You mean advertisers aren’t climbing all over themselves to buy spots on it? Maybe the new streaming service will save the day.

He could try suing companies for not running ads. It seems to be working for Elon.

[-] Drunemeton@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

I’d heard that he was going to do that, but is he and it’s working!?

[-] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago

Depends on how you define "working".

He managed to kill a non-profit that advised not advertising on Xitter because it's a racist shithole. I don't think it's gonna bring back any advertisers, but with the help of a pet Texas judge he's SLAPP suing his detractors out of existence.

[-] Bassman1805@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

One could argue that the non profit has largely done its job at this point so it's only a symbolic victory.

He just filed the lawsuit in the last few days. Too early to tell if it’s working, but many legal experts are laughing at it.

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 49 points 11 months ago

doesnt he have a 450m bill due soon?

e. just checked, not til after an appeal in sept.

[-] InternetUser2012@lemmy.today 11 points 11 months ago

The one he owes the lady that sued his balls off? Or the Russians?

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 16 points 11 months ago

[-] InternetUser2012@lemmy.today 8 points 11 months ago

Oh, shit, forgot about that one too. He's so screwed and so deserving of it.

Iirc they only brought in like 300k in revenue. Somebody fact check me but it was definitely between 300k-400k in revenue. So that net loss is fucking insane.

[-] wintermute_oregon@lemm.ee 19 points 11 months ago

It in the article

Trump Media, which owns the Truth Social app often used by the former president, also reported revenue of just $836,900 for the quarter ending June 30, a 30% drop from the same period in 2023

Another example of his awesome business skills that he'll be able to transfer to running the government. \s

[-] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

Just hang in there guys and keep spending. Remember it takes all the money to make all the money 💰💰! Wink wink.

[-] zcd@lemmy.ca 13 points 11 months ago

That's a lot of losses for someone who only cosplays as a billionaire

[-] dogslayeggs@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

And not a single one of his unbelievably stupid fans will sell their stock in it until he cashes out in a couple months. The absolute first second he's allowed to sell his stake, that shit's going to crater hard with all his Stans losing their life savings.

The real treasure was all the grifts he did along the way.

[-] Whiskey_iicarus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 11 months ago

Personally, I love this for ALL of them.

[-] Jimbabwe@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

I’m not usually this petty, but… haha, get fucked

[-] reddig33@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

When is he allowed to sell his stake? I seem to recall there was a time limit after going public.

[-] TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social 7 points 11 months ago

As soon as he sells it's going to signal that he is done with the platform to all his "investors", and will likely trigger a selloff until it craters and his base loses their money (not good to do until at least after the election).

I mean, Trump is doing very well out of this. The people who listened to him and bought stock in the thing are another story.

Need Riker playing ~~sad violin~~ up in here

Edit: it's playing a sour note

Edit #2:

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Hmm best I've got is a video of a biker playing a violin: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rK4J-GM5Mw0

I am sad I wasn't able to find Riker playing a violin though, now I need Riker playing a sad saxophone up in here.
