Why is Trump Media selling early access to Trump's Truth Social posts?
Trump Media has introduced a paid subscription on Truth Social that gives users early access to posts from top accounts milliseconds before they become public. The service, which does not explicitly name former President Donald Trump but centers on his highly followed account, is priced at $60,000 to $100,000 per month. Analysts note the high cost and novelty raise questions about its legality and market demand.
