If anyone checked the filing presentation they literally put questions marks for their profitability. It was HILLARIOUS.

I strive to be super lazy. I was disappointed after having already clicked the link and wasted an untold number of seconds finding that slide only to scroll down and see it here.

Holy goddamn shit, that's not even the funniest part of that! They estimate $3.6 billion in revenue by 2026? What fucking super-adderall-DMT-coke-meth-unicorn-fart drug are they smoking?

If they install a dictator and ban all other social media and also ban not participating in social media, then yeah, that’s actually a pretty conservative estimate.

[-] GiuseppeAndTheYeti@midwest.social 4 points 6 months ago

They even mentioned that they estimated 15M monetized users and 10M recurring media subscriptions. So they're estimating $1.2B per year for the next 3 years of those 25M users. That's $48/mo between those 2 types of subscriptions. In the presentation they directly compared themselves to Twitter who charges $11/mo and Netflix, Apple, Disney+, and Amazon who all charge between $4.99 and $8.99 per month for basic service.

That's AT MOST $20/mo if all of those users paid for both. Which they dont even claim. So a competitive price for a Twitter blue alternative would net them ~$180M and ~$100M from media subscriptions. Where in the world are they getting the other $920M in their projections?

“Big Tent Approach - all are welcome”. 🤣

From page 25 of this presentation:

A graphic shows a Trump post on Truth social that reads.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut pretium pretium tempor. Ut eget imperdiet neque.

Which google translates to:

The customer is very important, the customer will be followed by the customer. In order to pay the price in time. It does not need financing.

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Lorem ipsum is a pretty common placeholder text in publishing, to give an idea of what a font/page layout would look like.

In other words, they thought it safer to use random placeholder gibberish for their presentation, than use Trump's actual shitposts.

[-] GiuseppeAndTheYeti@midwest.social 3 points 6 months ago

TIL. Thanks for the info. I had no idea that was even a thing til now

[-] Shirasho@lemmings.world 14 points 6 months ago

So they either did not do proper finance analysis or they are hiding numbers from shareholders, neither of which inspire confidence.
