Pranksters have already defaced Trump's new social network

The site has since been pulled offline — evidence that Trump is likely to face a daunting challenge in building an Internet business that can stand on its own.
Banned by all major social networks after his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, Trump has for months agitated to regain the online megaphone that once blasted his voice around the world. In a presentation released Wednesday by his new media company, Trump Media & Technology Group, his team hailed the new social network as the first tentpole for a Trump-led media, news and Internet empire that would one day compete with Disney, CNN and Facebook.
But the site’s early hours revealed lax security, rehashed features and a flurry of bizarre design decisions. An open sign-up page allowed anyone to use the site shortly after it was revealed, sparking the creation of the “donaldjtrump” account and the pig posting. A Washington Post reporter was able to register and post under the account name “mikepence” without any stops in place. New sign-ups were blocked shortly after.

TFG is evidently merging a shell operation into a Special Purpose Acquisition Company
This deal smells. At best TFG has a start up and how one can merge a start up into a SPAC does not sound right.
Special Purpose Acquisition Corporations were the rage last year. According to my son, they are loss leaders for the SEC public offering work but the biglaw firms are working on these deals on discount to get the acquisition work. SPACs are blank check companies with no assets and so are easy to get through the SEC review process because there are no financials or description of business. There were some recent changes to the accounting rules that evidently caused the number of SPAC offerings to drop in the second half of 2021.

The EDGAR (SEC) filings do not cover this transaction.. The merger agreement and the form 8-k for this transaction has not been filed with the SEC and is not on EDGAR. Normally one cannot announce a deal like this without a Form 8-k filing being released at the same time
At some point, the merger agreement will have to be filed with the SEC and I will keep an eye out for this filing

This is going to piss off TFG. Biden is respected by other world leaders and TFG was considered a joke

Six months into Joe Biden's presidency, approval ratings of U.S. leadership around the world had largely rebounded from the record-low ratings observed during the Trump administration. A new Gallup report shows that as of early August 2021, across 46 countries and territories, median approval of U.S. leadership stood at 49%. This rating is up from the 30% median approval at the end of Donald Trump's presidency.
The 49 percent approval rating for U.S. leadership ties the high point reached in the first year of Barack Obama's presidency 12 years ago.....
Circling back to our earlier coverage, one of the striking elements of this is the degree to which the international surveys shatter Trump's assumptions. At a campaign event last summer, the then-president turned his attention to one of his very favorite falsehoods: "You know, we're respected again. You may not feel it, although I think you do. You may not see it. You don't read about it from the fake news, but this country is respected again."
As regular readers know, it has long been foundational to the Republican's worldview: The United States was an international laughingstock for decades, Trump believes, but thanks to how awesome his awesomeness is, he singlehandedly restored the nation's global stature. It was a ridiculous idea he brought up constantly, seeing it as one of his most important accomplishments.
Even in his strange farewell address, Trump found it necessary, one last time, to boast to Americans, "The world respects us again." In an apparent message for Biden, the outgoing president added, "Please don't lose that respect."
It was a bizarre challenge from a failed leader who'd done extraordinary harm to the United States' international reputation. As the findings from Gallup and the Pew Research Center show, everything Trump said about his successes in improving the United States' standing was wrong, and it's Biden who's actually accomplishing what his predecessor felt compelled to lie about.
