The AtlanticTests the Definition of Insider Trading, market-moving
Truth Social introduced a subscription service called Truth API that supplies raw feeds of posts from high-follower accounts. The service is priced up to $100,000 per month and is controlled by Trump Media and Technology Group, which is majority-owned by President Trump. Initial announcements did not reference the president's account specifically.
The service packages political influence as a luxury product for wealthy subscribers, allowing early access to market-moving posts via a Trump-owned platform.
