Foiled AGAIN: Top Exec For Trump’s Truth Social Platform Resigns

Donald Trump's platform isn't the hit the twice-indicted former President had hoped for as another top executive of the company resigned. Alex Gleason, the founder of Soapbox Technology, didn't last long as he was hired as the head of engineering for Truth Social in January 2022. Former Rep. Devin Nunes gave up his political career to join the platform as CEO.

However, everything Trump touches dies. Trump launched Truth Social after he was deplatformed on major social sites after he incited (allegedly!) the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol, but it's not going well for him.

Reuters reports:

Gleason is the founder of Soapbox Technology, which provides open-source technology for "decentralized" social media platforms that operate on independently-run servers and provide an alternative to Twitter and Facebook.

Gleason said in an interview that he is leaving TMTG to work on Soapbox full-time, developing technology for connecting multiple decentralized platforms.

TMTG hired Gleason in January 2022 to adapt Soapbox's technology for its own needs, eventually using it as the front-end technology - which users see and interact with - for the Truth Social app.

Truth Social has struggled to show strong growth in the number of users since its February 2022 launch.
