New: Truth Social's top investment partner could be days away from falling apart. After an "unprecedented" series of glitches, the company is pleading for shareholders to save it from liquidation: "Time is Running Out. Don’t Delay. DO NOT THROW THIS AWAY” https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/09/02/truth-social-trump-media-digital-world/

@drewharwell I would imagine they're losing a lot of people to Twitter, which is basically doing the same thing but better.

@PointlessSpike @drewharwell exactly what I have been thinking. With Twitter Fascist-in-Chief, and the mess he has created, is there a need for the other?

I'll enjoy watching Trump desperately try to spin this as being part of Biden's evil plan, just as I've enjoyed watching Trump claim that a "stark, raving lunatic" is managing to compete with him in all the polls. 🍿

Whatever gets under the influence of the Golden Spoon Bully, will be destroyed.

As the WP article states; that now also applies to Truth Social.

This is the critical graf. Trump may not want this deal to go through; among other things, it restricts his ability to post on other platforms, like Twitter.

@annmlipton @drewharwell And there’s much less “need” for Truth Social now that Twitter has gone fascist-friendly.
