Update: After the publication of this piece, a reader found an archived screenshot of the Trillion Dollar Dinner website. It described the event as “a high-impact effort to reinvigorate American prosperity by uniting world leaders, industry pioneers and investors in a shared commitment to the future of American jobs, innovation, and economic growth. Launched with an exclusive gathering of CEOs, billionaires, and decision-makers, the initiative serves as a catalyst for strategic reinvestment in the nation's workforce, industries, and technological advancements.” The original story follows below.
The U.S. government registered thetrilliondollardinner.gov around the time Donald Trump announced people who invested in the president’s cryptocurrency, $TRUMP, could win a chance to meet him, according to a lawyer who spotted the domain and 404 Media’s corroboration of those findings. The government also registered the domains dinnerforamerica.gov, and thetrillion.gov.
The domains signal that there may have been plans to incorporate official government internet infrastructure with the memecoin investment dinner, with the dinner already presenting ethical issues around the president promoting certain investments he would personally profit from. At one point, at least one of the domains redirected to a Department of Commerce login portal, according to the lawyer.
