The company behind former President Donald Trump’s social media network Truth Social saw the value of its shares fall as much as 4% Tuesday to a new low of $21.33. In less than five months, Trump Media’s shares have plunged roughly 63%, giving the company a market capitalization of $4.29 billion.

his followers are holding this stock price up higher than it should be (to demonstrate their devotion). Not to mention billionaires who want to curry favor to him if he wins; its a tax write off for these folks if they loose some spare change (heads I win, tails you loose).

It could be part of a typical pump and dump scam (even if he didn't dump the stock at its highest point). If Trump decides to dump his shares, any of his supporters that bought it will lose their asses. Not that I care if they do, but it sounds pretty much like a standard pump and dump to me (just didn't work out as well in the "pumpers" favor.

Is likely to be a scam. It’s the worst kind of retail investor frenzy that can be manipulated by scammers like Trump. They’ were recently reined in but more than 200 companies launched, including Trump Media, before the rules finalized.

Truth Social, based on market fundamentals, should be worth almost nothing and should never had been allowed to launch. There are many sources about it. Not sure why I’m arguing this on DU.

It's way over-valued at anything over 10 cents a share.

Truth Social could theoretically shut down tomorrow and distribute $2 per share after selling all of their assets and settling all their liabilities. That said, I'll agree with you that it is grossly overvalued. Ask any YouTuber how easy it is to get demonitized, and there's no way Trump nor Devin Nunes will moderate content nearly as effectively as YouTube does to keep advertisers happy.

Unless you're selling dorky red hats or big ugly red ties or dumb tshirts with "I hate liberals" slogans or really stupid cards with Dump's AI pictures of him kissing a dictator.

There is a movement afoot. I am not personally aware of what is happening.

I've been closely watching this stock for weeks, and it's been steadily dropping till today when it popped.
