The bottom line on Truth Social
Truth Social's parent has been a popular stock since it went public, driven by its growth potential and the link to the current president. Given that Trump is president again, the platform could become even more popular.
However, given the controversy surrounding Trump, the platform might not be the best investment option for many people. It has a very high valuation compared to the current size of its user base and its revenue. It's also still losing money, so you must carefully consider the risks before investing in its stock.
