Truth streaming

David Crowther

TRUTH Social might grab the headlines and buzz for a while (early reports suggest signing up was a bit buggy) but for the Trump Media & Technology Group, it's not where they see the biggest financial opportunity. An investor presentation from November reveals the company's (pretty optimistic) projections for the future.

Not content with just battling big tech, TMTG is also looking to make streaming "great again" with TMTG+  — a streaming service to compete with Netflix, Disney and the other 50-odd streaming services available in North America. The investor presentation has TMTG+ getting to 40 million paid subscribers by the end of 2026, which would be just over half what Netflix currently has in the US & Canada.

Ford reportedly in talks to buy hybrid vehicle batteries from Chinese auto giant BYD

Detroit’s Ford and China’s BYD are said to be in ongoing talks to partner on an agreement that would see Ford buy hybrid vehicle batteries from BYD, according to reporting from The Wall Street Journal.

The report comes just days after President Trump toured a Ford factory in Michigan and implied openness to Chinese automakers coming to the US.

“If they want to come in and build a plant... that’s great, I love that,” Trump said on January 13. “Let China come in, let Japan come in.”

Last week, China’s Geely Automobile Holdings said it expects to make an announcement about expanding into the US within the next three years. Chinese carmakers currently face huge tariffs and software restrictions, effectively barring their vehicles from the US.

Ford has doubled down on hybrid vehicles amid high EV costs and the end of federal EV tax credits. The automaker is currently building a battery plant in Michigan where it plans to use tech from Chinese battery maker CATL.
