The outlet reported that someone named Ana, who was a representative on behalf of Truth Social’s VIP department, reached out to influencers like popular foodie Instagrammers Jeremy Jacobowitz and Gillie Houston, to see if they want to reserve their “preferred username for the late February/early March launch”.
Emails to influencers would not mention the former president or any connection between him and the social media network. The representative’s name is listed only as “Ana” and includes an apparently dead Palm Beach County area phone number.
Axios noted that the emails came from a [email protected] address. Truth Social is part of the Trump Media & Technology Group holding company.
Jacobowitz confirmed to The Hill that he was contacted by the email address noted by Axios.
In a video posted to Instagram last week, Jacobowitz discussed the email he received from Truth Social.
“So I get this email from something called Truth Social saying they want to reserve my username when they launch and I’m like, ‘Truth Social, what is this? is that?'” Jacobowitz said. in the video. “So I googled it, and it said oh my god, this is Donald Trump’s social media site.”
“But here’s the kicker: at the bottom of the emails is [a] privacy notice, basically stating that it is inside information. Blah blah blah. But I didn’t agree with that. So guess what? I made a TikTok video of it,” he continued. “Donnie, if you want to sue me, go ahead and sue me.”
Houston, who has been critical of the former president, told Axios she does not plan to follow up on the email.
The Hill has reached out to the email address noted by Axios, Trump Media & Technology Group and Houston for comment.
