Fact Check

The Odaily newsflash directly corroborates every element of the claim: Trump urging people to buy Dell, thanking Micron, Dell shares spiking over 3%, and Trump's remarks that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons and that US relations with Venezuela and Iran are good. Multiple contemporaneous X posts within the same minutes-long window (@DeItaone/Walter Bloomberg, @MarketNews_Feed, @Vivek4real_) independently confirm the buy-Dell call, the Micron thanks, the 'donation repaid' remark, and that Dell jumped after the comment. The convergence of a wire-style aggregator flash and multiple real-time financial relays makes the claim highly likely true.

Summary

Dell Technologies shares rose sharply after President Donald Trump told people to "go buy Dell" while promoting the Trump Accounts savings program and thanking Micron. The stock gained more than 3% in early reaction and as much as 10% intraday, briefly adding more than $15.8 billion in market value, according to the newer report. Trump also repeated that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons and said U.S. relations with Venezuela and Iran are good. The latest surge extends a pattern of gains after Trump’s public endorsements of Dell, while also drawing scrutiny because his account previously bought $1 million to $5 million of Dell shares before an earlier endorsement.
