" Mr. Trump (may) smell a Rat " >>
History
In June 2021, it was reported that Miller had left Trump's team to become CEO of a tech startup.[3][9] A beta version of Gettr launched on July 1, 2021, after being added to the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store in mid-June.[5] The platform can also be accessed via the web.[10] Gettr officially launched on July 4, 2021.[11]
According to the Apple App Store listing, Gettr is developed by a company called Chainnov Inc.[2] Miller is CEO,[11] and former Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh is a media affairs consultant for the company.[12] Miller has said the company was financed by a "consortium of international investors" including a foundation tied to Guo Wengui, a Chinese businessman and fugitive.[12][1] Guo has said he is an adviser to the platform. [1] Media sites tied to Guo have suggested that the platform was his idea, though Miller has downplayed the connection.
As of July 1, 2021, Gettr had several thousand users.[14] Bloomberg reported that Trump would not be joining the platform, nor would he have any financial stake in it, and that he was still planning to create a platform of his own.[15]
