Truth Social costing $320k per month to host is wild, and hilarious. I’m curious to see the breakdown of how that’s possible.

@Gargron they're probably buying server capacity directly from the trump organization...

Julien Deswaef

@Gargron they might be constantly DDOSed? Also, who wants to host them?

@Gargron Simple, two bill items:

1: Hosting, $100
2: Embezzlement: $319900

@Gargron do you know how many monthly visitors and visits mastosoc serves, roughly? Just for comparison?

Eugen Rochko

@halcy I don't have analytics. I can estimate 352k unique visitors per day based on short-lived logs.

@Gargron golden toilets deserve golden servers;)

@Gargron everyone involved is running their own scheme/scam. Shooting fish in their individual barrels.

@Gargron Considering that the guy behind it was able to go bankrupt running a casino, I'm not all that surprised.

@Gargron I've paid $25-30k / month for far smaller setups. If you offload everything including managed services, you can get up there pretty quick, especially with 4M users. They also have Rumble to pay, not sure if they're paying that bill.

Far as I can tell neither Save America nor TMTG have any ownership in RightForge nor Rumble.

Maybe he's funneling money from the $100M PAC that has no reason to exist other than to continue soaking money from retired bigots.

@Gargron It's just layers and layers of grift, all the way down to the stinky core.

@Gargron wonder if that factors in their legal defense as well.

@Gargron basic tax fraud 1x1: overbill another company (that’s friends with yours), write off “losses” that you don’t have to pay in taxes when they don’t pay

Tim Chambers

@Gargron That's crazy. Was that number reported publicly?

Athena Vixen

@Gargron inflation, tech parts, staff costs, it all adds up

@Gargron combination of their policies and the idiots who "run" it

Niclas Hedhman

@Gargron I should send a quote of $150k/month 😂
