AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent of Truth Social, announced that former congressman Devin Nunes is stepping down as chief executive and will be replaced on an interim basis by digital‑media executive Kevin McGurn, offering no explanation or timeline for a permanent successor. The move comes as the company battles severe financial distress—its DJT shares have tumbled 67% since the 2024 IPO, wiping out more than $6 billion in investor value, with reported revenue of just $3.7 million against a net loss of over $712 million and accumulated losses exceeding $1.1 billion. Founded as a free‑speech alternative after Trump’s ban from mainstream platforms, Truth Social has struggled to attract a broad audience and has repeatedly pivoted into ventures such as cryptocurrency, prediction markets, a proposed merger with fusion‑energy firm TAE Technologies, and a potential spin‑off. Ethical concerns persist over the overlap between Trump’s public office and his business interests, while a lawsuit filed by entrepreneur Justin Sun accuses the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial crypto project of improperly freezing tokens.
