An estimated 590,000 buyers paid a £74 ($100) deposit to secure one, collectively handing the venture roughly £43.7 million ($59 million). As of May 2026, not a single confirmed customer has received the device. Now, a fresh wave of anger is spreading across MAGA forums after buyers received communication making clear that their money is, for all practical purposes, gone.
They originally said it was going to be 100% American made for that price, and only toned it down later on. Now they just say “Designed with American values in mind”, whatever that means.
Nothing. Non-commital verbiage aka hot air.
America - founded by grifters, always ready to milk the rubes for every cent.
This means the phone will rape and traffic children and you won’t care.
It means “we’ll make sure to use exploitive underpaid overseas labor in its production and make this product at the lowest price possible” because what could be more American than that?
“Everyone involved in the design and supply chain was promised they’d be paid in exposure after the work was completed.”
Turbo capitalism?
