2 execs, both with Alabama ties, quit Trump’s Truth Social after troubled launch, reports say

Two key executives with Donald Trump’s “Truth Social,” have quit, Reuters is reporting.

Josh Adams and Billy Boozer – the company’s chiefs of technology and product development – joined the former president’s venture last year. Their departure comes after the troubled launch of Truth Social’s iPhone app on Feb. 20 with many users still remaining on a waiting list and unable to access the platform.

Truth Social advertises itself as catering to conservative markets while championing free speech.

Adams, an Alabama native, co-founded Daring Bit Assembly, a product and software development company. Reuters reported Adams filed a lawsuit in May 2021 against Gov. Kay Ivey and health officials alleging the state’s mask mandate during the COVID-19 pandemic violated the U.S. and Alabama Constitution. The case was later dismissed.

Boozer, who previously lived in Alabama, had frequently collaborated with Adams in previous projects, Reuters reported. He brought a “strong command” of front-end technology for users, the stored noted.

Neither Adams nor Boozer commented responded to Reuter’s request for comment.

I’m guessing they were shown the door due to the bumpy roll-out.

Trump fired them. They’re incompetent lowlifes.

Yep, execs are supposed to get that stuff working. Accountability is a b*tch.

Trump should have just endorsed Gab and started posting on there. But he has to own everything.

I guarantee: the liberal old biddies at AL.com (commie newspaper in a conservative Southern state) are just crowing their approval of Truth Social failing.

I’m sick of websites complaining about Facebook and Twitter, but they don’t link to alternatives.

I don’t think it’s news. They are trying their best to make Truth Social and therefore Trump, look bad and less popular.

Truth has missed 2 dates they told the public so far, so don’t have to be a genius to know things aren’t going to plan.

Now the motivations behind these folks leaving Reuters could be lying about, but to believe everything is going great with Truth is just living in denial.
