TAE Technologies received an investment from the Russian company Rusnano in
its early stages in 2012. At the time, TAE Technologies was called Tri Alpha
Energy.

With this investment, which was substantial for the company at the time, the
Russian government gained a seat on the Board of Directors. Anatoli Chubais
became the person who represented the Russians on the Board.

Much larger investments were later made by Western investors, but those who
invest at such an early stage receive a substantial block of shares.

It is therefore quite possible that the relatively small investment by the
Russians still means they hold a significant stake in TAE Technologies,
despite the fact that later investors contributed much larger sums.

With the merger with Trump Media, Trump Media shareholders suddenly receive a
50% stake in the merged company. Trump Media is largely owned by the Trump
family and a few "friends."

So now there are rumors that some wealthy Americans and Russians are trying to
appease Trump with the merger between Trump Media and TAE Technologies.

You're buying yourself politically, so to speak.

A bribe on a massive scale.

Now, TAE Technologies has proven to be a bottomless pit that demands ever more
money, while commercial success has not yet been achieved. So there's a chance
that the Trump family fortune will be used up here in the pursuit of potential
future success.
