This could be the beginning of a major conservative splash in tech. Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) will reportedly resign from his position as a congressman to join former President Donald Trump’s burgeoning Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG.)
Trump has stepped down as President, but Trump’s business could be an important player in the world of social media. His company just got one more major player. “Trump Media & Technology Group (‘TMTG’) today announced that Congressman Devin G. Nunes has been selected to join the Company as Chief Executive Officer,” TMTG declared in a Dec. 6 press release. “Mr. Nunes will be leaving the U.S. House of Representatives and will begin his new role as Chief Executive Officer of TMTG in January 2022.” Trump commented in the press release that Nunes will be instrumental to making his grand designs a reality:
“Congressman Devin Nunes is a fighter and a leader. He’ll make a good CEO for TMTG. Devin is aware that Big Tech and liberal media must not destroy the freedoms that have made America great. America wants TRUTH Social, the end of censorship and discrimination and an America that is open to all forms of social media.
Nunes stated that he believes the Internet has the potential to be reorganized. Nunes stated that Nunes believes the Internet is ready for a shakeup.[t]he time has come to reopen the Internet and allow for the free flow of ideas and expression without censorship.” He added, “The United States of America made the dream of the Internet a reality and it will be an American company that restores the dream. It is an honor and a humble honour to be asked by President Trump to oversee the team and mission that delivers on his promise.
TMTG specified that the flagship project of the “social media and technology” firm is “TruthSocial, TMTG’s upcoming social media platform.” TruthSocial will reportedly “provide an outlet that encourages open global conversation without discrimination against political ideology,” and TMTG+ will be a subscription-based video streaming platform for “non-woke entertainment, news, documentaries, podcasts and more.”
TRUTH social will be launched this Spring under TMTG. It will be competing with Twitter and Facebook, similar to Parler or GETTR. “I created TRUTH Social and TMTG to stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech,” he said in a statement.
CNBC pointed out that Nunes is a veteran of supporting Trump when he’s in crisis.
“In his final month in office, and just two days before the deadly Jan. 6 invasion of the Capitol, Trump awarded Nunes the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Nunes was one of the 147 House Republicans who voted to challenge President Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory after the pro-Trump mob had been cleared out of the building.”
