Newsweek ^ | 29 Oct 2024 | Natalie Venegas

Former President Donald Trump's social media company, Truth Social, has surged past Elon Musk's X (formerly Twitter) in market value.

Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), Truth Social's parent company, now holds a valuation of just over $10 billion, after its shares more than quadrupled since late September. This valuation leap moves it above X Holdings, which Fidelity most recently valued at $9.4 billion....

On Tuesday, TMTG shares rose 9 percent to close at $51.51, following a 21.6 percent gain the day before. Trading was so intense that it triggered multiple halts, a stark contrast to the stock's low of approximately $12 just last month....

Musk didn't do it for the money. Musk did it for you and me.

To be fair...Lets look at the total bankroll for each of them.

Utter nonsense of course,
X is a private company with vastly more active daily users than Truth and still increasing fast.
To suggest Truth is worth more than X is stupid, Truth is not even close to X in users or value.

Nobody is “suggesting” it. It is what how the market is valuing it.

Apparently it’s the only way I’ll get my twitter account unsuspended. I miss insulting celebrities.

well, sure but it warms the cockles of my heart that all those traders (traitors?) who worked so hard to short the stock are now eating their shorts, pun intended

What “market” you babbling about?
There is no market on X, X is a private company.
Its what some far left political Democrat controlled outfit is saying in an attempt to attack Musk, Its irrelevant.

Member of both Truth and X,
Both great but X has vastly more users and a far greater reach. Plus you get to actually talk to the greatest entrepreneur on the planet, Elon Musk,

Harris’ tax on unrealized capital gains (25%) would really hurt
