OMG, do you realize Jimmy Kimmel made a mockery of it ( Retraction ) and joked about it. He made no Retraction. He just laughed at it. It's a comedy show.

On Thursday, Jimmy Kimmel had a lot of fun mocking Donald Trump’s Twitter clone, Truth Social, for widespread reporting that it lost a ton of money in 2023. But on Thursday’s episode of ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” Kimmel issued a retraction.

Faced with the news that instead of losing $73 million, Truth Social lost $31 million, Kimmel admitted, “Truth Social isn’t a colossal failure, it’s only an abysmal failure.”

Kimmel then read the letter demanding a retraction in full — you can see the whole thing in the video at the top of the page. Then, Kimmel responded.


“And here’s the thing. You know, this is a nightly comedy show, we do make every effort to present accurate information. We’re pretty rigorous when it comes to fact-checking, and in this case, on the day we aired this, it had been widely reported by multiple, credible outlets that Truth Social had lost $73 million dollars. But according to their filing with the SEC, Truth Social lost $31.6 million dollars since it’s launch in June 30th 2023, the company lost $31.6 million dollars,” Kimmel said.

“In other words, in fairness, Truth Social isn’t a colossal failure, it’s only an abysmal failure,” he quipped.

“I have to say, demanding a retraction, “Kimmel continued,” for reporting the value of his company incorrectly is pretty darn hilarious considering the fact he is on trial right now for reporting the value of his company incorrectly. Maybe he should sue himself.”
