"Trump Media Stock Plunge: Executives' Payouts Revealed Amid Post-Merger Low"

Donald Trump's media company, Trump Media & Technology Group, has seen its stock plummet 38% from its high, resulting in a $3.5 billion loss for investors. Trump himself, as the largest shareholder, has incurred the majority of the losses, with a $2 billion decrease from the highs. The company's financial struggles, including a reported loss of $21.9 million in 2023 and doubts about its ability to continue as a going concern, have contributed to the stock's decline. Short sellers are also betting on the stock's fall, but the high cost of shorting due to insider ownership is making it difficult.
