CNBC had more on the story:

Digital World Acquisition Corp., the SPAC that is taking former President Donald Trump’s planned social media platform public, soared Friday following a massive rally in the previous session.

Trading in the stock was halted due to volatility multiple times Friday. The SPAC, which trades under the ticker DWAC on the Nasdaq, skyrocketed 216% at one point and last traded up nearly 140%. The stock surged more than 350% to close Thursday at $35.54 in explosive trading volume and volatility.

The Trump effect wasn’t limited to DWAC.

Phunware, the advertising software startup involved with Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign, jumped in unison with DWAC. The stock last traded up a whopping 624% to $11.09 per share Friday, bringing its week-to-date rally to nearly 980%.

SPAC stands for special purpose acquisition company, which raises money on the public markets with a goal of merging with a private company and taking it public within two years. Investors typically have no clue what the target company will be when the SPAC debuts and trades on the stock exchange.

Many users who have never been Trump supporters are even getting in on the action take a look:

I don't care if you love Trump or hate him- (I hate him) If you think the MAGA's aren't going to push $DWAC and $DWACW to over $1,000 in the next year then you need to have your head examined. It could be by the end of November.
