Josh Adams and Billy Boozer, the company’s heads of technology and product development, quit their posts, although the circumstance of their resignations — and whether they have been reassigned to other roles — is unknown, Reuters reported, citing unnamed sources familiar with the company.

The report came as shares of DWAC — which is being investigated by the Securities and Exchange Commission for reportedly holding talks with Trump before it went public last year — have plummeted in recent weeks.

Adams and Boozer joined Trump’s social media efforts last year and played a central role in the app’s development, according to Reuters.

Their resignations come as the platform struggled to meet a self-imposed March 31 deadline to be “fully operational,” with more than a million prospective users stuck on a wait list.

I'll never have anything else. There's a reason Android's numbers are down to ~40%.

Trump’s Truth Social in trouble as financial, technical woes mount
The former president has fumed about the app’s glacial rollout and has been reluctant to post there until it’s a proven success. Three top executives have resigned.

Here’s a truth former president Donald Trump doesn’t want to hear: His social network, Truth Social, is falling apart.

The app — a Twitter look-alike where posts are called “truths” — has seen its downloads plunge so low that it has fallen off the App Store charts. The company is losing investors, executives and attention. And though his adult sons just joined, Trump himself hasn’t posted there in weeks.

Devin Nunes, the former member of Congress from California who gave up the seat that he held for 19 years to run the company, had said the app would be “fully operational” by the end of March. But it has been hamstrung by technical issues, including a waiting list that has blocked hundreds of thousands of potential users during its crucial first weeks online.

Trump has privately fumed about the app’s slow rollout and has mused about joining other platforms such as Gettr, one of its biggest competitors, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the subject.

Spurred by the former president’s frustration, Nunes has worked to install his own people atop the troubled company, leading to the resignations of its chiefs of technology, product development and legal affairs, according to the people familiar with the turmoil. The departures were first reported by Reuters and Politico.

They said Nunes has regularly traveled to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Fla., to brief the former president and discuss the platform’s issues. Trump is holding out hope that the platform will eventually be lucrative, but he has been reluctant to post on it because “it is not ready for prime time,” a close adviser said.

He has, however, continued to pay attention to Twitter, which he has repeatedly criticized as irrelevant since the site banned him last year. He still reviews tweets from politicians and members of the media from time to time, two of the people said.
