Former President Donald Trump dangled a sale of his money-losing social media network to Elon Musk last summer, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.

Truth Social was mired in a drawn-out — and still not completed — process to merge with Digital World Acquisition Corp., which is supposed to take it public, when the presumptive Republican nominee for president talked up the idea of selling it with Musk, the report said.

It’s not clear if during the conversation Trump put a price tag on Truth Social, which has about 1.5 million unique monthly visitors, according to web traffic tracker SimilarWeb.
