ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE?

In late April, a short-selling firm called Culper Research released a report on the company, saying it was "short Rumble" - meaning that it was betting that Rumble's stock price would fall. Rumble didn't respond to questions about Crowder's allegedly abusive behavior - or about a range of other issues - but tire company seems pleased with the traffic brought in by his sweaty mixture of the personal and the political, bragging on Twitter about the size of his audience. After the artist formerly known as Kanye West failed to execute a promised purchase of Parler, the company was sold to another tech firm, which then shut down the social network and began pillaging the company for parts (or user data). Next to Elon Musk's Twitter, Rumble has become perhaps the most successful social media company catering to the political right, and in the past few years, it's become deeply enmeshed in Trumpworld, from video talent to investment to its management and board.
