow is doing fine.
I too left Twitter around the same time, and I really wish that Mastodon would just replace Twitter already. There is a certain silliness that occurs there that is still rare on Mastodon. I’m excited for more of that silliness to come to the Fediverse. I don’t look forward to all the Nazis who eventually will get bored of their echo chamber and try to meander over. I hope the right tools, people, and hardware are in place when it happens.
I kind of imagine all the right people and tools are there. I’m less confident on the hardware.
