Trump Media Ventures into AI with "Truth Social AI" Trademark Applications

Truth Social Needs Its Own Grok. Trump Has the Trademarks

Since Donald Trump took office, his family's corporate empire has continued to expand in a multitude of different directions. Over the past six months, Trump's family has launched a variety of different businesses and products, including several cryptocurrency ventures. Now, Trump's social media company has signaled that it's getting into AI. A press release published Wednesday says that the Trump Media and Technology Group Corp., which owns Trump's social media platform, Truth Social, has applied to register trademarks for “Truth Social AI†and “Truth Social AI Search.†There's not a whole lot of information about what that means, although it'd be easy to guess: like Trump's former buddy and benefactor, Elon Musk (who owns X and its AI assistant, Grok), the president seems to want to launch a chatbot to go along with his social media platform. The press release states that the company plans to "develop an artificial intelligence function to appear directly on the Truth Social platform," which will presumably resemble other generative AI apps on other sites. In a statement, Trump Media's CEO and Chairman, Devin Nunes, said: “Integrating AI into Truth Social will be a big push forward in our initiative to expand and enhance the platform, further developing the Truth Social ecosphere as a one-stop-shop for reliable information, non-woke news, and entertainment.†It's unclear whether the platform plans to work with an established AI company to produce its "Truth Social AI" or what that AI function will ultimately look like. Developing a proprietary model could cost billions, and it's unlikely Truth Social could afford the costs. But Trump's social networking platform is a fork of the open-source project Mastodon. It's possible that developers could try a similar tactic and integrate one of the open-source AI models that are available on the market. Gizmodo reached out to TMTG for more information. Trump has been relatively good to the AI industry since taking office, having bolstered plans for broader AI development in the U.S., including encouraging AI companies to invest domestically. His One Big Beautiful Bill also attempted to freeze AI regulation throughout the nation (the amendment ultimately got voted down). As AI is a blossoming market, it only makes sense that Trump would want to get in on the action. Truth Social, which was launched in 2021 and went public last March, has gone through a number of ups and downs over the years, and its stock price often seems to be in a state of flux. The company recently announced that it plans to pay up to $400 million in a stock buyback effort, a move that doesn't necessarily signal a healthy corporate outlook. The move was designed to bolster the platform's "financial flexibility," according to the Associated Press. That said, who really expected Truth Social to last as long as it has? The company clearly has plans for the future, and that means jumping on the AI bandwagon with all its competitors. Prepare yourselves for a MAGA Grok that is even more MAGA than Grok.

Trump Media files AI trademarks to expand Truth Social, present 'non-woke' news

Trump Media's shares finished up 5.5% on Wednesday, outperforming the Nasdaq, on which the company is listed. Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), majority-owned by US President Donald Trump's family, has filed for two artificial intelligence (AI) trademarks tied to a planned feature on the Truth Social platform. "Truth Social AI" and "Truth Social AI Search," the names under which the trademark applications were submitted, will allow Truth Social to become a source of "reliable information, non-woke news, and entertainment," according Trump Media Chairman and CEO Devin Nunes. TMTG's shares closed the day 5.5% higher on Wednesday, a rally that outstripped the Nasdaq, index on which the company is listed. Trump Media posted a net loss of $31.7 million for Q1 2025, with revenue of $8.8 million. Other social media platforms have used AI for real-time translation, help center chatbots and personalized content. Cointelegraph reached out to TMTG for comment on the trademarks but had not received a response at time of publication. TMTG has filed trademarks before for emerging technology use cases, including for a cryptocurrency trading and payment service and ETFs tied to the platform. In February, DTTM Operations, another Trump-owned company, filed trademarks for a Trump-branded metaverse.

Still, the user base is relatively small compared to other social media platforms like Facebook, with reportedly 3.1 billion monthly active users in 2023. On many platforms, there have been reports of "shenanigans" involving emerging technology and algorithms. On X, Elon Musk promised to retool Grok after users complained it was becoming too "woke" -- a term to suggest that a person or organization is overly focused on progressive social issues. The result was an AI program that pronounced itself "MechaHitler."

Nunes said this marks a "big push forward" in building an ecosystem of "non-woke" news and entertainment sources around Truth Social. Truth Social AI isn't the company's only recent innovation. Trump Media is also making a move into the cryptocurrency investment space. Trending Investment Opportunities Advertisement According to a new SEC filing, the firm is preparing to launch an exchange-traded fund dubbed the "Crypto Blue Chip ETF." The fund will invest in a portfolio of high-profile cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Cronos. Nearly three-quarters of the fund's assets would be concentrated in Bitcoin. Earlier this week, the company also formally introduced its streaming service Truth+ to a global audience. The service, which began its beta testing in late June, will continue to receive updates as Trump Media fine-tunes the platform and collects user feedback. These developments indicate the company's wider strategy to diversify its presence across social media, streaming, AI, and digital assets, aiming to serve a politically aligned user base with an all-in-one content and financial hub.

Trump Media And Technology Group (DJT) Registers Trademarks For "Truth Social AI" And "Truth Social AI Search"

This is not investment advice. The author has no position in any of the stocks mentioned. Wccftech.com has a disclosure and ethics policy. Trump Media and Technology Group (NASDAQ: DJT), the parent entity of the Truth Social platform, the Truth+ content streaming service, and a number of Truth Social-branded ETFs and SMAs under its Truth.Fi brand, seems determined to leave no stone unturned in its quest to find a sustainable revenue stream. After going all-in on the hype around cryptocurrencies, Trump Media and Technology Group is now targeting the AI buzzword, judging by its latest actions. To wit, Trump Media has now filed a Form 8-K with the SEC, announcing its application for the registration of "Truth Social AI" and "Truth Social AI Search" trademarks. As per the company's press release, it is now actively seeking to integrate AI functionality within its bespoke social media platform, as it continues to develop "the Truth Social ecosphere as a one-stop-shop for reliable information, non-woke news, and entertainment." While Trump Media and Technology Group says that it is planning to integrate AI functionalities within the web version of its Truth Social platform and the corresponding iOS and Android apps, it has yet to give a definitive timeline for this planned integration. Meanwhile, Trump Media and Technology Group is also trying to leverage retail interest in the crypto sphere to generate some much-needed ancillary revenues. For instance, it recently applied to register with the SEC its Truth Social Crypto Blue Chip ETF, which will hold five cryptocurrencies in the following mix: Bitcoin (70 percent), Ether (15 percent), Solana (8 percent), Cronos (5 percent), and Ripple (2 percent). This follows similar applications for the Truth Social Bitcoin ETF and the Truth Social Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF, which will hold the two cryptocurrencies in a 75:25 ratio, respectively. Bear in mind that Trump Media and Technology Group's board recently approved a funding of $250 million for setting up customized SMAs and ETFs under its newly launched Truth.Fi brand. Trump Media has also raised $2.3 billion from eligible investors to establish a Bitcoin treasury. Despite its multi-vector efforts, the company has yet to show a sizable growth in its revenues. For instance, Trump Media generated just $821,000 in revenue during Q1 2025, incurring a loss of $30 million in the process.
