Truth Social Whistleblower Now Works at a Starbucks—and Loves It

Six months ago, Will Wilkerson lost his job as former executive vice president for Donald Trump’s Truth Social after providing 150,000 emails and internal documents to federal and state investigators. Now, as a federally-protected whistleblower, Wilkerson has found a new career-path: a certified barista trainer at a Starbucks owned and managed by a North Carolina Harris Teeter. “It’s an honest day’s work,” he told The Washington Post. “I love what I do.” Wilkerson told The Post he applied for hundreds of jobs in the aftermath of his relationship with Truth Social, but that he believed the drama around the ordeal caused hiring managers to steer clear. Wilkerson said the Harris Teeter-owned Starbucks called him back the day after he submitted his resume, which included previous barista experience from his 20s. The Post called Wilkerson “one of the biggest threats to the Trump company’s future.”
