Showerthought after reading about Trump and Tiktok. Bet you Elon advises Trump to force the spinoff so that he can buy it.
I’m done with this country.
Elon probably wants to buy (US) Tiktok and merge it with Xitter.

estimated value of ~ $30-100 billion, depending on if key pieces of proprietary tech (essentially their algorithms) are included.

If it did happen, could Elon afford it? Surely TikTok is much more valuable than Twitter, right? Musk could barely scrounge enough backing and had to put up his Tesla shares as collateral to get enough cash for the Twitter purchase.

he and tesla have substantial crypto holdings; pump that shit some more and he’ll be able to buy it with funny money.
