It appears that a beta test of former President Trump’s new social media platform, Truth Social, is underway and here is his first post, via Donald Trump Jr.
“Get Ready! Your favorite President will see you soon!”:

Liz Willis of Right Side Broadcasting Network is part of the beta test as well and reports, “y’all are going to LOVE it!”:
Beta testing the new ‘Truth Social’ app and all I can say is, y’all are going to LOVE it! 🤩
I can’t wait for everyone to join me!
Thank you, President Trump.

Rep. Ronny Jackson shared his first post, too:

YouTub competitor Rumble will reportedly provide video and cloud services to the new platform:

But this does raise questions about current Twitter competitors like Paler and Gettr. What happens to them?
Trump's "Truth Social" launching a beta version is terrible news for Gettr as users are talking about leaving the platform led by ex-Trump aide Jason Miller. "I am soooooooooo looking forward to the release of Truth Social, and migrating over to that platform!" one user wrote.

As for Gettr, the main financier of the site just declared bankruptcy:
Breaking: Fugitive Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui, who joined forces with Steve Bannon and financed the social media site Gettr, has filed for bankruptcy.
