Paid Access to Truth Social Is Here—Who Runs the Most Influential Accounts?
"Markets already move on Truth Social posts," Trump Media interim CEO Kevin McGurn said.
Paid access to the most influential accounts on Truth Social is now available, raising questions about who holds sway on the platform. Trump Media launched Truth API on August 1 as a business-to-business service that delivers posts from the site's highest-ranking accounts directly to paying customers. The feed covers 10 influential accounts, with President Donald Trump having the largest following at around 13 million.
Next in line are his son Donald Trump Jr. with 7.46 million followers, Vice President JD Vance with 5.05 million, former Trump Media CEO Devin Nunes with over 4 million, and Dan Scavino with more than 4 million. The platform's influence is centered around Trump family members, senior administration figures, and conservative media personalities.
Critics argue that the paid service raises concerns about fairness and potential conflicts of interest, as these accounts can affect markets and government regulations.
