DWAC stock is way down today on news of Elon Musk buying into Twitter.

Great buy opportunity, but there is room for it to go down to 49 or lower before it goes up.

Before you buy DWAC, look into DWACW, which acts like an option to buy DWAC for $11.50. It is very discounted. There is a downside, because when you convert from DWACW to DWAC (which you must do), you are taxed on the profit as short-term capital gains.

The thing is that I have seen very few copies of things ever posted from Truth Social out there in the real world. And it is not accessible even in a read only mode for those who are not members. Therefore Truth Social has no effect on the world.

Maybe not yet. But I think there's more to this than just a Twitterish alternative. For example:

Let's say that the app reaches 5 Million "real people" users - discounting the NASCAR account or Babylon Bee. If those are equally split among Congressional districts, that's more than 11K for each district (and yeah, I know they may not be equally split).

If the app increases capability to link users in the same district... now Trump has a networked army in each and every one... and he owns every bit of the data associated.

A powerful boots-on-the-ground grassroots network in the digital age? This is how to build one. I bet the RNC (or DNC) would kill for something equivalent.

What's now derided as a failure could turn out to be a shockingly powerful political tool.

We'll see.

Sounds like a lot of bugs need to be worked out. Give it time.

Not a lot of patience going around these days.
I miss having it.

Hi AuntB.

Good to see you out this find afternoon/evening...

I hear ya. I came to the place where complaining seemed
fruitless. Now I just put on this all-knowing smirk and
move on.

No big deal. Truth Social can take as long as it wants. It will be a major player. Facebook was open in 2004 and got popular in 2008: four years of preparation.

Why not roll out on the PC and Android first? Apple first tells me that I am not wanted.

I’m starting to get the feeling that this was planned to happen this way.

After over a month of waiting, I’m still on the waitlist as #439,681

I’m not at all surprised. Trump must have hired the same type of people for Truth Social that he appointed as advisors - yes-men when he interviews them, and no-men behind Trump’s back when they get hired.

This is Trump’s legacy - great pronouncements, but appointing staff that were actually working against his agenda.

So sad. Trump shot himself in the foot every time he ignorantly appointed advisors that were in fact opposed to him. These appointments were never going to advance his agenda, and actually ended up working against him.

Looks like he’s doing the same thing with picks for Truth Social. How can such a successful man be so totally inept with picking his staff?

I’m going for DeSantis, a man grounded in reality.

What does that say about his judgment, that he supposedly keeps making the same mistakes?

A better ‘search’ feature would be nice too.

For example, if you wanted to search for high-school friends in facebook you would get a list of ANYONE in the country with that name... useless for finding any specific person.

Or a search by name and/or maiden name and location and etc... I have been unable to locate my first high school sweetheart.

There is a site called ‘classmates’ (a .com) that lets you do some great stuff but their main focus seems to be to sell you more stuff- not provide you with a service you find useful (without a ton of effort). Its a pain in the a$$ website to use.

I fiddled around with classmates site for a little bit a few years ago.

It didn't take me long to realize I didn't want to connect with anyone from high school enough to deal with the site.

If I were a betting man (and I am not), Truth Social is dead.

Whatever they are doing, its probably a good thing.

Parler was hit by spambots immediately, because they did not do a good job of this.
