Who owns Gettr? Jason Miller’s new social media app launched yesterday
A beta version of “non-bias social network” Gettr (stylised GETTR), launched yesterday, is now causing the public to wonder: Who owns Gettr, and what is the relationship between its founder, Jason Miller, and Donald Trump?
Following the decision made by Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to ban Donald Trump from their platforms, the former president launched From The Desk Of Donald Trump. But that succumbed to the pressure of the marketplace last month. Gettr is now attempting to fill that Trump-shaped void.
What is Gettr, and who owns it?
Gettr first appeared on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store in mid June.
The Twitter-style social media platform describes itself as a non-bias social network for people all over the world . So, who owns Gettr?
Politico reports that Trumps team is behind the start-up; Variety says it was launched by Trumps ex-spokesman ; Reuters and Bloomberg call the man behind new social media app Gettr a former Trump aide and former senior advisor .
