   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.
