The departures come after the troubled launch of the company’s iPhone app on 20 February, with many still stuck on a waiting list
Two senior executives at Donald Trump’s tech start-up Truth Social have resigned, adding to considerable problems faced by the former president’s attempted takeover of conservative social media.Josh Adams and Billy Boozer – Truth Social’s chiefs of technology and product development – joined the venture last year and quickly became central players in its effort to build a social media empire to counter what many conservatives deride as “cancel culture” censorship from the left.
The Trump Media & Technology Group chief executive, Devin Nunes, a former Republican congressman, said publicly the company aimed to make the app fully operational within the US by the end of March. Truth Social is part of a growing sector of tech firms catering to conservatives and marketing themselves as free-speech champions. The platform promised Trump unfettered communication with his public more than a year after he was kicked off Twitter, Facebook and YouTube for allegedly inciting or glorifying violence during the January 6 riot at the US Capitol.
Adams and Boozer worked just below Wes Moss and Andy Litinsky, former castmates on The Apprentice, Trump’s hit reality TV show, according to a source familiar with the venture. Another open question is how TMTG is funding current growth. The company is planning to go public through a merger with blank-check firm Digital World Acquisition Corp . The deal is under scrutiny by the Securities and Exchange Commission and is probably months away from being finalized.
