Trump Media & Technology (DJT) surged 5.03% in pre-market trading on Monday, following the announcement of a merger with TAE Technologies, a startup developing nuclear fusion technology.
The deal, described as a "microcosm of how finance has detached from reality" by analysts, has drawn mixed reactions. Trump Media, which reported revenue of just $3 million in the first nine months of 2025, has a market value of $4 billion, inflated by its association with former President Donald Trump. TAE Technologies aims to deliver fusion technology by 2031, though skepticism remains about the feasibility of the project.
Investors appear to be betting on the potential of the merger, despite minimal details and unanswered questions from executives during the investor call.
