By Matt Egan | CNNFormer President Donald Trump’s social media venture Truth Social is burning cash and piling up losses so rapidly that accountants warn it might not survive unless it soon completes a long-delayed merger, according to corporate filings.Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), which is chaired by the former president, has lost $31.6 million since the company launched in early 2021, SEC filings released Monday show.Truth Social launched in early 2022 as an alternative to Twitter, which is now known as X and is owned by billionaire Elon Musk. At the time, Trump had been banned from what was then Twitter for breaking the platform’s rules on promoting violence during the January 6 riot. His account has since been reinstated.But Trump’s social media platform has struggled to gain popularity, with its 861,000 monthly active users on iOS and Android as of October amounting to barely 1% of those on X, according to Similarweb.With cash levels dwindling, Trump Media’s manag...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:23:04 GMT

In another effort to stop $380 million in public funding for a new baseball stadium in Las Vegas, a Nevada teachers union announced new plans for legal action on Tuesday.It is not expected to stop MLB owners from voting to approve the Oakland A’s relocation on Thursday, when the owners will meet in Arlington, Texas, and expect to approve the relocation in a unanimous vote, according to The Athletic.But the new lawsuit could call into question the viability of Fisher’s plan to move the club into a ballpark on the Las Vegas Strip. Without public funding, or with a delay in public funding, Fisher may be forced to find an alternative location.The teachers’ lawsuit will challenge the language of the bill signed into law by Gov. Joe Lombardo in June, when the state legislature approved the public spending package.Dawn Etcheverry, an elementary music teacher and the president of the union’s “Schools Over Stadiums” political arm, said in a statement that the bill “violates at least five sec...
