X and Truth Social merger announced before August?

This market will resolve to "Yes" if if is officially announced that that X (formerly Twitter) and Truth Social, or if X or its parent company Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) have agreed to merge, by July 31, 2025. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No." The announcement must indicate that the two organizations have agreed to combine their operations. This could be a legal merger where they form one entity, a joint venture, or an acquisition of one by the other. An official announcement before the end date of an X/Truth Social merger will suffice to resolve this market to "Yes" regardless of if or when the merger actually occurs, however statements merely suggesting that a merger/acquisition may occur or which express intent will not qualify. The resolution source will be official statements from X and/or Truth Social/Trump Media & Technology Group, however a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.

Event Analysis

Summary

The prediction market focuses on whether X (formerly Twitter) and Truth Social will announce a merger before August 2025. This question comes amid significant developments in the digital media landscape, particularly Truth Social's recent completion of its merger with Digital World Acquisition Corp (DWAC) in March 2024, making it a publicly traded company. Recent financial disclosures show Truth Social generated approximately $4.1 million in revenue in 2023, up from $1.47 million in 2022, though the platform continues to face operational losses. Meanwhile, X has been pursuing its own transformation under Elon Musk's leadership, making the prospect of a merger between these two platforms an intriguing but complex possibility.

The market's current pricing (17.5% Yes / 82.5% No) appears slightly optimistic on the "Yes" outcome.
