GETTR (Trumpworld App) Bankrolled by Chinese

Trumpworld App Is Bankrolled by Fugitive Chinese Billionaire
What’s not made clear to Gettr’s new users, though, is that the site received initial funding from a foundation owned by Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui and his family. In an interview with The Daily Beast on Thursday, Miller said Guo’s “family foundation” provided Gettr with early funding.

“Some of the initial seed money has come from his family foundation,” Miller said of Guo, who also goes by the name Miles Kwok.

An earlier iteration of Gettr called “Getome,” which Guo once praised as a key part of his global strategy, also suggests that the billionaire has significant ties to Gettr.

Guo’s legions of social media supporters and trolls were among the first and most vocal adopters of Gettr starting on June 14, the day the app’s site went live.
