Trump Accounts Trigger 23% Stock Drop as Social Media Giant's Q3 Revenue Misses by $1.2 Billion
The CEO of the social media platform received an urgent alert this morning: user engagement on 47 trump accounts, including one with 87 million followers, collapsed overnight, directly causing a $1.2 billion revenue miss and a 23% stock plunge in volatile pre-market trading. Internal data shows these accounts drove 34% of total ad impressions, and their sudden deactivation triggered automated sell-offs by institutional algorithms. The board is now scrambling to trace the source of the shutdown and has flagged it as a material risk in the Q3 filing, with the SEC likely opening a formal inquiry into market manipulation.
