Shareholders of Digital World Acquisition Corporation have approved the merger with Truth Social, Donald Trump's social media app. This merger could potentially increase Trump's net worth by $3 billion. The merger will result in shareholders of DWAC becoming shareholders of Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), the parent company of Truth Social. Trump's media company is expected to start trading on Nasdaq under the symbol DJT as early as next week. However, Trump is currently prohibited from selling his shares or using them as collateral due to a lock-up provision, although he can request a waiver from the board.

Donald Trump's Truth Social opens new avenue for conflicts of interest

Former President Donald Trump's social media company, Trump Media & Technology Group, went public this week and saw a surge in value driven by supporters and investors. The company, which owns the platform Truth Social, could potentially present ethical concerns if Trump retains control of the company while in office, allowing foreign leaders or special interests to influence him. Experts suggest that foreign governments or corporations could buy advertising on Truth Social or purchase shares in the company to sway Trump's favor. Trump's financial interest in his businesses while president violated ethical norms, and critics filed lawsuits claiming violations of the Constitution's anti-corruption clauses, but these were dismissed or declared moot. Presidential control of a media company also raises concerns about unfair competition and potential limitations on press independence.
