Twitter sold for a (seemingly excessive) $44B. What justifies $3.5B for Truth Social?

Magic! Magic justifies it!

There are tens of thousands of retail investors paying ridiculous prices for the smallish available part of the shares. That doesn't mean that there will be takers for the large part held by orangehead.

SimilarWeb's traffic estimates (Feb 2024), for context:

twitter.com - Total Visits 5.8B

https://www.similarweb.com/website/twitter.com/#overview

truthsocial.com - Total Visits 5M

https://www.similarweb.com/website/truthsocial.com/#overview

It would most likely be a way to legitimize bribes.
