Shares of Digital World Acquisition, a company associated with former US President Donald Trump, have shown impressive growth, increasing by 239% since his victory in the first primaries in Iowa last week. This growth is linked to the plans of the SpaceX company, which intends to merge with the Truth Social media platform created by Trump. Digital World Acquisition's share price rose from around $17 last week to $58.66 on Tuesday, mainly due to the increased likelihood that Trump could nominate his Republican Party for president in 2024. Digital World Acquisition itself was created in order to merge with the social media platform Truth Social, but there are no clear signs yet that this merger will happen in the near future. Last year, Digital World investors approved a one-year extension of SPAC in order to complete the deal with Truth Social. Currently, there are only 9 months left before the expiration of this period, and if the transaction does not complete within the specified period, the company will have to return the funds received from investors when entering the stock exchange.
